Users are encouraged to familiarise themselves with 'Known Issues' described on this page. These issues needn't be reported, as DIT and DLT are already aware of them.

This known issue is only related to new sites that have used Course/Organisation Copy to carry over information from an existing site using CSU Replay. If using Export/Import, the issue will not occur.
When using CSU Replay in a site for the first time, a message will appear indicating that the site is not provisioned and that it needs to be set up. Upon configuring, the site will provision, and a new folder dedicated to the site will be created (with the option to use other folders if desired).
When this issue occurs (after a course/organisation copy), the new site will not provide the opportunity to set up a new instance in CSU Replay. Instead, it will be pointing back to the folder created from the past site.
The workaround to be used (which will affect the available statistics) is to rename the resource folder to that of the current subject site. Be sure that the session code, for example, 201760 is updated to the correct session. This will avoid the folder and its videos from being removed under CSU Replay's Retention Policy.
Status: Fixed in the next CSU Replay (Panopto) update

The official help site for CSU Replay (Panopto) can be found using the following link:

When hiding Subject, Course, or Organisation sites in the mobile app, it will also impact your site listing when viewing using your web browser. The Subject, Course, or Organisation site name will be hidden from your site listing; only the Site ID will be displayed, e.g. S-ITC105_201890_W_D.

When changing the order of a menu item via drag and drop the menu item changes to a different position when the page is refreshed.
Workaround: make an order change via the Keyboard Reordering button (highlighted below). You only have to move one item once and you can then use drag and drop to reorder again.

When an Interact2 site has a link to the Zoom tool and it's viewed in Student Preview mode there's no way of getting back to viewing the subject site as the bread crumb navigation at the top is hidden.
This only occurs in Student Preview mode, this does not affect students and staff during normal use of Interact2.

Please be advised that this entry is not related to a system issue, but instead, is to highlight the general cause of these occurrences.
An elevated number of instances will be reported whenever the 'Force Completion' option is used from the test options. This option will force the test participant to complete the test in one sitting. Working as designed; If a test participant leaves the test area for any reason, the test attempt will end, and they will not be able to resume their test.
If exiting via the browser, a warning will be presented to the participant confirming their intention to leave or reload the test.
Incidences may occur when a participant: closes their browser, navigates away from the test, refreshes/reloads the test page, experiences a computer crash, experiences Internet (inc. Wi-Fi ®) issues, etc.
Recommendations:
It will be at the Subject Coordinators discretion whether, or not, the participant is allowed to re-take the assessment.

On the Edit Test Options screen, if the Help is turned off, the Test Presentation section setting 'Prohibit Backtracking' moves up to share the line with 'One at a Time' option, making it difficult to tell which checkbox goes with what setting.
Expected Behaviour:
Prohibit Backtracking is below One at a Time
Observed Behaviour:
Prohibit Backtracking is on the same line as One at a Time
No known workaround at the moment.
