App Builder - Alerts and Maps Tiles

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.

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.

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.

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.
