What's New?
Add an extra layer of security to your site, ensuring only the right person can access their accounts and private information.
By enabling two factor-authentication (2FA), users are required to enter their password and username, as well as additional information only the user has access to, such as a 4-digit pin number or a time sensitive code generated on the user's phone.
This extra security layer makes it difficult for external parties to gain access and steal a user's personal data or identity.
Make it easy for visitors to consent to you using their data (to assist with GDPR compliance), as well as help you meet internal corporate compliance needs.
With Acknowledgements, you can request consent from visitors to accept your terms and conditions or use of cookies to assist with GDPR compliance, as well as display a message to a specified audience requiring them to acknowledge they have read important articles.
You can also access detailed reporting and tracking of acknowledgements such as users who have and haven't acknowledged articles.
Introducing support for popular video sharing platform, Vimeo. Make video sharing with your audience a breeze!
Introducing the new Okta Connector. This brings a fast to setup and simple to use integration between your Elcom site and Okta.
Simplify the process of monitoring and reporting on your site, and let your platform do the heavy lifting for you.
Access new publishing related reports to track documents downloaded, updates made to existing documents and images used on your site, as well as reports alerting administrators to any system errors.
These reports provide detailed information to make it easy for you to monitor your site on a granular level.

Lots of major enhancements have been added into this popular feature including the ability to:

The new enhancements offer greater flexibility and control over the corporate directory fields and organisational chart so you can display information the way you want.
Some highlights include:
With V11 comes an updated and improved user interface to make it easier for you to manage your Elcom platform.
The administration (admin) user interface has gone through a major overhaul. This includes:
Deliver personalised online training without the fuss. V11 now supports the latest SCORM version (2017.1) and Tin Can reports.
You can now access new features like integrated Support for Amazon’s S3 Storage & CloudFront CDN, improved responsive player UI, accessibility improvements and expanded PENS support.

The Summary Information panel can now be found on administration dashboards, displaying your Elcom platform version number, any multi-site information, last software update and more.
Easily create and manage content. Several enhancements have been made to Elcom’s powerful core publishing feature.
Some of these enhancements include:
Aggregate and display content fast with Dynamic Widgets and easily manage these from one central interface, the Widget Library.
Widgets have been streamlined to improve performance, including caching for anonymous users and the loading of multiple widgets in parallel on a page.
Widget refinements are also now only loaded via AJAX after the initial page load to speed up the display of the page.
In addition, a new Widget Library enables you to easily find and manage all your widgets from one place.
V11 provides additional flexibility in automatically authenticating and authorising data between your Elcom site and a third-party identity provider.
Some key enhancements include:
Elcom's enhanced membership module provides full member registration and renewals, as well as permission and security capabilities.
V11 continues Elcom’s focus on ensuring Elcom sites meets accessibility standards and is accessible for all audiences.
Administrators can expect improved generally accessibility across the base platform and accompanying modules.
Plus improved accessibility on event registration forms related to email address and phone number fields, as well as with error messages to provide examples and make messages clear.
What's Improved for End Users?
Finding information is easier than ever. Now you can continue selecting multiple elements to further refine your search queries.
Administrators can add as many filters as needed. Users then have the option of refining results further based on these filters in one go rather than clicking one at a time.
There are also more options around how you want your search results sorted.
Help to improve the accuracy of password inputs by offering users the ability to see the password they're typing on the login page.
Make it easy for your audience to visit and/or contact your organisation during the appropriate hours to ensure a seamless customer experience.
Ensure client or member payment information is always secure. PCI compliant gateways can now be used in all forms.
Previously, you could leverage a PCI compliant payment gateway in the Events and Training modules only.
This new capability means your users can be redirected to externally hosted payment gateway to accept payments and then redirected back to your Elcom site to finalise the transaction, for all forms.
Engage users by adding social streams to articles for private conversations with a group of people or open conversations with everyone.
Elcom's membership module provides full member registration and renewals, and now comes with CAPTCHA support.
