Moodle Workplace new features
This feature is part of Moodle Workplace™, which is available through Moodle Certified Partners and Service Providers only.5.1
Read on for Moodle Workplace 5.1 highlights. Full details of the release with technical information can be found in the Moodle Workplace 5.1 release notes.
Centralised tenant management
We've overhauled how multi-tenant settings are managed to simplify administration, enhance control, and improve consistency across tenants.
More granularity on multi-tenant settings permissions
Multi-tenant settings can now be configured to always use the site-wide value, allow overrides only for Site Admins, or permit overrides by users with the right permissions, such as Tenant Administrators, all from the Site Administration menu. This update centralizes configuration management while maintaining control and consistency across tenants.
Centralised Settings
Site Admins can now review and manage multi-tenant settings for all tenants from a single location, simplifying configuration in large, multi-tenant sites.
Improved Support Contact settings
Site Admins can now manage the default support contact details for the entire site and define tenant-specific overrides all in one location under the Site Administration menu.
Improved Mobile settings
Site Admins can now manage the default mobile setting configuration for the entire site and define tenant-specific overrides all in one location under the Site Administration menu.
Manageable tenant list
The tenant management page is now converted to a system report, allowing site admins to easily filter and sort the tenant list. This dramatically improves efficiency for sites with many tenants.
Precision learning delivery
These updates provide course administrators with better control over how and when users interact with learning content.
Automatic Enrolment for Program Courses
Admins can now decide whether enrolment happens automatically when users are allocated to a Program, or only when they first access a course within that Program. Automatic enrolment helps ensure that reporting and progress tracking are accurate from the start, and lets teachers view participant lists immediately.
Flexible Visibility in the Catalogue
Course administrators now have more control over course visibility. You can use a new custom course field to hide a course from the main Catalogue view while still allowing it to be accessible via a direct URL. This is perfect for restricted, internal-only, or exclusive courses that shouldn't appear in the general listing.
Visual Consistency
The course enrolment page now uses the same clean, simple look, buttons, and messages as the Program self-allocation page, creating a single, professional experience across all learning enrolment activities.
Accelerated admin tasks
Flexible Chart Customisation
Users can now select any available column from a report source for the X and Y axes of a chart visualisation. This dramatically improves flexibility for generating visual data insights and allows administrators to re-use existing reports for new charts, saving time and effort.
Bulk Certificate Regeneration
Administrators can now regenerate all issued certificates based on a template with a single action. This feature saves massive amounts of time when a template needs an urgent update for branding or compliance reasons.
Effortless Chart Configuration and Consistent Views
These updates make it easier to set up charts, understand reporting options, and maintain consistent visualisation preferences across sessions.
Improved Guidance
We've enhanced the empty state for the Report and Chart block, offering clearer guidance on how to get started and configure visualisations effectively.
Other Improvements
This release includes several focused updates that enhance usability, consistency, and stability across the platform.
Mobile Experience
The My Certificates page is now fully supported in the mobile app, allowing users to view and download their certificates anytime, anywhere.
Catalogue Display
Added an option to remove images from the Catalogue list view, giving administrators more flexibility in how course listings are presented.
Tenant Roles Administration
The administration interface now clearly distinguishes between cross-tenant and tenant-specific role assignments, helping administrators apply roles in the correct context.
User Profiles
The Jobs profile block now displays direct reports consistently, with unified counts and links that provide a clearer view of organisational structures.
