It’s been an exciting few months seeing the positive demand for our new Sales+ product. Streamlining education sales management allows you to do more with less while providing your applicants with an amazing sales experience.
We have made a lot of enhancements to the Application Form Builder and Submission process including the Payments & Billing capability.
Security is a fundamental pillar of our products and processes. Not only are the products secure to use, they are designed to prevent you needing to keep data outside of Wisenet in potentially less secure environments.
For example, Sales+ removes personal data and files from being in emails and employee’s computers reducing potential exposure points.
Security is a never ending project. Most enhancements we make, you gain the benefit without needing to lift a finger. Some features require you to enable a setting like Enforcing Social Login which allows you to enforce Single-Sign-On (SSO) and 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Wisenet account.
We love hearing your feedback so please let us know your thoughts on the latest updates.

Auto Grade Updates
Moodle
The Moodle Auto Grade plugin was updated with extra logic and logging to make Auto Grading more robust. We have installed this on all Hosted Moodles.
Canvas
A complete redesign of how we check graded Assignments to accommodate random delays from Canvas. New more robust logic for checking that all assignments within an Assignment Group has a grade including the “Excused” is considered as graded.
This means that if there are 4 assignments that belong to an AssignmentGroup and 3 are Graded and 1 is Excused, the grade will still be sent to be AutoGraded.
Previously Excused was being considered as ungraded and was skipping AutoGrade.

Canvas Sub Account Filtering
Customers can decide which Canvas accounts will sync with Wisenet providing more flexibility. Particularly useful for customers with many Wisenet accounts.
Locations
The entire Location section has been redesigned with our new page styles making it easier for users to interact with Locations. Can’t say we are sad to see the death of this old page.
