Directra Build #356
Released on November 21, 2008
Custom Gadgets
We have added custom gadgets, which allow you to create your own content, home page gadgets and tabs. With this feature you can customize your Group's home page and provide information that doesn't fit in the built-in gadgets provided by Directra. Custom Gadgets has all the details.
This feature may not enabled for your Group. If it is disabled and you would like to enable it, please contact us at support-inquiry@directra.com. To see if it is enabled, hover your cursor over the Admin menu item. If you see Gadgets as a selection then the feature is enabled.
Tabs Makeover
We've made the tabs in the menu bar less crowded. To do this you'll see that we've added a More tab. Hover your cursor over this tab, then select from the choices that pop up. Admins will see that the Admin tab now pops up a menu with common actions available in a single click.
Coppa Compliance
With this build Directra now supports COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. This federal regulation is designed to protect children under the age of 13 from unscrupulous online marketers. To comply with COPPA Directra allows children under the age of 13 to log in and use Directra in a "view-only" mode. All information is available for the child to enjoy, but the child cannot enter any information. When the child becomes 13, Directra will detect this and the "view-only" status will be removed. See our Privacy and Legal Policy for full details on how we protect the information you provide using Directra.
