Floor Plans

March 2025CAM-26566

Updated 26 February 2025

You can now create a map from an image file. If you then link the map to a position, end-users can see the map in the app when they select the position. This can be useful, for example, for providing floor plans of the interiors of buildings, or a custom campus map. The image is displayed in the bottom drawer, in the new Floor Plan tab, and the position it is linked to is marked on the image. In mobile apps under React Native, the image is displayed in the bottom drawer, in the Floor Plan tab, and the position to which it is linked is marked on the image. In the web app, the image is displayed in the Maps tab.

Product Integration - Newsfeed

March 2025CAM-26384

A new product integration has been introduced into Library Mobile: a Newsfeed service. This feature allows you to add one or more feeds, either as RSS feeds or API endpoints, to a Newsfeed page. Users can access this page from a tile on the homepage. The main page of the Newsfeed UI displays the headlines of the items, which it receives from the linked feeds. Users can select these items to view their full content. This feature can be used, for example, to incorporate headlines from two feeds, one an RSS feed of breaking stories from a general news agency, and the other an internal news feed from your organization, supplied via an API endpoint and introducing new developments on campus.

Multiple feeds can be included in a single Newsfeed, and the feeds can be filtered by the end-user to limit the display to selected feeds. Feeds are updated automatically every five minutes, so they are always kept up to date. End users can also choose to view feed items from preceding days, to save favorites, and to search for items whose titles and authors' names contain a specified string of text.

Login - Logo Displayed on Select a Profile Page

March 2025CAM-XXXXX

React Native now supports the display of the institution's logo on the Select a Profile page. If a logo is selected in the Change app device icons page (App Settings > App Settings > Web App Icons), this logo is displayed in the Select a Profile page, followed by the Welcome message configured in Change general settings page (App Settings > App Settings > General Settings). (If no logo is selected, it is replaced in the Select a Profile page with the text, "Welcome to [app name]." "Welcome to" in this message is translatable.)

Notification Center - Advanced Role Notification

March 2025CAM-25605

A new option has been added to the Send Advanced-role Notification page: Under Select your operator, the Only option has been added. Select this option if you only want to send the notification to users with the role selected under First Role. This modification does not add any new functionality to the feature. It was adopted after internal testing showed that it improved performance.

Maps - PC Availability Information

February 2025CAM-25893

React Native now supports the display of PC-availability information in maps. This feature can be used by institutions that provide PCs for students to use, for example, in libraries or laboratory environments. If your institution offers this type of service to students, and your system keeps track of which PCs are in use at any given time and which are available for students to use, you can provide this information in campusM maps. To do this, your system must have a server that can provide information about PC availability at specific positions whenever it is requested.

PC-availability information can be included in maps by attaching it to a special location category. When the end-user selects this location category in a map, a list of relevant locations opens at the bottom of the map. The list includes information about the total number of PCs found at each relevant site and the number of these PCs currently available for use.

Analytics - Analysis of Page Views by User Role

February 2025 Idea Exchange CAM-26520

Two new subject areas have been added to Analytics:

Home Page by Roles
Pages by Roles

These new subject areas enable you to break down data about tile and page selection by user roles. For example, from the Home Page by Roles subject area, you can create a report that shows how many users with specific roles selected each tile in the homepage. This can indicate which tiles are most useful to users of different types. Based on this information, you might decide to move certain popular tiles to the top of the homepage for specific types of users, or remove certain tiles that are never used by specific types of users from the homepage entirely.

Page Views per Role Analysis

Two out-of-the-box (OTB) reports built on these subject areas are also now available:

Home Page by Role OTB
Pages by Role OTB

These reports can be used to quickly create reports of tile- and page-use per user role.
