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:

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.

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.
Product Integration Changes and Enhancements
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.

Greetings – User Experience Enhancements

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.

General PI – New Test API Connection Button for Product Integration Configuration

- Account Information
- Greeting
Product Feature Changes and Enhancements – Quick Polls
We enabled the ability to use Quick Polls in registered user access profiles in addition to authenticated profiles. This enables you to use Polls in Prospective or alumni profiles, for example.
