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.

Featured Organizations

Enhancements

Bricks Create

The Bricks Create application has been enhanced with the following features.

My Bricks – Sort by Name

On the ‘My Bricks’ page, the option to sort by name has been added.

Default Placeholder Images

If a brick image is not provided, colorful placeholder images will be shown. These default placeholders are randomly generated and can only be changed when a custom image is uploaded. They appear for bricks on the following tabs.

• My Bricks

• Collaborative Bricks

• Team’s Bricks

Additional Table Editing Capabilities

The following table editing capabilities are now available when authoring bricks:

• Add / remove rows at any point in table

• Add new line to middle of cells

• Align left / center / right

Add Italics Option

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
