Audit Improvements
Audits can be used by system administrators to determine what is happening in the system. We have updated these audit reports to improve your experience when trying to extract this data. For these audit improvements, we have added new functionality and updated some older functionality.
Dashboard access
There is a new dashboard access audit which lists each instance that the dashboard has been viewed. This can be filtered to show more specific information, such as who has viewed the dashboard between certain dates:
Click Show advanced filters to display all of the available advanced filters:
Each field is described below:
- Dashboard title - This allows you to filter by dashboard.
- Exclude internal organisation - Select this checkbox to exclude views made by users from internal organisations.
- Organisation or group - This allows you to filter by organisation or group.
- User - This allows you to filter by user.
Once you have entered all of your criteria, click Show audit to view your audit. Optionally, you can download the report to excel by clicking Download to excel.
In the new audit screen, users now can sort the responses and also conduct an inline pivot.

Enhanced content copying
For HighQ 5.0, we have made improvements to the process of copying content. Copying content enables users to create a duplicate of a piece of content in another module, or allows users to copy a piece of content but change minor details of that content. So, for example, if a user has an event, but only wants to change the date of the event and no other details, they can copy the event and do just that.
What is new?
In HighQ 5.0, when you create a copy of a piece of content, that copy will be opened automatically, so you can continue editing it
Refer and Copy content are now two separate settings, allowing you to enable them separately. If you would like to enable these settings, please contact HighQ support.
Copying content
In order to copy a piece of content, navigate to the piece of content that you want to copy in the Content hub, and navigate to More actions > Copy content:
The Copy content screen is displayed:
This screen allows you to select which module you want to copy your content to. Select the module, and click Copy to selected module.
The content will be copied and you will see a confirmation message:
The copy of the content will now be displayed:
You can make any changes or amendments to your content. Click Publish to publish your content and that new piece of content will now be displayed in the content list.
Content navigation and templates
As of HighQ 5.0, navigation elements can now be added to publications, events and video content.
What do you need to know about content navigation?
- It is not enabled by default
- A navigation content element must be added to each module
- Default navigation can be set for a module
- Changing the default navigation will update all navigation content in a module
- Navigation is managed centrally
- The same navigation can be re-used in dashboards and content. This gives users a consistent experience between pages on your site
- If you want to add a navigation to a custom template, please contact your account manager
As of HighQ 5.0, we have implemented changes to ensure our system templates are more consistent between different types of content, e.g. publications, events and video content.
What do you need to know about templates?
- Changes will not affect custom templates
- Changes will not affect existing default templates
