Updated CPE Portal & Annual requirements

[netzwerg]

I just jumped on the portal to submit some CPE requests for podcasts.  It appears that the portal has a glitch that doesn't recognise that means it doesn't remove the 250-500 word "book review" requirement for the podcasts, which makes it quite painful to submit the request.  I have also found that if you are too close to either end (250 or 500), it glitches and tells you you haven't reached the 250-500 word limit.

It looks like the new CPE portal is still struggling to meet the operational requirements for the members. Some of my CPE credit submissions have no responses after 3-4 weeks, and I have no way to check if they are 'pending', 'auditing', or whatever. 

There is no auto response after submission, and there is no way to check the status. And since there is no sorting function on the approved CPE in either 'View' or 'Active Transcripts', one does not know easily and clearly which submission has been approved, thus has no idea which one should be resubmitted.

The loading is too slow, takes 10-15 seconds to reload, witch is every time you do to the page.

UX/UI design is NOT well thought out, often leaves one wonder which options to choose, For example, you have "Education Courses and Seminars" and "Online webinars, podcasts and other online materials", but the former is for attending webinar ( or is it since webinar is not mentioned? ), and the latter is for creating seminar/webinar materials. There are many other non-user-friendly UIs

Should we roll back to the old system?!

ISC2 leadership team need to seriously investigate the composition of present team working on the ISC2 portal. In the name of enhancement it seems they handed the development of the portal over to a team of inexperienced people who completely messed it up.

I am in the same boat. Submitted some CPE no clue what will happen to those. Attended some e-Symposium seminars for which there is no tracking.

Now I think people will be in a dilemma whether we should spend any time earning the credit until the issue is completely resolved.

I use to be PM for applications development, and know the challenges of such project. But one thing I would never do is to forklift the implementation without adequate testing, and this seems to be what have happened here. 

The architecture is another problem here - the DB integration with mid-tier is not well designed, thus the slow loading issue. The non-existing auto-acknowledging is another missed design, along with the lack of visibility by users into the status. Sorting can be relatively easy to remedy, but definitely needed. Th CPE 'view' display is badly designed IMHO, not very useful.

The UX needs to be seriously reconfigured, it is very confusing, and the option button descriptions need to be reviewed.

Trying to enter CPEs.  Is it just me?  Very frustrated with this new "improved" process.

I also am very frustrated.  I get loading...   loading....  loading...  forever.

I do NOT like this new system.  It functions poorly and is not even slightly customer friendly.

I have the same issue now for three weeks in a row. I reported it to member support and they tell me it seems to hit a number of people. They expect some answer/resolution by the end of the month.

There are more issues with the CPE portal, all combined into one item:

Thanks all.  I've submitted tickets.  Meanwhile I'm queuing up all my CPE entries until they get this mess cleaned up.
