New Features
New items represent new features/functionality that have been added to ScholarRx applications.
Brick Exchange – Logged-In State View
The Brick Exchange dashboard has been updated to include different views for a logged in vs. a logged-out state. When logged in, the following new areas are displayed.
‘Continue Where I Left Off’
‘See All History’
‘Up Next’
‘New & Noteworthy’
‘Deeply Engaged’
‘Discover New Lists’
‘Featured Organizations’
Continue Where I Left Off’
The ‘Continue where I left off’ section displays the last two bricks the user visited, with context back to the collection or list from where the visit originated. A ‘See All History’ option is also available and provides a method to view brick history for the last three months.
‘See All History’
To see all brick view history, you can click the ‘See All History’ link in the ‘Continue Where I Left Off’ section or click the history icon from the menu. This view provides a method to see all bricks that have been viewed over the past three months, grouped by date. Bricks will only appear once per day, so if you have visited the same brick multiple times a day it will only display once. History can also be searched by brick titles.
When either of these two options are clicked, the following history page is displayed.
‘Up Next’
The ‘Up Next’ section displays up to ten bricks that are up next in the collection or list being viewed. If there are no other bricks to be viewed in the collection or list, or no bricks have ever been viewed, this section will not display.
New & Noteworthy
The ‘New & Noteworthy’ section is populated by ScholarRx.
Deeply Engaged
The ‘Deeply Engaged’ section displays up to three bricks where users are spending the most time.
Discover New Lists
The ‘Discover New Lists’ section is populated by ScholarRx. While there is not a limit to the number of lists that can be displayed, we recommend no more than five for the best use of real estate on the dashboard.

When authoring bricks, you can now apply italics to the following brick sections (vignettes):
Header 1
Header 2
Review question stems
[Example of italics on the toolbar after selecting Header 1 text]
Application Update Message
During an application upgrade, the update message will not appear if the customer is on the authoring or annotation page. This enhancement ensures that customers can continue editing or annotating without the brick being locked and preventing updates from saving successfully.
Use AI to Generate Review Questions
When authoring bricks, you can now use AI to generate single review questions at the end of a brick.
To generate a question, click the ‘Generate with AI’ button at the top of the ‘Review Questions’ section. The AI Assistant modal displays.
As noted in the text, a question will be generated based on the content in your brick. If questions already exist, the tool will attempt to create a question that is unique and works in the context of the existing questions.
Add additional instructions, if desired, then click the ‘Generate’ button. AI will analyze the brick content and generate a single review question with answers and answer explanations.
Click ‘Append’ to add the question, or ‘Dismiss’ to exit out of the AI question generator without adding the question. When the ‘Append’ button is clicked, and questions already exist in the brick, the question will be added to the end. The question may be removed; however, it may not be reordered.
Faculty Portal

When on the ‘Onboarding Groups’ page, enhancements have been made to provide users with the cohort manager or contract manager role(s) with additional information related to onboarding groups.

Name column
The name column has been updated to include the type of onboarding group (student or faculty).
Users column
Previously, there were separate ‘pending users’ and ‘user count’ columns. These columns have been combined into the ‘Users’ column which provides a method to see the users who have onboarded using the one-click onboarding link. Should a user require verification, a pending users count will also be displayed in this column.
Active Dates column
The 'active date' column shows the start and end dates for each user, making it easy to identify when they completed the onboarding process and when their 'active' status is valid based on the subscription end date.
Manage Groups page
The ‘Manage Groups’ page provides cohort managers the ability to see additional metadata pertaining to the cohort and the students or faculty who have completed the onboarding process.
To access the ‘Manage Groups’ page, click on the cohort group name. The ‘Manage Groups’ page is displayed.
The following table provides a description of the added/combined fields on this page.
Cohort Name
The Cohort name section displays information related to the cohort and includes:
• The cohort group type (faculty or student)

• The Academic Period name entered on the license as it was created.
Licensed Products
The Licensed Products section display the names of the products to which the institution is subscribed.
One-Click Onboarding Link
The ‘One-Click Onboarding Link’ section displays the onboarding link for the cohort. The cohort manager of the group can click on this link and share it with members of their institution for onboarding purposes.
Allowed Email Domains
The Allowed Email Domains section displays the email domain(s) that will be accepted during the onboarding process. If an email domain is entered and it is not in this list, the user will be prevented from completing the onboarding process.
Search field
This field now provides a method to search by name or email.

The name and email columns were originally displayed separately but have now been combined into one column.
