campus URL Schema — Location Categories
January 2023
We added a parameter to the campusm://uniloc? to enable linking to a location category for a map. The URL format must be:
campusm:/campus?mapCode=<MAPCODE>;locCode=<LOCATIONCODE> where the Map Code and Location Code can be found in the URL when selecting the respective configuration in App Manager:
For more information on the campusM URL Schema, see Working with App URLs.
Events Product Integration — Homescreen Smart Tile
We are pleased to provide our first homescreen smart tile for the Events product integrations. Smart tiles form the basis of more dynamic homescreen components that bring the interface to life around the student.
The Events smart tile shows a view of the next upcoming event, to entice a user to explore further. Selecting the smart tile directs the user directly to the highlighted event, where they can view additional information. It can be configured to show the image associated with the event or just the description. Smart tiles can be used in conjunction with the Product Integration Tile.
To deploy the new Events smart tile, navigate to the App Builder and add a new Menu Option. Select Events Widget from the available menu option types to reveal a dropdown list of available event Product integration Instances to link the smart tile to. Provide a name for the smart tile and select Create to add to the homescreen preview. You can now configure the smart tile title and select if the image for the event should be shown on the face of the smart tile.
You can configure if the smart tile appears as a navigational link in the Side Bar in the same way as traditional menu options.
As this is our first smart tile, we want feedback to help shape these types of experiences going forward. Look out for more widgets throughout 2023.
For more information, see Events.
