OLEFA 11.9 now comes with a completely new group manager


A new groupmanager module is introduced, replacing the old schoolmanager and teamworker applications that were located inside OLEFAdesk. Features:
  • Intuitive new interface.
  • Possibility to reactivate old user accounts, that have been put to 'inactive' inside a new group. You can search by the users' first or last names, by their former group membership and/or by their period of activity. This is particularly interesting in a school context, since it avoids deleting and recreating the accounts every school year and thus offers more continuity e.g. long time portfolios of a user's contributions).
  • Possibility to reactivate several users at once, for example all the former users of a group.
  • Groupmasters can reset their members' passwords, edit usernames and nicknames and print password lists.
  • Better handling of special characters when creating completely new users.
  • Generating more representative usernames: When several persons in a group share the same first name, the first character of the last name is added instead of a number.
