Canvas Learning Management System/Virtual Learning Environment Product Integration

The Canvas product integration provides a grid-style live tile that aggregates a student's Canvas modules on the app homepage.

The live tile aggregates a number of different types of Canvas information into simple widgets for the user to read at a glance. These include:

• Number of enrolled (active) courses
• Number of unread conversations (Inbox)
• Assignments count
• Grades count
• Calendar events count
• Announcements count
• Discussions count
• Next assignment due (if any)

The live tile also provides deep links to the Canvas Courses app (native only). Web links to the client's Canvas site from the Web app. Selecting Inbox links to Canvas Inbox, selecting Grades links to Canvas Grades, and selecting the rest of the live tile components links to Canvas Courses.

D2L (Desire to Learn) Learning Management System/Virtual Learning Environment Product Integration

The D2L Brightspace product integration provides a live tile that provides information about a student's D2L Brightspace modules on the app homepage.

Attendance Transaction Viewer

The Attendance Transaction Viewer product integration allows you to query and view check-in transitions made on your environment. This can be used to help troubleshoot student queries and support user testing for campusM Attendance deployments.

Note that this does display all transaction fields captured by campusM Attendance and should therefore only be deployed to users with the relevant roles to aid with troubleshooting and administration.

For further information on the Attendance Transaction Viewer product integration, including user experience and configuration, see Attendance Transaction Viewer.

Contact Tracing – User and Admin Experience Enhancements

Based on feedback from customers, we made a number of changes to enhance the user and admin experience for the Contact Tracing product integration. These include:

• Display a configurable message on the disabled Scan button when accessing using the Web App to indicate that the user needs to use the mobile app.
• Added a History label above the initial list of check-ins on the Scan tab.
• Clarified the field labelling on the product integration configuration page to indicate that it is the number of records rather than number of days to show initially on load.
• Provided a visual indicator that results are loading when using the history tab search.
• Added the checked in user’s email address to the Get Contact Tracing Results API.

For further information on the Contact Tracing product integration, including user experience and configuration details, see Contact Tracing.

Timetable – Additional Vendor Support - Celcat

We added the Celcat vendor to the Timetable product integration. This allows customers who are using Celcat as their timetabling system and have the Celcat Web API available to display user’s timetables through the Timetable product integration.

For further information on the Timetable product integration, including user experience and configuration details, see Timetable.

Greetings – User Experience Enhancements

Based on feedback from customers, we made a number of changes to enhance the user experience for the Greetings product integration. These include:

Directory Search – Selectable Contact Filter

Following feedback from customers, we enabled the ability to provide a contact filter that can be defined against a field returned by Azure Active Directory when using the Directory Search product integration. This enables customers to remove deactivated accounts from the Directory Search, for example.

Grades (Banner XE) – Selectable Final Grades Field

We enabled the ability to select which Banner XE feed attribute is used for the Final Grade field (gradeInAcadHistory or gradeFinal) in the Grade product integration.
