Released 2021 Nov. 2 (build 45.15.23)
Help section update
All users: The Help section of our platform will be updated to make it easier to navigate and to provide content that is more relevant to all users.
In addition to simplifying the menus and removing redundant information, some current Help content will be relocated elsewhere in the platform. Below is a list of this content and where they’ll be moved to:
- Customer Success Manager info (Admin Settings > Platform > View Account Info)
- "About" info (Admin Settings > Platform > View Account Info)
- Legal info (My Preferences > Legal)
- IP rights info (My Preferences > Legal)
Also, the "Suggest a Feature" link has been removed due to the relocation of the Feature Request Forum. Users can now submit requests for new platform features by clicking the Resource Center icon at the bottom of the Main Navigation and selecting "Suggest an improvement". This will take them to the improved Feature Request experience where they can post, view, vote for, and prioritize features they'd like added to the platform.
User Provisioning: Support for nicknames, phone numbers
System Admins: Jostle's User Provisioning API will be updated to support fields for a user's nickname as well as up to four phone numbers (one of which can be marked as "primary"): workofficephone, workmobilephone, personalmobilephone, and homephone.

Did you know that the first recorded oatmeal cookie recipe to be published in a U.S. cookbook was in 1896? The cookie then rose in prominence in the 1900s due in part to every container of Quaker Oats having an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe included on its label.
Flash forward 100+ years and oatmeal cookies are still as popular as ever. Which is why I wasn't surprised to learn there was a National Oatmeal Cookie Day (April 30). What I was surprised to learn however, is that there was more than one. National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day (March 18) is specifically meant to celebrate the "lacy" variety of oatmeal cookies, which is basically a wafer-thin version of your usual oatmeal cookie, that's typically served with desserts.
But come on, they're both "oatmeal cookies", right?. And there's no reason for there to be two celebrations for the same cookie (it's like that friend we all have who thinks they're deserving of a "birthday week" instead of just one day). Especially when the lists of ways to celebrate either of these days boil down to the exact same things: Bake cookies! Share cookies! Eat cookies!
Ohhhh. Now I get it.
Okay, I stand corrected. There is a totally a good reason for a double celebration. In fact, I'd even suggest we get some multiple celebrations going on...National Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, National Oatmeal Nut Cookie Day, National Oatmeal Cookie Topped with Ice Cream and Drizzled Caramel Day...I'd be more than happy to help celebrate (and sample) them all. 🍪👀
