Over the last few weeks we have been focused on improving the speed and performance of ARMATURE Fabric to make the software more responsive to user actions. Please see below for a summary of the most recent developments. We hope some of these updates help support your organizational goals, better engage your stakeholders, and improve the way you work.

Performance Enhancements

We have made some general system updates that will improve the speed and performance of Instruments and Reviews within ARMATURE Fabric. These improvements will be particularly noticeable for large instruments.

 

Note that we will also provide a set of guidelines that will help you to structure Instruments more effectively in the near future so you can optimize performance.

Feature Updates

We have made numerous updates to Instruments and Reviews that reflect recent common requests from our user community. These include:

  • ARMATURE Fabric User Interface 
    1. Disabling the “Navigation/Exit” feature when a page is loading or saving
    2. Disabling the “Next” button on the last page of a Response/Review
    3. Translated Instrument Names display based on selected language within Process Management

 

  • Issue Management 
    1. Submit button removed from Organization/Program Representative views when issues are created within self-assessments or surveys
    2. Organization/Program Representative issue listings now includes due dates

 

  • Continuous Professional Development/Training Pathways
    1. User interface improvements
    2. Training pathway name - maximum length instructions enforced
    3. Track categories now support a “Name” property as well as a maximum value property
    4. Track Required Credits and Selections now consider category maximum requirements. For example:
      • A track with a requirement of 10 and a category with a requirement of 4
      • 6 credits attributed to the category (maximum requirement of 4)
      • Only 4 of the attributed credits on the category will apply to the track
    5. Required Tracks will now be promoted to a person’s missing Tracks
    6. Below are some sample screenshots of these new features:
