New Dashboard UI

[Floria7]

Help! Can anyone tell me how to find Legacy Fast Track!? I’ve gone through and unpinned all Fastracks 1 onwards but can’t find my Legacy FT. Perhaps it is now Fluency FT?
As they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Don’t like to be negative but …,

[mike]

Thanks for all the feedback! Super helpful, and apologies for any frustration as we iron out the bugs. I’ll respond to as much as I can here.

@alabama1336

and another thing, whats about “cloze-reading” ? is there none at ENG-UKR?

Correct, there’s no Cloze-Reading for Eng-Ukr yet.

@LuciusVorenusX

when in reality it is NOT a one size fits all solution and would be better being able to be set by collection

Great point! I really want to get this added.

@LuciusVorenusX

That means that the overwhelming majority of the collections on the dashboard are, for me, clutter. Clicking on the (now huuuuuggggee, elongated) [Play] button will result in nothing more than the accursed sight of crying Pikachu

You can unpin these from the dashboard now. We also added a notification when max reviews are set to 0 and there are no more new sentences. There’s still an issue of “if max reviews is > 0 then you can always play a collection, you just score half points for playing sentences not ready for review”, we’ll aim to come up with a solution for that separately. In any case, hopefully reduced Pikachu/swearing.

@LuciusVorenusX

at my normal browser window size I’ve got maybe a third of a screen of white space

Might you be able to share a screenshot of where you mean?

@LuciusVorenusX

to get to Activity Feed at all

Added back to the dropdown menu!

@morbrorper

It has been reported that file upload of sentences is no longer available.

This should now be fixed.

@LateSilence4367

The page with statistics of how much I’ve done each day, %correct per day, etc going back to the beginning. Where is this now?

The “Full History” button top right of the graph.

@LisaDee

There doesn’t seem to be an option to add words to a collection anymore, only sentences?

This should now be fixed!

@Floria7

Can anyone tell me how to find Legacy Fast Track!?

Fixed! There was a bug with the name.

[LuciusVorenusX]

Two birds with one post…

Hi @Floria7 , it should be here. Note that both the old and the new FFT have the same name in the Collections list (you can see the new one above). (Edit; Mike got in the fix just before I posted.)

@Mike, this is what I mean about “I’ve got maybe a third of a screen of white space”; actually that’s not the full width of my screen either. (But normally my browser window is slightly smaller than this.)

[Floria7]

Many thanks, will try again.…Scrolled way down, found it. Cumbersome indeed!

Can I be a further pain and ask where Radio or Handsfree is, or is it only on the App?

Cheers all!

[FragrantSky8396]

Hi everyone,

quick question, is there a way to still access the consolidate progress on the fluency fast track ? I appreciated to see the overall % completion and launch the learning progress from there.

Thank you!

I like the new dashboard. The first look of it was somewhat ugly because I had a jumble of old collections I worked on before amplified in scale by a new dashboard setting. I just unpinned all that clutter and left the current collection I am working on. I am not sure I could unpin that clutter in the old dashboard , but that amplified scale made me do it and I am happy with the new look.

[barcarolle]

Also big thank you for the “explain” button on hands-free Clozemaster radio feature. Can’t imagine my daily walks without my Clozemaster radio. Now it enhanced by that very helpful button. Thanks again!

[HerrSubset]

@mike, I was quite happy to see that the web UI now allows to pin/unpin collections, just like the app. I also like that the dropdown to select languages is dedicated for that purpose (no other menu items in there) and that it’s a bit more prominent.

@Floria7

Unfortunately I’ve lost my tab with a copy of the old dashboard, but I don’t recall having seen that in Web before. Also Mike’s original post in the announcement thread reads to me like it was only ever an app enhancement.

[Floria7]

Ciao @LuciusVorenusX . Thanks for replying, and yes indeedy, you’re quite right, so my apologies, Mike, for overthinking. Already getting used to the new format, and this is still my favourite place.

Getting a little more used the new dashboard, the excitement I felt on the first day about the ability to unpin collections to focus on a few that I am actively working on, i.e., playing new sentences, isn’t there any more.

I realized that each time I review sentences from an unpinned collection, that collection gets pinned again which defeats the purpose. Would it be possible to have the unpin decision stick until user explicitly pins it again from the collections list? Any collection that I am only reviewing can easily be found from the Review section if there are any sentences to review, so it doesn’t need to be on the dashboard. I realize people might use the dashboard collection list differently. I was personally excited about seeing the progress charts for the target collections. (That is, assuming the long and thick play button gets resized.)

@LuciusVorenusX

Even leaving aside the aesthetics of it, at my normal browser window size I’ve got maybe a third of a screen of white space, and to me that’s just wasted space especially when things that I use regularly (like changing review cycles since I can’t set them by collection HINT HINT) and the Forum link are now buried away under obscure controls. To me, that’s a waste of screen space

I agree that a link to the forum would be a perfect use of this prime real estate that’s currently fallow.

What I do like so far:

• Link to the Reading page
• Top portion of the dashboard. I find it much easier to read.

[Fnirk1]

I’ve noticed that the new language list has become more like the old one. Now it’s easier to read!
Thanks @mike !

Yea agreed that’s annoying. What do you think of “Review All” only loads sentences ready for review from pinned collections?

I am no longer able to find the download button under my favorites in order to download my favorite sentences to a file? Any help?

[barcarolle]

Hi @Mike! What happen to my dashboard? I have a blank screen. Can’t use the Clozemaster. It’s funny that just two days ago I said I loved it. Well, nothing to love today. Please help.

[mike]

@CLD92 we’ve removed that feature for now, sorry. How were you using it?

@barcarolle sorry about that! What browser and OS are you using?

[barcarolle]

All good now. Thanks!

The use of the download option for Favorites was mentioned a couple of days ago in this comment by @LuciusVorenusX -

New Dashboard UI

In addition to all of the “Add Sentence” options that are gone (mentioned above by @morbrorper and discussed here), another thing seems to have vanished; that is, the Download button that used to be under the “Favorites” block of the old dashboard. As I recall, this was used mainly when people wanted to download groups of built in sentences to upload to custom collections. You could add the sentences to the Favorites, download the Favorites, make whatever changes were needed then reupload the f…

A specific process using the Favorites download button when moving sentences between collections was laid out in this thread (oooooh, look, it was written by me! ) -

Move sentences from one collection to another?

Hi @fyark, There is a way to do it, but it requires you to get your hands dirty with a spreadsheet. I’m also assuming here that you have access to a PC to do this on (you may be able to do it on a tablet/phone, but I haven’t tried). Go to the collection that contains the sentences that you want to move. Click on the “manage sentences” button. Now Favourite the sentences that you want to move. There may be quite a lot of these, on multiple pages. When you’ve favourited all the senten…

Now, in my particular case I would be more than happy (elated , overjoyed etc.) if a bulk copy-to-collection button were added on the Manage Collections pane (currently copy-to-collection has to be done one sentence at a time).

Such a bulk copy-to-collection button could easily replace (and be a much better solution) for the use case that I highlighted in that old thread.

So, would that be an option that you could implement instead @mike ?

I can think of other reasons where I might to want to download sentences and then upload them again with modifications into a new collection, so a download option might still be useful (e.g. bulk editing of sentences could be much quicker by using the download/upload option with external editing/scripting even when Clozemaster has the facilities to make the same edits).

Perhaps @CLD92 has a different use case.

P.S.
I realise that previously we were downloading/uploading sentences that were not proprietary as they were sourced from Tatoeba, and that now with the new FFT you have proprietary content (intellectual property) of which you may be quite protective. Therefore, whilst I am loathe to see a facility such as the Favorites download disappear, I am looking for alternatives that might fit in with your business model, such as a bulk copy-to-collection button (mmmm, now did I by any chance mention a bulk copy-to-collection button previously somewhere in this message ? ).
P.P.S.
I may even have mentioned a bulk copy-to-collection button somewhere before -

Feature Request - Enhanced Manage Sentences Options

Feature Request: I would like to see the following additions to the Manage Sentences capability - A button for the existing Copy to Collection feature in the list of “Apply to all on current page”. A button for the existing Delete from Collection feature in the list of “Apply to all on current page” (I recognize that this is dangerous, so the current - or enhanced - situation of confirmation popups is required). As with the current facility for deleting individual entries, this would only be …
