Improvements to the My Team hub
March 21, 2022

New functionality has arrived in the My Team hub that gives Showpad Coach managers and admins more capabilities to manage their team’s learning initiatives. Managers will now see a new Members page that shows all of the users that are their team members and report to them. Managers can easily zoom in on specific users' activity to provide insights on both sides. An Assignments tab reveals all the coursework assigned, completed, and in process or not started for that particular user. The Meetings tab focuses on their MeetingIQ recordings, allowing managers to easily view past meetings and glean coachable moments.
Quick stats are also available, such as the last time the user was active, their average time spent in Showpad per week, and more. Managers can also find their own action items, such as pitches to review, when checking on their team's work.

Sunsetting support for IE11
March 21, 2022

To keep giving our customers the best experience and innovations, Showpad will end support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) at the end of March. New web standards and browsers have enabled better and more innovative online experiences in the past years. Sales users and their buyers will be better served through faster and more responsive web access.
Using these new and secure standards allows us to introduce significant new Showpad features that are not supported on IE11.
