Description

We are pleased to announce the 2023.3 release! 

With this new version, we are introducing the initial iteration of SCORM capabilities in our Training Module! Starting with this release, you will be able to upload SCORM training content and assign users to train on that content, all inside of ZenQMS. 

There are also various PDF conversion bugs resolved with release, please see traceability matrix for full details. 

Impact

This release only impacts you if you would like to start using SCORM training content. If you have no plans to utilize SCORM training courses, this release does not impact you.

There are other bugs in this release that have more minor impacts, see the traceability matrix for the full list of bugs.

To help prepare you for this review ahead of this being available in app.zenqms.com, we will invite all account administrators into test2.zenqms.com (will be available the week of July 31st) to view the contents of 2023.3 four weeks before it is going to be available in app.zenqms.com.

Version Details

ZenQMS comprises a microservice architecture that breaks up large functions into smaller services. This reduces risk in the development and release process. As such this flagship release version is actually composed of the releases of the individual services components. It is entirely possible for a component service to not change versions in a release cycle even if other components do. Here is the summary for this release.

ZenQMS Release 2023.3 contains the following “FixVersions”.  We use FixVersion as an internal versioning scheme for our modules/services and maintain them in Jira.

Updated Modules:

• Training
• Settings
• PDF generation service

Unchanged Modules: 

• Documents
• Issues
• Change Control
• Tasks
• Audits
• Administration
• SSO configuration
• Import/Export Data service
• Daily Summary emails
• Reports

Important Notes:

• This announcement plus the banner announcement in the application to ALL users is our formal announcement for the release.
• Deployment (as always) is handled by the ZenQMS team.
