What's New: AcceleratorKMS and AcceleratorLXP 5.0 are Here!

AcceleratorKMS 5.0 improves human performance and fully integrates with the AcceleratorLXP module that is focused on the learner experience in operations.  A key component of Hexagon’s Smart Digital Reality, the new AcceleratorKMS operates in the same way as previous versions of the knowledge management suite, while also improving efficiency for the connected worker and expanding the reach of the learning platform. 

AcceleratorKMS 5.0 enhances authoring, enables integration and minimizes operator risks through: 

  • Branch conditional functionality for yes and no decision paths 

  • Embedded iFrames 

  • An API endpoint to start a completion 

 

AcceleratorKMS key features: 

  • Branch conditional functionality enhancements - Provide a clear branch decision for operators that aligns with their field use to reduce problems that arise from misinterpretation and extra steps. It also aids writers by eliminating the need to write duplicative branches or explanations.

  • Endpoint to create a completion for integration enablement - Automatically creates a new completion within AcceleratorKMS with integration, rather than relying on manual actions, to amplify efficiency and accuracy, and allow field workers to focus on carrying out work steps instead of setting up. 

 

AcceleratorLXP 5.0 evolves capabilities: 

  • Multi-language support 

  • Re-qualifications & qualification import 

  • Pathway refresh 

 

AcceleratorLXP key features: 

  • Learning pathway refresh - As a learning administrator, you can change learning modules and conditions and decide how these changes affect learners already on a pathway to get the most up-to-date training. This won't affect the learners who have completed their assignments.  

  • Bulk and individual loading of pre-existing qualifications—You can import existing qualifications, such as past training records, into AcceleratorLXP. This feature also enables the tracking of external training activities within the system.  

  • Multi-language support - UI and user-generated content can now be tagged with languages to provide users with an enriched training experience in their native language.  

  • Re-qualification - These pathways help learners maintain their qualifications over time. Think of this pathway as a set of steps to renew your qualification. The expiration and warning dates control when the requalification will get assigned to learners. Reporting is updated to show when the last requalification occurred. 

With enhancements to the connected field worker experience which increase efficiency and reduce riskCheck out all that we have to offer in this latest update to our documentation:
