campusM 2020 Release Notes
Developments
Attendance – Timetable Data Refresh Improvements (Web App, iOS, Android)
January 2020
Following feedback from customers regarding the dynamic nature of timetable data particularly at the start of academic terms, it is now possible to configure an automatic refresh of the timetable data driving the attendance experience when opening the Attendance check-in page. This ensures that students have the latest version of the timetable each time they go to check in to their classes.
To enable this feature, select the Timetable Refresh option in the Attendance configuration page in App Manager. Note that students are able to see the update in progress and the last time that the update occurred on the check-in page.
App Builder – Added New Device Form Factors for Samsung S10 and iPhone XR (SF 00728493) (App Manager)
January 2020
We added the Samsung S10 and iPhone XR form factors to the App Builder Preview feature to allow you to get an accurate preview of what your apps will look like on these devices.
Security Enhancement – Token-based Authentication (iOS, Android, Web App)
February 2020
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the general security of campusM, we are implementing a new authentication pattern for our customers who have yet to implement token-based authentication for campusM. By adding an internal campusM Authentication Token we prevent a broad range of attack vectors, which requires no configuration changes from the customer side while being transparent to end users.
We are implementing this first in the Preview Environment for the February 2020 release and will not migrate this to a live environment until the March 2020 release to give you plenty of time to test the impact on your own environment.
App Manager – Help and Support Menu (App Manager)
February 2020
To provide more direct access to key support and informational resources when using App Manager, we have introduced a Help and Support menu always available in the top right side of the App Manager. This provides access to:
- App Manager documentation
- Salesforce to open support tickets
- campusM release schedule
- campusM release notes
In addition, we have introduced a number of links to relevant online documentation for specific pages, for example, Attendance. This is indicated by a new Help for This Page link:
campusM Portal – Collapsible Left Sidebar Navigation (SF: 00712820, 00718180) (Web App)
February 2020
Building on the success of the campusM Portal View, we have added the ability for customers to enable their end-users to collapse the left side navigation bar to provide more screen space for pages. This also results in the left sidebar collapsing automatically on mobile browsers.
To enable this feature, customers need to enable the Collapsible Sidebar property in the Portal Configuration panel in the App Builder:
Product Integrations (Web App, iOS, Android)
March 2020
We are excited to release our first batch of Product Integrations (PIs). Product Integrations allow you to configure integrations with key university system using campusM App Manager, with no extra cost or need to involve the campusM development team. Product Integrations are part of the monthly release and therefore will be continually maintained and improved with the product, including enhancements, bug fixes, and quality assurance checks. Additionally, Product Integrations offer specific flexible configurations for each product integration that allows you to decide on a specific look and feel and integration behaviors.
New Product Integrations will continue to be delivered, including integrations around student ID and resource booking over the coming release.
The following Product Integrations are available for you to configure as part of the March 2020 release:
| Product Integration Type | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Events Planner | Events | This product integration is intended to be used as an event planner, where the user can see the schedule of multiple events on different dates at different campuses and create a personalized list of events to attend. A common use would be for a university open-house for prospective students, for example. |
| Outlook 365 | This product integration integrates campusM with Microsoft Outlook 365 and allows users to manage their email accounts directly from campusM. | |
| Moodle | VLE/LMS | This product integration integrates with the university Moodle system and displays student course and related information. |
| Primo VE | Library | This product integration integrates with the Primo VE discovery tool, which provides access to all of the resources in your fulfillment network. |
| Laundry | This product integration integrates with the campus laundry service and allows users to monitor laundry service availability. | |
| Roles | Roles | campusM Roles integration allows the customer to have RoleSync functionality without needing a connect layer. |
| Timetable | Timetable | campusM Timetable allows students, lecturers, and other users of the app to view their schedule or list of calendar events for the day, week, month, and year through the app using their mobile devices or PCs. |
| Grades | Grades | The Grades Product Integration allows campusM to list a user's grades per course and per term. |
| Print Credits | Print Credits | Print credits allows users to manage their printing activities. |
| Retrieve Attendees | Attendees | Retrieve Attendees allows lecturers to get a list of students who attend a specific event. |
See the dedicated Product Integrations page for further information on Product integrations including prerequisites and detailed instructions on how they are configured and deployed.
Biometric Identification – Activation and Timeout Configuration (iOS, Android)
March 2020
You can now configure campusM to allow users to sign in with biometric identification, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition. You can also set a timeout period (in seconds) for which an identification remains valid. After this time, the user is required to be identified again.
This is configured from the General Settings pane in App Manager > App Settings > Biometric Identification.
Attendance – Enhanced Feedback for Crowdsource Validation (API)
March 2020
We added additional validation feedback in the validationText field in the checkInReport API when attempting to capture a visible Bluetooth beacon. For example: Location permissions or Bluetooth not granted to enable beacon capture and No iBeacons captured by the user’s device.
xCode 11 Upgrade (iOS)
March 2020
We continue to update the build process to accommodate the latest Software Development Kit (SDK) available from Apple to improve app stability and enable the latest feature sets within our apps. All apps will now be built with Xcode 11.
campusM Attendance - checkInReport API Enhancement
March 2020
To provide enhanced feedback on check-in transactions when using geolocation and/or crowdsource validation, the following additional fields were added to the API response:
geoDistance |
xsd:string |
The distance in meters of the recorded device location from the known position location |
validBeacons |
xsd:string |
Comma separated array of beacon IDs (concatenation of UUID, major and minor) of valid beacons captured by the users device for the check-in |
invalidBeacons |
xsd:string |
Comma separated array of beacon IDs (concatenation of UUID, major and minor) of invalid beacons captured by the users device for the check-in |

Security Enhancement – Token-based Authentication (iOS, Android, Web App)
April 2020
Product Integration – Resource Booking (Web App, iOS, Android)
April 2020
Product Integration – ID Card (Web App, iOS, Android)
April 2020
Security Enhancement – Token-Based Authentication (iOS, Android, Web App)
May 2020
As noted in the February 2020 release, we are implementing a new authentication pattern for our customers who have yet to migrate to token-based authentication for campusM. By adding an internal campusM authentication token we prevent a broad range of attack vectors. This requires no configuration changes from the customer side while being transparent to end users.
As part of the next stage of the rollout of this important security feature (which is key prerequisite for product integrations), we updated all Sandbox Apps to use this approach as part of the release completed on March 2, 2020.
Following your initial feedback, we have delayed the rollout of this to production and will be adopting a more controlled, gradual mechanism. This will be managed through Salesforce directly with individual customers. In the meantime, if you are trying the product integrations and facing any issues, contact us through Salesforce, and we will work with you to resolve them.
Automatic Whitelisting for Microsoft Teams App and Zoom App from campusM
May 2020
In response to the current COVID-19 situation and the use of video conferencing apps to facilitate social distancing and distance learning, we have whitelisted both Microsoft Teams and Zoom applications so that these can be deep linked to directly from the app.
To link to these apps, create a basic menu option and use the following Action URLs:
- For Microsoft Teams:
campusm://launchapp?app_name=Teams&ios_app_url=msteams%3A%2F%2F&android_app_url=msteams%3A%2F%2F&ios_store_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fapp%2Fmicrosoft-teams%2Fid1113153706&android_store_url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.microsoft.teams%26hl%3Den_GB&prompt=Y
- For Zoom:
campusm://launchapp?app_name=Zoom&ios_app_url=zoomus%3A%2F%2F&android_app_url=zoomus%3A%2F%2F&ios_store_url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fzoom-cloud-meetings%2Fid546505307&android_store_url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dus.zoom.videomeetings%26hl%3Den_GB&prompt=Y

campusM Attendance – Enforcing Multifactor Validation Technologies (iOS, Android)
May 2020
Following feedback from customers, we modified the enforcement behavior when selecting both Crowdsource and Geolocation as validation mechanisms. Previously, on iOS and Android apps, if students enabled one of the supporting technologies (Bluetooth and GPS respectively) they could complete their check-in. This modification means that students needsto enable both technologies when the customer selected both Crowdsource and Geolocation as validation mechanisms.
To support this enforcement change, we improved the message when Bluetooth is not enabled to align it with the message when GPS is not enabled.
Security Enhancement – Token-Based Authentication (iOS, Android, Web App)
June 2020
As noted in the February 2020 release notes, we are implementing a new authentication pattern for our customers who have yet to migrate to token-based authentication for campusM. By adding an internal campusM Authentication Token we prevent a broad range of attack vectors, which requires no configuration changes from the customer side while being transparent to end users.
So far this was enabled on your Sandbox and Preview apps for testing and review to identify any impact that may arise from this migration. Following feedback over the past three months, we improved and enhanced the infrastructure to support some of issues we found with customer setups.
If you identify any issues, open a Salesforce case. We always have the option to delay this migration for specific customers if issues are raised that we cannot resolve before the June 7, 2020.
In the meantime, if you are trying the Product Integrations and facing any issue, contact us through Salesforce, and we will work with you to resolve them.

As with other aspects of campusM Attendance, the labeling and colors can be modified. (Note that the color of the check-in progress bar is defined by the Check-in History colors).
campusM Attendance – Additional Validation Mechanism – IP Address Validation
June 2020
Following feedback from customers, we have added an additional validation mechanism – IP Address Validation. This validation mechanism captures students' device IP addresses at the time of their check in and then validates whether these IP addresses fall within a customer-defined range. Only if the IP addresses are within the defined range is the check-in considered valid.
The customer can define a number of individual or ranges of IP addresses within the Attendance configuration.
Note that when combined with one or more of the other available validation mechanism (Geolocation and Crowdsource), the overall check-in status of the student is considered valid if just one of the selected mechanisms returns a valid outcome.

This allow you to provide a more engaging tile without the need for a Web service.
We also added the ability to define the text and image alignment on the tile:
Remove link out configuration from Greeting and Weather Product Integrations Following on from last months enhancement for Product Integrations that are Live Tile only, where we enabled you to add an Action URL through the App Builder, similar to all other standard tiles, we have now removed the Link out Configuration from the Product Integration configuration pages.
Date Filter Removed from the Event Product Integration if All Events Occur on the Same Date
Following feedback from customers, we enhanced the end user experience by removing the date filter when browsing the list of available event if all events occur on the same date.

campusM Quick Polls (iOS, Android, Web App)
August 2020
Coming to your Preview Environment on the week of July 13, 2020, we are excited to announce our campusM Quick Polls applet that allows you to create short, single question, multiple choice polls to distribute to your users to answer. This first release enables you to:
- Create and manage your Quick Polls with multiple choice responses
- Provide response text on a poll-by-poll basis or by individual response basis
- Distribute to students based on their roles
- Send users a notification to alert them to a new available Quick Poll
- View the aggregated results in App Manager
- Download individual results through a secure API
- Deployable menu option to enable users to access their open Quick Polls and a history of their responses to answers from previous Quick Polls
campusM Quick Polls was developed as a direct result of the feedback customers gave us about being able to understand student sentiment during the current pandemic, as students adjust to the new restrictions and procedures. This applet can also be used to identify students who have self-identified that they have COVID19 symptoms and are self-isolating as part of an institution's tracing strategy.
The Quick Poll release for August 2020 is phase 1 of this development. Phase 2, scheduled for September 2020, will add the ability to schedule multiple instances of the same poll, so you can ask the same question on a regular basis to determine changes in sentiment, for example. We will also add the ability to link out to an internal or external URL following a response and/or change the users roles based on their response. We anticipate that these changes will add significant enhancements that will broaden usage significantly.
Open Quick Polls and walkthrough for responding to a question and the supporting customizable response text:
View historic responses to previous Quick Polls and access support information through the Quick Polls interface:
We will release dedicated documentation on the use and deployment of Quick Polls when it is released to the Preview Environment.
Quick Polls Known Issues

For further information on the Resource Booking product integration including user experience, configuration, and prerequisite details, see Resource Booking.
campusM Attendance – Enhancement to Check-in Report API
August 2020
The new fetchBy optional parameter was added for the Attendance product integration Check-in Report API to identify if the startDate and endDate parameters passed in the request refer to the start and end date/time of the check-in transactions saved to the cloud rather than the event start and end range. This makes it easier to retrieve all check-in records through the API gateway when extracting data on a regular basis and include offline check-ins that may have been logged outside of the session time range. For more information, see the Developer's Network.
Android Platform and API Level Update (Android App)
August 2020
The campusM Android native app was updated to support the latest Android platform and API level (Android10, API Level 29) as part of our ongoing commitment to maintain the campusM platform and ensure that the best experience, stability, and resiliency is provided to end-users.
campusM Quick Polls Enhancements
September 2020
Following a successful release of phase 1 of the Quick Polls product feature, we enhanced this feature further with several key additions:
- Display a summary of the results distribution to end users after submission of their response.
We added the ability to show a graphical representation of the aggregated results for a Quick Poll to end users after they submit their response. The end user can then view previous responses and select Show Quick Poll Results to view how the aggregate responses changed over time.
- Add an App Role to a user based on their selected response.
We added the ability to add an App Role to users based on their response to a Quick Poll question. When configuring the Quick Poll Answers, you can select Add roles based on this answer and then select the App Role to apply when the user selects this specific answer.
- Define a Daily/Weekly recurrence pattern for a Quick Poll.
We added the ability to define how often a specific Quick Poll question is presented to end users to complete. This can be every day or specific days during the week.
To enable a Quick Poll recurrence, select Enable re-occurrence. The options available to define the pattern appear. The current recurrence pattern is restricted to weekly. Using the daily check boxes, you can define which days of the week the Quick Poll is refreshed and reset for your users. You can define a time period within which the Quick Polls are available for a user to respond, along with a start date and end date that defines when the Quick Poll are active.
After you define a pattern and the Quick Poll is active, you can see the results for each Quick Poll occurrence by selecting View Occurrences on the Quick Poll homepage. From here you can view the polling occurrences and view the results.
- Enhancement to the Date and Time Picker within the Quick Polls administration pages.
We enhanced the Date and Time picker for the Quick Polls administration page to make them more accessible to a wider range of users and browsers.
- Extending the Quick Poll question text to 500 Characters. HOTFIXED TO AUGUST 2020
