Library Mobile 2025 Release Notes
Developments
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.
For more information, see Newsfeed.
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.)
For more information, see Configuring App Basics.
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.
For more information, see Working with the Notification Center.
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.
For more information, see Adding Maps and Locations to Services.
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.
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.
For more information, see Analytics Subject Areas.
Resolved Issues
- March 2025 Platform: Mobile SF: 07771340 07496112 07187353 CAM-25207
The message that appeared when a user entered incorrect credentials was misleading and ambiguous. This was fixed. - March 2025CAM-26601
In maps, the initial zoom for location categories and positions has been improved so that the area included in the map when it opens is more useful for users. When a location category is selected, the map shows all the positions that belong to the category. When a single position is selected, a larger area surrounding the position is shown. - March 2025 CAM-26463
A frame was incorrectly added to certain icons when they were selected. This was fixed. - March 2025 Platform: iOS SF: 07790071 07743027 CAM-26373
When a website containing a background video was opened from a link in the app, the video automatically began playing in full-screen mode. This was fixed. - March 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07173337 CAM-25205
When a web page was opened from the app, it was not possible to zoom in or out of the page. This was fixed. - March 2025 Platform: Mobile SF: 07764504 07764867 07765192 07772633 07772820 07837049 CAM-26302

When the user changed the profile in the app, the app continued to display the content for the previous profile. This was fixed. - February 2025 SF: 07729746 CAM-26217
Security upgrades were implemented in order to address a number of concerns that arose. - February 2025 SF: 07737479 CAM-26381
When using the Events Product Integration with JSON API, modifying the configuration of the Product Integration caused the app to display no events. This was fixed. - February 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07235492 CAM-25558
When users zoomed in on a map position, the maximum zoom was implemented immediately, hiding the surroundings of the position. This was fixed; the zoom is now implemented in stages. - February 2025 SF: 07681033 CAM-25964
Alerts sent to end-users about Quick Polls did not appear in the list of notifications in the Notification Center. This was fixed. - February 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07775311 07759769 CAM-26327
For customers who require a token for authentication in their attendance history endpoint, no indication of successful checking-in was shown to students after they checked in from the app. The Submit button remained visible even after the check-in was completed. This was fixed. - February 2025 Platform: React Native Android SF: 07774871 07269265 07259645 07168963 07101627 CAM-24662
When an end-user was viewing a sub-page of a page that they had opened by selecting a tile on the homepage, selecting the Back button brought them back to the homepage, rather than to the page from which they had opened the sub-page. This was fixed. - January 2025 Platform: iOS CAM-25954
Certain permission-related text lines were not translated into the interface language when it was set to a non-English language. This was fixed. - January 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07734946 07729416 CAM-26219

When users of screen readers navigated through certain pages, the headings were not identified by the reader. This was problematic for blind and visually impaired users, who could not tell which text was a heading rather than body text. The problem was fixed. - January 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07221266 CAM-25673
Actions linked to map positions were not functioning properly. For example, when a content page was linked to a position, the page did not open when the position was selected. This was fixed.
