The event was filled with insightful discussions about content, implementation, theming/design, and best practices. One key takeaway?

Your voice is crucial in shaping the future of Totara!

Totara users now have the power to submit feature requests and vote on ideas directly within the Totara Community. This platform provides an opportunity for users to ensure that Totara evolves to meet their needs.

Simply log into the Totara Community, navigate to Collaborate, and select Roadmap and Feature Requests to view and vote on suggestions. The Totara global product team actively reviews feedback and prioritises highly-voted features, making this a great way for user ideas to be considered for future versions.

Key points raised at the event:

  • Numerous feedback suggestions about certifications for users to comment on and vote.
  • Escalating reminder notifications and improved management of notifications.
  • Attendance tracking via QR code.
  • Integration with rostering systems.
  • Custom fields on job assignments.
  • The ability to easily switch “login-as” accounts.

Users can find existing feedback related to these points in the Roadmap and Feature Requests section of the Totara Community right now!

Events like this are a vital part of Think Learning’s strategy: to listen, digest, and act on user feedback in an open and inclusive forum, where all ideas are welcomed and encouraged and will help to shape the Future of the Totara platform.
