Developments
AEK 2018 SDK Update - including React16
December 2018
As part of this month's release, we have updated the AEK SDK and are making it available to customers on request. This update allowed us to refresh and upgrade many of the core components of the SDK, adopting new standards and the latest stable versions of the supporting framework.
One of the new key areas that have been upgraded is the React version – from React 15 to React 16. This provides for a number of key enhancements including:
- Fragments
- Error Boundaries
- Portals
- Reduced File Size
- New Core Architecture (Fiber)
For more details, see https://reactjs.org/blog/2017/09/26/react-v16.0.html
We have also updated the following libraries to the latest. These include:
Babel - Updated from version 5 to 7
This will allow a user to use the latest code techniques as well as taking advantage of the ongoing file reducing brought in by Babel. You can see all the updates and new features in Babel 7 here https://babeljs.io/blog/2018/08/27/7.0.0
Eslint- Updated from version 1 to 5
This allows for a better linting structure. With this release, we are also adopting a new rule set to allow for cleaner code.
Webpack – Updated from version 1 to 4
This allows for tree shaking and for a better structure for how the code is packaged. We have removed certain steps but have also added in support for new loaders for files as well as scss files.
Lodash – Updated from version 3 to 4
This again allowed for tree shaking which will minimize package size as well as new functions from this library.
We are undertaking selective release of the updated AEK framework, with early adopters having the ability to create new projects with the new framework and access the new AEK documentation in NPM.
To request access to the new AEK: please submit a Salesforce Ticket.
Hidden by Default
December 2018
Building on the changes we made with personalization to mandate that particular menu options are always visible, we have added the ability to define a tile as "Hidden by default". This enables you to define tiles that are not essential to be discoverable within the Personalization list view. These tiles can also be discovered using the search facility within Personalization. This enables you to create an internal "App Store" within campusM, with services that a student can add that are pertinent to them. This is now available on the campusM iOS and Android app, as well as the Web app.
Automated Monthly Releases
November 2018
Our monthly release process has been in production for several months with more than 70% of the user community leveraging new features on a regular basis. As part of the October release, we have moved all existing customers, unless otherwise requested, to automated monthly releases for the campusM Web App (Portal), App Manager and Oracle Business Intelligence.
This is an important milestone in the maturation of campusM and will ensure that your app users will experience the latest available campusM experience with the latest delivered enhancements each month, as custom in multitenant SaaS-based applications.
Please note that the new Preview Environment allows you to preview the release a month before it is available in production, so you can review the enhancements ahead of time and choose which features to utilize and enable, all within an environment very similar to your Production Environment. Automated monthly releases only affect the campusM Web App (Portal), App Manager and Oracle Business Intelligence components. Native apps and changes to the campusM Connect Layer are still on request.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Monthly Releases, then please log these within Salesforce.
Personalized Notifications
November 2018
We have enabled the ability to substitute personalized text into the notifications you send out using the following three parameters in the body of the message:
| Parameter | Description | Anonymous User Text |
|---|---|---|
| {FIRSTNAME} | Users First Name | User |
| {LASTNAME} | Users Last Name | Name |
| {EMAIL} | Users Email Address |
These parameters work both within App Manager (as Individual or Group Notifications) or within the API (https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com...pis/SendAlerts). Note, if you send a message in a profile that has anonymous users, then they will receive the substitutions shown in the 3rd column in the table above.
Selective Menu Option Disablement
November 2018
We have added the ability to disable menu options for the native platforms – iOS and Android. If a Menu Option is disabled, it is not visible on the Homescreen and it cannot be searched and discovered on the defined platform. This is different from the hide option found using the Override properties in App Builder.
- Menu Option Configuration panel in App Builder
- Tile disabled tick box. Disables on all platforms
- Android Disable tick box. Disables tile only on Android devices
- iOS Disable tick box. Disabled tile only on iOS devices
Hidden by Default
November 2018
Building on the changes we made with personalization to mandate that particular menu options are always visible, we have added the ability to define a tile as ‘Hidden by default’. This enables you to define tiles that are not essential to be discoverable within the Personalization list view. These tiles can also be discovered using the search facility within Personalization. This enables you to create an internal ‘App Store’ within campusM, with services that a student can add that are pertinent to them. This is only available the Web App for the November release and will be introduced to the Native Apps in the December 2018 Release.
Automated Monthly Releases
October 2018
Our monthly release process has been in production for several months with more than 50% of the user community leveraging new features on a regular basis. As part of the October release, we are looking to move customers to automated monthly releases for the campusM Web App (Portal), App Manager and Oracle Business Intelligence, and we will be migrating customers to automated monthly releases for the October 2018 release.
This will provide you and your app users will experience the latest available campusM experience with the latest delivered enhancements each month, as custom in multitenant SaaS-based applications. Please note that the monthly releases are completed during the scheduled maintenance hours, but do not require any service downtime or any effort from you, the customer.
We already have a number of customers who are experiencing the benefits of automated monthly releases, and we are looking for customers to adopt this automated release approach as soon as possible. To this end, we are making available support resources for customers who have not upgraded their apps for some time, to support the transition to the personalization-enabled homescreen. If you would like to move to automated releases before October 2018, then please log a Salesforce Ticket with this request.
Please note that the new Preview Environment allows you to preview the release a month before it is available in production, so you can review the enhancements ahead of time and choose which features to utilize and enable, all within an environment very similar to your Production Environment. Automated monthly releases only affect the campusM Web App (Portal), App Manager and Oracle Business Intelligence components.Native apps and changes to the campusM Connect Layer are still on request.

Configuring Tile Heights and Widths in App Manager
October 2018
We have enabled the ability to control the minimum and maximum tile size within App Building using the addition of the following properties within the App Config Panel:
| Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Tile Size (min) | Minimum Tile size in pixels. A 1 x 1 tile will have will have a minimum height and width as defined by the property A 1 x 2 tile will have will have a minimum height and 2 x width as defined by the property |
95 |
| Tile Size (Max) |
Maximum Tile size unit in pixels. |
180 |
The Homescreen scaling and arrangement algorithm will operate within the boundaries set by the minimum and maximum tile size. The number of columns for the tile layout will therefore scale to meet the parameters defined. For complete control, define the minimum and maximum values as the same.
These properties can also be used within the Override properties. This would allow customers to modify the size of the tile based on the platform, device or screen resolution available. This allows a lot of flexibility of the homescreen experience.
Configuring the number of columns of tiles in App Manager
October 2018

| Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Columns (min) | Minimum number of columns to display tiles on the homescreen | 1 |
| Columns (max) | Maximum number of columns to display tiles on the homescreen | 5000 |
The Homescreen scaling and arrangement algorithm will operate within the boundaries set by the minimum and maximum number of columns. The size of the tiles will therefore be scaled to meet the parameters defined. For complete control, define the minimum and maximum values as the same.

Enabling Sounds for campusM Notifications
September 2018
We have enabled sounds to be played when a campusM notification is received on the native apps (iOS and Android). The ability to control volume and the sound played is determined by the end-user settings. As part of this development, the Notification Framework was updated to Firebase for Android - this update enables us to deliver many more exciting features in the near future and ensure campusM’s alignment with industry best practices.
Searchable User Lists Implemented Within Send Individual Notification
September 2018
To reduce the time taken to load a list of end-users to populate the Recipients Selection for large institutions, we have enabled a search facility that filters the recipient list according to the search term typed into the Search for available recipients box. After typing three or more characters, the available recipient selection box begins to filter the available end-users.
You can then select the chosen recipients in the usual way.
Android Platform and API Level Update
September 2018
The campusM Android Native app was updated to support the latest Android platform and API level (Oreo, API Level 27) as part of our ongoing commitment to maintain campusM platform and ensure the best experience, stability, and resiliency is provided to end-users.

App Builder: Tile Style Changes
July 2018
Previously, as part of the redevelopment of the campusM homescreen to enable personalization, certain tile style properties were changed or removed. New tile style properties were added to replace these legacy styles.
Minimum & Maximum Font Size
You can now set the minimum and maximum font size for a label to appear on a tile. This allows customer to define the look and feel of the tiles more rigidly, as the device screen size scales.
Text Align
You can now set the text alignment for a label on a tile. This can be set to Left, Center or Right hand justified.
Full Text Overlay
You can now define the shading overlay for labels as they appear over an image. This can be set to gradient overlay, which provides a fade from light to dark semi opaque overlay, providing improved visibility.
Release Candidates for campusM Native Apps
June 2018
As part the campusM Monthly releases, we are making the Release Candidate native apps available automatically through HockeyApp as part of the release package.
The Release Candidate is the currently available production release of campusM app, aligned with your Production Environment. This can be deployed to the App and Play stores as your Production App on your request.
The Release Candidate version format is: <version number>-RC-CAMPUSM-<release month>-<release year>-<build number> for example VERSION 6.0.5.1-RC-CAMPUSM-APRIL-2018 (13737).
Analytics Data Extract API
June 2018
As part of the campusM work to enhance analytics and insight, we are making available the Analytics Data Extract API that enables customers to extract row level details on student engagement in the app. For example, this data can be extracted and imported into local data warehouse set ups to undertake individual student engagement studies.
The following data is now available through the API:

campusM Preview Environment
May 2018
All customers now have access to their campusM Preview environment, in addition to their existing Production Environment and Sandbox (Test/Dev/Beta) Environment(s).
The Preview Environment provides a campusM experience that is as close as possible to customers’ Production Environment and is on the next month’s release code. This enables customers to accurately preview the forthcoming release before it is rolled out to their Production Environment.
The campusM Preview Environment is a clone of the Production Environment. A snapshot of your Production Environment is taken just before the release date and migrated to the Preview Environment. Each month the Preview Environment is upgraded, and the codebase updated to the next release as per the Release Schedule.
The Preview Environment shares the same campusM Connect Layer as the Production Environment, ensuring the experience is consistent between the apps. The Preview Environment is issued each month with a HockeyApp deployment of the Native app and a new instance of the Web App. The Preview Environment also has a new instance of App Manager that reflects the next release.
The Preview Environment continues to run one release ahead of the Production and Sandbox Environments. As each release is made, the snapshot is retaken, and the codebase advanced to the next release version.
Further information about the campusM Preview Environment can be found here.

Enabling Google Maps within the campusM iOS App
February 2018
Given the differing levels of detail and functionality available within Google and Apple maps depending on geographical location, we have enabled the Google Maps SDK within the campusM iOS App, allowing institutions or end-users to select their preferred mapping technology.
Institutions can choose which mapping technology is used by the iOS app, selecting either Apple or Google Maps. By default, this is set as Apple Maps, but customers can configure this directly within the app manager at a profile level. The configuration can be found within: App Settings > App Profiles > Change App Profile:
You must publish the changes from the App Manager to become effective.
End-users have the ability to override the default within the settings on their campusM App (see below).
Following established practice, we have enabled campusM end-users to select their preferred mapping technology (Apple or Google Maps) within the setting of the campusM app:
Enabled Location-Sensitive Map lists in the campusM iOS and Android apps
February 2018
With many institutions having multiple campuses, both nationally and internationally, we have made the campus Map lists location sensitive, with the map corresponding to an end-user’s current location shown first, and subsequent maps defined by the sort order within campusM App Manager.
Enabled Location-Sensitive Map lists in the campusM Web app
February 2018
With many institutions having multiple campus, both nationally and internationally, we have enabled end-users to be able to pick up their current location within the browser and show the map associated with their current position.
Enabled end-users to define their own default campus map within the campusM iOS and Android apps
February 2018
End-users have the ability to identify a particular campus map as their default map, if more than one map is presented in campusM. This orders the selected campus map at the top of the map list, regardless of the end-user’s actual geographical location or any sort order set within App Manager:
Modified the default Position marker to be consistent between campusM iOS and Android apps
February 2018
The default position marker for positions within the campus maps were changed and made consistent between campusM iOS and Android apps.
Modified the Show Location marker to be consistent between campusM iOS and Android apps
