NexPort Solutions releases NexPort Campus v. 5.0.9, providing users with increased speed for section listings,
bug fixes and improved UI, introduces NexPort Scheduling Services (NSS)
OKLAHOMA CITY – March 25, 2014 – NexPort Solutions Group is excited to announce NexPort Campus v. 5.0.9 point release, which introduces several performance and stability enhancements. This release adds a force repair feature to fix broken transcript records, a few visual enhancements, increased speed and fixes numerous bugs.
New Features
Customer Service now has the ability to force repair any broken transcript records. Repairing transcript records restores broken transcript records for students whose records stopped synchronizing with a student's enrollments.
Performance Enhancements
With 5.0.9, NexPort provides users with greater stability and performance by changing the way scheduled jobs are handled. NexPort Campus now uses a separate service for scheduled jobs called NexPort Scheduling Services (NSS). NSS runs on its own server, ensuring background work, such as deleting large organizations, cleaning up subscriptions or indexing user accounts, will not affect the performance and stability of the main user interface.
Users can also experience faster loading of section listings. NexPort Campus section listings in Group Management now loads at a faster speed.
Major Bugs Fixes
With this release, NexPort users will also find issues they may have previously encountered now resolved. NexPort software engineers work closely with customer service to fix any bugs users might confront. One of these bug fixes includes edit options showing correctly when selecting the top organization in the “Recent” groups listing. Before, this option was showing the edit options as non-editable.
Users will also no longer receive an error when filtering or sorting by “Last Assignment Activity Date” column. Last Assignment Activity Date is not a sortable column in the system. In 5.0.8, it was inadvertently made sortable in the UI. The column is no longer sortable as of this release.
Other fixes include:
NexPort Campus is a secure, hosted learning and knowledge management system. NexPort Campus also supports interactive engagement within learning communities through the use of videos, organization-wide calendar, shared documents, organization-wide webpages and threaded discussions. Additional system features include data interoperability with external systems, secure digital libraries with subscriber-only access and an integrated Student Information System (SIS).
NexPort Campus also allows clients to provide their learners with customized, on-demand training and education environment. Clients operate within their own branded portals to deliver their unique content and services independently of each other. Customers may subdivide their portals to establish and manage subordinate secure portals for their customers, subsidiaries or divisions. Each portal provides privacy protection and security. Your custom portal can be setup with Secure Sockets Layer technology (128-bit encryption) and a custom domain.
NexPort Solutions Group enables educators and learners to use NexPort Campus to create, organize and hold webmeetings using NexPort Solutions Group’s own NexMeeting. NexMeeting promotes virtual learning, providing users with the ability to share desktops, hold conversations using headset and telephonic audio, survey meeting participants and share videos, PowerPoint slides, photos and documents using the whiteboard.
