Open LMS Highlights

New in Open Reports engine

New Report Source: Tenant Details in Open Report Engine

A new Tenant report source is now available in the Open Report Engine, allowing administrators to generate reports with key information about tenants across their environment.

This new source provides greater visibility into tenant configuration, usage, and administration, helping teams monitor tenant activity and manage capacity more effectively.

The following columns are available within this report source:

• Tenant name

• Tenant name (linked to Tenant page)

• Tenant ID

• Tenant Site name

• Tenant Site short name

• Tenant category

• Tenant category ID

• Tenant cohort

• User limit value

• Administrators

• Login URL

• Tenant users count

• Count of users that have never logged in

• Count of users that have logged in

This enhancement enables administrators to easily audit tenant configurations, track user adoption, and support operational and reporting needs across multi-tenant environments.

New Report Source: Tenant Members

A new report source, “Tenant members,” is now available in the reporting engine.

This source allows administrators to retrieve information about users associated with tenants, combining tenant-level details with standard user data.

This enhancement enables more comprehensive reporting by linking tenant information directly with user data in a single report source.

Announcements – Tenant Specific

This release introduces the ability to create tenant-specific Site Announcements.

What’s New

• Tenant Managers can now post announcements in Site Announcements that are visible only to users within their associated tenant.

• Announcements created by Site Administrators will continue to be visible to all users across all tenants, as usual.

How It Works

To enable this functionality:

1. Assign users the Tenant Manager role at:
   Site Home → Assigned roles

2. Ensure the role includes the capability to add news to the site.

Once configured:

• If the user posting the announcement belongs to a specific tenant, the announcement will be visible only to users within that tenant.

• Site Administrator announcements remain global and visible to all tenants.

This enhancement allows for more targeted communication while maintaining global announcement capabilities for site-wide updates.

Experimental eCommerce: New Product Page Details (Optional)

We’ve introduced a new optional Product Detail Page as part of our experimental eCommerce enhancements.

This update provides a richer and more informative product experience, including:

• A dedicated section displaying detailed product information

• A structured layout highlighting the key benefits of the product

• For course-based products:

  • An expandable Course Description section

  • A preview of selected course elements, including:

    • Course image

    • Course category

  

Configuration

This feature can be enabled in:

/admin/settings.php?section=commercesettings

New Settings

• showproductdetailpage

• defaultproductbenefitslayout

Behavior

• If showproductdetailpage is disabled (unchecked):
  Users are directed straight to checkout from the catalogue (current behavior).

• If showproductdetailpage is enabled (checked):
  A new “Product information” button is displayed in the catalogue.
  Clicking this button redirects users to a dedicated Product Detail Page before proceeding to checkout.

Benefits Layout Options

Two different layouts are available for displaying product benefits:

Grid

List

Administrators can configure the default layout using the: defaultproductbenefitslayout setting.

Current Scope (Initial Version)

In this initial release:

• Only Course details are available for expansion within the Product Detail Page.

• Support for Programs, activities, and other benefit types will be included in a future version.

Additional fixes and improvements

Removal of Atto Editor (Effective July 2026)

As part of the upgrade to Moodle 5.1, scheduled for July 2026, the Atto editor will be fully removed, as previously announced in earlier versions.

The Tiny editor has been set as the default editor for some time, and we have continued to enhance it by adding sub-plugins and capabilities to provide the best possible content creation and editing experience across the platform.

We recognize that some clients may still be using Atto, or allowing end users to choose between Atto and Tiny. For this reason, we strongly recommend planning ahead for this change by promoting and encouraging the use of the Tiny editor prior to the Moodle 5.1 upgrade.

Taking these steps in advance will help ensure a smooth transition and adoption for users who may not yet be fully familiar with the Tiny editor.
