Schedules can now be defined more easily just by selecting a report audience.
New Audiences UI
The audience UI has been completely refactored making it easier to introduce new audience types following the same approach as in Dynamic Rules conditions and actions. There are three new types of audiences available for system roles, cohorts and manually added users
New Scheduling
Following audiences, Report Builder scheduling has been refactored too. Now you can just pick any existing audiences as recipients to easily schedule a report for them.
Audience types
Job
With this redesigned type of audience is possible to give access to a report to users in specific departments and/or positions
Cohort
The users in the selected cohorts will have access to the report
Manually added users

New My Learning and My Teams blocks
Learning Overview and Teams can now be added as standard blocks to the dashboard, and can be combined with the existing settings to disable the Learning and Team tabs to bring more customisation to the Workplace dashboard.
Both blocks can be added now to any region in the dashboard.
My Learning
This block keeps all the functionality of the Learning tab: show all courses, programs and certifications for the user, with two different views and filters
My Teams
This block keeps all the functionality of the Teams tab: show people reporting to the user, with users and job details and relevant information about completion and overdue or expired learning
SAML2 in Workplace
In this release, we've completed the first stage towards supporting different per-tenant configurations for one of the most used authentication plugins in the Workplace sector: SAML2. Workplace 3.11 improves SAML2 compatibility making it ready for multi-tenancy implementation which will be added in 3.11.1.

Per-tenant dashboards
Now it’s possible to define a specific dashboard for each tenant with the same editing capabilities Moodle already implements in the core Dashboard. Thanks to this, tenants administrators will be able to manage their tenant’s dashboard and reset the configuration for users in the tenant.
Default site dashboard page
The global administrator can configure blocks on the default site dashboard
Tenant dashboard page
Either global administrator or tenant administrator can configure the blocks on the separate dashboard, default for the users in this tenant only
Create tenant dashboard
Each tenant can choose to create a personalised dashboard
Link tenant dashboard
Tenant dashboard can be linked back to the site default dashboard
Multi-tenant SAML2
auth_saml2 now supports per-tenant configuration in Workplace.
Configure SAML2 services per tenant
Identity providers in SAML2 can be limited to individual tenants
Locking user fields on a per-tenant basis
Individual tenants can enable or disable the SAML2 plugin and also override fields locking
Configure different user profile fields per tenant
We have extended multi-tenancy support in user profile fields to allow the definition of different user profile fields per each tenant.
Profile categories can be linked to individual tenants
When profile fields belong to tenant-specific categories they will only appear for users in those tenants, including sign-up and edit forms
Profile fields can be defined as identity fields
Additionally, you can define profile fields as identity fields, which means that various user reports across Moodle Workplace will display the fields relevant to the current tenant.
