Library Mobile 2024 Release Notes
Developments
Server-Side Event Notifications No Longer Supported
September 2024CAM-25436
Now that end-users can configure their own activity reminders as they see fit (Settings > Notifications > Calendar Reminders), the option for admins to configure server-side notifications in the settings of the Events PI is no longer supported. (The settings will be removed from the App Manager in the October 2024 release.) This ensures that end-users will not receive reminders for the same event from both the activity-reminder system that they configure themselves and the event-notification system that could have been configured by admins.
For more information about the Events PI, see Events.
Notifications - Search All History
August 2024CAM-24555
You can now search for notifications that were sent more than 30 days ago. The Date field in the Notification Center now allows you to select any date in the past in order to find notifications that were sent on that day.
For more information, see Sending Notifications to End-Users from Notification Center.
App Builder - Alerts and Maps Tiles
August 2024CAM-17870
Two new types of tiles can now be added by admins to the end-user apps:
- Alerts
- Maps
Previously, these types of tiles could only be added by Ex Libris customer support.
For information about creating new tiles for the end-user app, see Creating Services.
Feeds Tile - Icon Position Configuration
July 2024CAM-20437
A new field has been added to the configuration of a feed in a Feeds tile, Icon Position. The new field allows you to choose from six possible positions of an icon when one is superimposed on the tile (e.g., the logo of the provider of the RSS feed): top left, top center, top right, bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right.
For additional information about adding and configuring tiles in the App Builder, see Configuring Services.
Accessibility - Improved Page Headings
July 2024CAM-24779
As part of our continuing efforts to optimize the accessibility of our applications, page headings have been added to a number of pages in which they were not previously displayed.
Notifications - Specify Recipients Based on Their Roles
June 2024 CAM-24442
You can now configure notifications to be sent to users based on their roles. This powerful enhancement even enables you to define groups of recipients based on two roles, using logical operators to define the relationship between them. For example, you can define a list of recipients that includes all users who are both first-year students and physics majors.
For more information, see Sending Notifications to End-Users from Notification Center.
API - REST API for Account Information
June 2024CAM-24563
A REST API is now available for retrieving user-account information from the database.
Product Integration - Support for New Leganto UI
May 2024CAM-XXXXX
The new Leganto UI is now supported by Library Mobile. In organizations in which Leganto is deployed with its new UI, the Leganto product integration opens in Library Mobile in the new UI.
April 2024CAM-23003
Events can now be imported via REST API in JSON format. This can be configured in the App Manager, in the Product Integrations module, in the settings of the Events Instance, under JSON Events.
Although JSON supports nested objects, only top-level attributes can currently be imported.
For more information, see Events.
Map Display Enhancements in Position Pages
April 2024CAM-24061, CAM-24015
React Native Platform
In React Native versions of the app, the following enhancements have been implemented in the map displays in Position pages:
- An About tab has been added to the page, and is the default tab that opens when the end-user selects a position in the app. When this tab is open, only the location of that position is marked on the map, in order to reduce clutter. By default, the name of the position is displayed in the About tab. However, if the Note field of the position contains text, this text is displayed in the About tab, rather than the name of the position. All marked locations continue to appear in the map when the Around Here tab is selected.
- Actions that appear in Actions tabs can have icons identifying their types.

You can now edit scheduled notifications that have not yet been sent. To do so, in the Notifications Dashboard (Notifications), under Date, select All future notifications to open a list of scheduled notifications, and then select the notification you want to edit. For more information, see Sending Notifications to End-Users from Notification Center.
App Builder - Configurable Location for Banner Controls
January 2024CAM-23084
It is now possible to configure where the User Controls of banner tiles are placed - at the top or the bottom of the image. When a Play/Pause control is also included in the banner, it is placed in the alternate location. For additional information, see Configuring Services.
