New Othot Platform User Experience

Behind the scenes, we are working on an overhaul of the Othot application to improve the user experience. We have completed a comprehensive set of user studies and built out the scaffolding for the new application. Over the next few releases, we will continue to build out the new workflows, and continue to iterate with feedback, to ensure they meet user needs and improve their experience using Othot.

The redesign includes improvements to the analyze functionality, with a streamlined report framework that enables users to easily navigate through simulations and prescriptions. We’ve also streamlined our insights grid experience to make it easy to segment and view insights for a population of students in your model. Our redesign leverages Liaison’s new component library to ensure continuity with other Liaison products.

Likelihood Factor, Top Impacts, and Deciles Now Available for Additional Predictions

For customers who have additional predictions enabled, we now offer the ability to see likelihood factor, top impacts, and deciles for each additional prediction. This allows users to better analyze a student’s additional prediction relative to each lifecycle phase, and to understand the causal factors that are driving the prediction.

Please note that this feature is not enabled by default for every customer but can be enabled upon request. If you would like to have this feature enabled, please talk to your Client Success Director.

New Data Dictionary Section on the Admin Page

We’ve added a new link to the Data Dictionary on the admin page, making it easier to access and find for our users. The dictionary is also still accessible on the model page.
