    Developments

    Social Media Login – LinkedIn Support

    December 2022

    Following the addition of the ability for customers to configure social media login through Google and Facebook, we added support for LinkedIn as a configurable mechanism. This creates a reliable and secure method for users who are not yet known to the institutional authentication system (IDP) - for example, prospective students or alumni – to log in to the app.

    The LinkedIn authentication can be configured within the Integration profile, selecting OAuth and sub-selecting the LinkedIn vendor.

    Once configured, the user can select LinkedIn to sign in to the app. They are redirected to the LinkedIn platform to authenticate and then redirected back to the app. Their user is then created, with the email linked to the chosen social media account used as their primary identifier within campusM.

    The Social Media Login configuration screen.

    Note that customers can extract a list of registered users from App Manager > App Settings > Registered Users.

    For more information, see Managing Token Based Authentication.

    Display Header Icons in the Web App

    December 2022

    We removed several key links from the App Settings menu on the web app header to improve accessibility and speed up access.

    Customers can add and enable the Always Show Header Icons property for either the App or Profile Config in App builder to display the Feedback, Share, Search, and Arrange icons in the web app header:

    The display Header Icons configuration screen.

    Android App Accessibility – Talkback Enhancements [ANDROID APP]

    December 2022

    As part of our continued commitment to improving our app accessibility for all users, we made several enhancements to the Android app for how headers are recognized and read by the Android OS Talkback facility. This encompasses a wide range of screens and functions within the Android app.

    See our accessibility statement: Accessibility Statement.

    Greeting Live Tile Product Integration – Use of Token Attribute for Name

    December 2022

    We enabled the ability to map the Name displayed on the tile to a token attribute, providing additional flexibility to the dynamic data displayed on the homescreen:

    The Greeting configuration screen.

    For more information, see Greeting.

    Moodle Product Integration – Additional Screens for Events, Messages, and Assignment Views

    December 2022

    As part of our continued commitment to enhancing product integrations that support student studies, we added several new screens to expand our Moodle product integration. This includes displaying the following information within our integration:

    The Events configuration screen.

    Events

    The Messages configuration screen.

    Messages

    The Assignments configuration screen.

    Assignments

    For more information, see Moodle.

    Moodle Product Integration – Live Tile Links

    December 2022 SF: 05332535

    As an enhancement to the new screens implemented for Moodle (see above), we ensured that the Live Tile now links to the relevant screens when selecting the appropriate areas of the live tile.

    The Moodle live tile.

    For more information, see Moodle.

    Moodle Product Integration – Configurable Link-out Behavior HOTFIX FOR NOVEMBER 2022

    December 2022 SF: 05309518 06333257

    We added support for the Moodle product integration configuration of link outs behavior. This gives customers the ability to define whether links open externally or internally (in App browser). In addition, we allow customers to separately define how the Links view behaves, as this is traditionally used for third-party links and requires separate treatment.

    Moodle Links

    For more information, see Moodle.

    My Advisor Product Integration – Support for RESTful API Vendor HOTFIX FOR NOVEMBER 2022

    December 2022

    We added support for the RESTful API vendor to populate the integration with dynamic data, in addition to the existing Colleague and PeopleSoft vendor support.

    The My Advisor configuration screen.

    For more information, see My Advisor.

    Bulk App Role Subscription Using Excel File Import and Export

    November 2022

    We created the ability to bulk-add App role subscriptions through the import of a simple CSV file containing the target user's email address. This enables large App role applications for end users without the need for RoleSync, enabling group management on a more manual basis.

    To access the export and import process for a role, select Import/Export Person Roles button in the row for the App role of choice:

    The option to export App roles.

    To export the current list of user emails with the selected App role and provide a template file for the upload, select Export:

    The Export button.

    This downloads a simple Excel sheet where column one contains the email address for users who have the role. If no email address is shown, no user has the applied role.

    To add users to an App role, download the export template and populate the first column with the email addresses of the users you want to apply the App role against. Save the file and then browse and select this file using the Choose file option. Select Submit to import the file.

    The submit button.

    This appends the list of users to the App role and does not overwrite the list of users.

    The interface provides feedback on any users not imported (as they do not yet exist as a user in campusM) or issues with the import file itself.

    Watch our essential training video on App Profiles and Roles.

    Feed Tile Clicks Added to Insight Analytics (HOTFIX FOR OCTOBER 2022)

    November 2022 SF: 06308015 06309643

    The Insight capture data now includes clicks for deployed Feed Tiles. The clicks are aggregated against the title of the feed item that the user clicks. This enables customers to track interest in their social/dynamic news feeds shown on the homescreen.

    For more information on Insight Analytics, watch campusM Analytics.

    Create New User API

    November 2022

    We added a new API that enables the creation of campusM users BEFORE they have been authenticated into campusM. This enables you to manage their roles before they have entered the system. The same API also identifies if a user already exists by providing an error message identifying the user already exists.

    For most user cases, this API is not required since campusM users are created as needed when a new user authenticates into the app, pulling the required personal details from the Identity management provider.

    Primo VE Library Product Integration – Hide Header Title and Navigation (HOTFIX FOR OCTOBER 2022)

    November 2022

    We added the ability to hide the header which contains the Page Title and the navigation icons on My Library Card, Favorites, and the Search History.

    Primo header title configuration.

    For more information, see Primo VE.

    Moodle Product Integration – Category Whitelisting/Filtering

    November 2022

    We provided additional functionality around the course categories, enabling the ability to whitelist and filter by category names. This enables specific categories to be hidden from the end user. For example, you can use these categories to only whitelist the current active courses, and therefore hide old courses no longer of interest.

    To selectively show course categories, in the Moodle product integration Service Content section, check Enable Categories Whitelisting and add the Category Name for the categories to show. You can add more than one by selecting Add Item.

    The category name configuration.

    For more information, see Moodle.

    Events Product Integration – Increased Character Limit for Event Descriptions

    November 2022

    We increased the character limit for the description field for each event from 256 to 800, to account for longer narratives.

    For more information, see Events.

    Personal Details Product Integration – Peoplesoft Vendor Support

    November 2022

    We added support for PeopleSoft for our Personal Details product integration. This enables a range of data fields to be configured and shown within the Personal Details screen.

    The personal details screen.

    For more information, see Personal Details.

    Google Play Developer Program Policy Update (ANDROID APP)

    October 2022

    As a result of Google enhancing their privacy and security experiences, they have updated their policies and now require additional user permissions to be requested as part of the installation process for the app. From the October 2022 release, the Android app requests permission to send reminder notifications to the end user.

    Google continues to require customers to complete the Play Store Data Safety Form. Review the form and complete the instructions found here.

    campusM Attendance – Prevention of Geolocation Spoofing on Android (ANDROID APP)

    October 2022

    To prevent students from potentially spoofing their Geolocation coordinates using 3rd party apps, we modified the check-in process to check for mock GPS providers installed and operating on the device. If identified, the app will not forward the spoofed coordinates, resulting in the geolocation NOT being attached to the transaction and therefore be considered an unvalidated check-in for this check-in validation type.

    For more information, see Managing campusM Attendance.

    SMS Trigger added to URL Schema

    October 2022

    We added the ability to initiate an SMS text message to a specified number using an action URL. This can be done from a tile or on a creative studio page.

    An SMS trigger in the URL schema.

    The action URL must use the format sms:40770712345678 where the number following the sms: must be the intended recipient's mobile number (including country code).

    This does not work for the Web App, so the tile must be restricted to the native platform (whether using overrides or disabling for web altogether).

    Events Product Integration – QR Code/Text Code Check-In Validation (HOTFIX FOR SEPTEMBER 2022)

    October 2022

    We added a new configurable check-in option for events – QR Code (for native) and text-based code (for web). If Enable Check-In to Events AND Check-In Using A QR Code are checked in the General configuration area, the user is prompted to scan a valid QR code (native) or enter a valid code (web) to successfully check in.

    Enabling the QR code check-in setting.

    Both the QR code and the code to enter manually are based on the EventID that you assign to the corresponding event (either in the RSS feed or Excel file uploaded).

    The QR code must be text encoded and use the following format:

    {"eventId":"12345"}

    Where 12345 is substituted with the event ID of the corresponding event. A QR code generator must be employed to create the text-encoded QR code.

    QR code generator.png

    The text to be entered by the user in the web app must be the event ID (so in this example, the user would enter the text 12345).

    The option to enter a check-in code.

    For both native and web, the user is only checked in IF the correct code is entered.

    Events Product Integration – Check-In Without Registration (HOTFIX FOR SEPTEMBER 2022)

    October 2022

    We modified the check-in function for events behavior to enable end users to check in to an event during the check-in window event if they have not already registered for the event or if registration has not been enabled. This is to streamline the experience.

    As a result, customers can configure check-in without checking Enable Registering to Events. In this case, if Enable Check-In to Events is enabled, then the check-in button will appear during the check-in window for the event. If both are checked, then the student will be able to register in advance of the event, but can check-in without registering during the check-in window (removing the need for the additional registration step)

    For more information, see Events.

    ID Card Product Integration – Scannable QR Code (HOTFIX FOR SEPTEMBER 2022)

    October 2022

    We added the ability to configure the barcode to be displayed as a QR code and is available to scan from the screen. This provides the opportunity for the card to be used for a broader range of purposes (for example, tickets for events, loyalty card) by virtue of using the QR code standard.

    A scannable QR code on the ID card.

    For more information, see ID Card.

    Library Product Integration – Primo & Primo VE – Displaying Charges with Decimal Values (HOTFIX FOR SEPTEMBER 2022)

    October 2022

    We added the ability to configure how Charges are displayed on the live tile. By default, the charges are rounded up to an integer; however, we added a checkbox to display decimal values if enabled:

    The option to display charges with a decimal value.

    Library Product Integration – Primo VE – Displaying Blocks and Message Counts

    October 2022

    We added the ability to display the count for the number of Blocks or Messages the end-user has against their account on the live tile.

    The blocks and messages count configuration.

    For more information, see Library.

    LiveTile SDK General Release

    September 2022

    After a year of beta usage, we are releasing our LiveTile SDK to the general customer population, enabling any customer to create and code their own Live Tiles using our ReactJS development framework and deploy them to the app. This provides a means of creating new and exciting custom experiences on the home screen, displaying dynamic data and enhanced interactions on tile faces.

    For more information, see the LiveTile SDK.

    Application Extension Kit – Update to Node 14

    September 2022

    We are updating our Application Extension Kit (AEK) to support Node 14, with further work to migrate to Node 16 over the coming quarters. This update will provide a more stable development platform with incremental enhancements to the toolset.

    Customers can continue to manage their existing projects without updating their development environment, but NEW projects should be started in an updated environment.

    This will also force new projects to React 16.

    See the AEK NPM repository for guidance on how to update your development environment. 

    Social Media 

    September 2022

    To enable user authentication for customers where their end users are not yet known to the institutional authentication system (IDP) - for example, prospective students or alumni - we have incorporated social media login support for the following social platforms: Google and Facebook.

    Once configured, the user can select one of these authentication mechanisms to sign into the app. They will be redirected to the social media platform to authenticate and then redirected back to the app. Their user will then be created, with the email linked to the chosen social media account used as their primary identifier within campusM. 

    Social media login interface.

    Note that customers can extract a list of registered users from App Manager > App Settings > Registered Users

    For more information, see Managing Token Based Authentication.

    campusM Attendance – Configure Validation Type by Role HOTFIX FOR AUGUST 2022 

    September 2022

    We added the ability to define validation configuration variations by User Role. This enables customers to configure a set of different validation mechanisms for users of a particular role. For example, where a set of students require additional levels of validation, or where a set of students might be online learners and therefore would not be able to validate using a physical location mechanism.

    In the configuration, when enabled and defined, anyone with the selected role(s) is required to validate with the selected mechanisms. Everyone else (i.e. those without the specified roles) receives the default validation configuration.

    The configuration of validation type by role.

    Note that customers need to define the Validation Configurations for the selected validation types against the role configuration item. 

    For more information, see Managing campusM Attendance.

    User Permissions – Added Permission for New User Notification Campaign

    September 2022 SF: 06429793

    We added a new permission that enables customer admins to set App Manager Permissions to allow or deny the ability to create New User campaign notifications. This can be added to individuals or to groups to enable access. 

    Permission to change campaign notifications.

    For more information on User permissions, see Managing Users.

    Primo Product Integration – Format Available Holds HOTFIX FOR AUGUST 2022

    September 2022 SF: 06428215

    We added the ability to configure how available holds are displayed within the search results for the Primo product integration. This resolves a behavior where items with a large amount of hold locations would result in an unseparated list that was difficult to read. Customers can now configure the Available Holds Format to be separated by commas (default behavior) or by line breaks (optional behavior) to make them easier to interpret. 

    Format Available Holds for Primo.

    The Format Available Holds selection can be found within the General configuration section.

    For more information, see Primo.

    Primo Product Integration – Translation Keys for Days of the Week in Opening Hours

    September 2022 SF: 06375939

    We added the ability to configure translation keys for the days of the week within the Opening Hours section of the product integration. This overrides the English translations returned by Alma with the custom labels defined in the product integration Configuration, allowing for translations.  

    Day of the Week Labels configuration.

    For more information, see Primo.

    Notifications – Permission for App Manager Users to See All Their Sent Notifications

    August 2022 SF: 06326853

    As more customers continue to innovate with campusM Attendance, we are happy to announce the addition of a new client-side validation mechanism – QR Code. The QR Code must be a text encoding of the location code returned by the timetable for the event requiring validation. It can be used in conjunction with the One Time Code validation as either-or option for checking into a class.

    As a result of feedback from customers on the inability for some App Manager users with limited notification permissions or permission to send notifications to certain notification groups to be able to see previously sent messages or resend notifications to those end-users who had not read the message.

    We have therefore modified the Notification Center to enable those app manager users to view the details of the messages they have sent.

    This change only applies to notifications sent after the August release.

    For more information on how to send notifications, watch our Notification Center training videos.

    Attendance Alternative Lecturer Check-In – Enabling Pagination for Event Search Results

    August 2022

    To improve the end-user experience for those customers using the Alternative Lecturer Check-in feature, we have enabled Pagination (aka paging) when the search terms entered result in a large number of events being returned. The user can then page through the results to find their event, rather than waiting for an extended amount of time for the data to be downloaded.

    Attendance search results.

    For more information on how to send notifications, see campusM Attendance Alternative Lecturer Check-In.

    API – Create Customer Roles API

    August 2022

    In addition to the Create App Roles API, we added the equivalent Create Customer Roles API which enables developers to add new customer roles programmatically to campusM through the API gateway.

    For more information on this new API, see Create and Remove Customer Roles.

    API – Check-In Edit API

    August 2022

    We added a new API that enables customers to add and modify check-in records for end-users programmatically. This can be used to update the campusM cloud with check-in data to ensure consistency across systems.

    For more information on this new API, see Add or Modify Attendance Check-in Records.

    Lists Product Integration – PeopleSoft Vendor Support

    August 2022

    We added support for the Peoplesoft RESTful connector to generate a flat file to populate a dynamic list of items for end-users.

    The PeopleSoft Restful connector endpoint can be configured through the Product Integration Configuration screen within the Vendor section.

    For more information, see List.

    Events Product Integration – Display All Details in the When & Where Section

    August 2022

    We added the ability to display all the configured event details in the When & where section of the events listing, rather than showing the first three along with a show more option to expand visibility of other elements.

    The Event Details configuration.

    The options can be found in the Events section of the Events product integration configuration.

    For more information, see Events.

    Events Product Integration – Event Registrations and Check-In Data Export

    August 2022

    We added the ability to download the events registration and check-in data through the Events Product Integration Configuration screen, exporting it to a CSV file for external reporting and analysis.

    The export feature provides the optional ability to filter exported results by Event ID and date range. If left blank, all events data is exported. This feature is in addition to the API available for extracting data. See Get Event Registration Summary.

    The Export Event Registrations configuration screen.

    For more information, see Events.

    Events Product Integration – Support for Multiple Tags Per Event for RSS Feeds

    August 2022

    We added the ability to define multiple elements for each of the additional fields and the tags as part of the RSS feed. For example,

    <subject>History</subject>

    <subject>Art</subject>

    is mapped to two different values (history and art) and can be used to filter the events by the end-user.

    For more information, see Events.

    LMS/VLE D2L Brightspace Product Integration – Aggregated Live Tile Badge Count

    August 2022

    We added the ability to display an aggregated count of the unread Discussions, un-attempted quizzes, and unread assignment feedback in the alert badge for the live tile.

    The Live Tile configuration screen.

    For more information, see D2L Brightspace.

    Laundry Product Integration Circuit Vendor – Filter Launderette List by Location Identifier

    August 2022

    As a result of changes to the Circuit API, we have enabled customers to filter the data sent back by the vendor to specified location identifiers. Within the Circuit vendor configuration, we added the ability to add one or more laundry_room_name to filter the results from the API, allowing only selected venues to be displayed.

    The Circuit Location Filters configuration.

    For more information, see Laundry.

    campusM Attendance – QR Code Validation

    July 2022

    As more customers continue to innovate with campusM Attendance, we are happy to announce the addition of a new client-side validation mechanism – QR Code. The QR Code must be a text encoding of the location code returned by the timetable for the event requiring validation. It can be used in conjunction with the One Time Code validation as either-or option for checking into a class.

    QR code validation examples.

    Like the One Time Code, QR Code Validation is a client-side validation and has an AND logic relationship with selected cloud-side validation.

    Client and cloud side validations.

    The QR Code for each location must be based on a text encoding with the following format:

    {locationRef:"LOCATIONREFERENCE"}

    Where the LOCATIONREFERENCE is the customer loc code parsed in the timetable integration feed. The QR check-in type validation is considered valid if the scanned LOCATIONREFERENCE matches that for the class in the timetable. If not, it is invalid.

    For more information, see campusM Attendance.

    Banner Tiles – Pause Carousel Property

    July 2022

    As part of our continuous commitment to enhancing the accessibility of campusM, we added a new configurable property for Banner tiles, to enable the end-user to pause the Banner carousel. The pause selection is retained from one session to the next (but not post logout). Users can ‘play’ the Banner tile to resume the carousel.

    The ability to pause banner tiles.

    See our training essentials for more information on how to deploy and configure tiles like the Banner tile.

    Support for LDAP for CMAuth

    July 2022

    We added support for LDAP as part of our token-based authentication mechanism – CMAuth. campusM Authentication (CMAuth) is a standardized token-based authentication framework that seamlessly supports the handshake, validation, and mapping attributes for authenticated users offering a variety of possible integrations with systems.

    Configuration screen for LDAP.

    Customers who have previously used LDAP through the Connect Layer now have the option to authenticate cloud to cloud, removing the Connect Layer requirement for LDAP authentication.

    For more information about CMAuth and configuring authentication for your apps, see Managing Token Based Authentication.

    Events Product Integration – UX Enhancement for Start and End Times

    July 2022 SF: 06316872

    We enhanced how the Start and End dates/times appear for an event, to ensure they are visible and legible. We have, therefore:

    • Added a title Time for the times section.
    • Changed the default labels from Start Time and End Time to Start and End respectively.
    • Reduced the space between the labels and the content.

    UX  time enhancements.

    Events Product Integration – Support for HTML Content in the Additional Fields

    July 2022

    We enhanced the RSS feed to support the element to populate the Event ID as part of the RSS Specification, rather than a concatenation of the event title and date.

    Customers can select to use the GUID as part of the RSS Feed configuration.

    The option to generate an Event ID from GUID.

    Events Product Integration – Support for HTML Content in the Additional Fields

    July 2022

    We added support for HTML content within the Additional Fields, as well as the Description section. This is enabled when the checkbox is selected for Expect HTML Content in the Description in the Event Detail configuration.

    The Event Details configuration screen.

    For more information, see Events.

    ID Card Product integration – Peoplesoft Vendor

    July 2022

    We added support for Peoplesoft as a vendor to populate the ID Card product integration. Customers can select the Peoplesoft vendor from the ID Card configuration and set up their instance to start delivering the ID Card experience:

    The ID Card configuration screen.

    For more information about CMAuth and configuring authentication for your apps, see ID Card.

    Primo Product Integration – Live Tile Configuration – Show Charges as Sum or Count

    July 2022

    We enabled the ability to show the charges as a Total Sum of the charges, or a count of the Number of Records the user has against their account. This is configurable through the product integration configuration.

    The Primo integration configuration screen.

    For more information, see Primo.

    Banner Vendor Product Integrations – Exclude Terms by Term Code or Description

    July 2022

    We updated the Banner configuration to allow terms to be excluded from the terms list based on their description and/or term code. The exclusion filter can be configured using wildcards or a regular expression, providing flexibility with defining the filter. These filters can be applied as part of configuring the Banner XE Vendor within the following product integrations:

    • Timetable
    • Grades
    • Courses
    • Registration Status

    More than one pattern can be used by selecting Add Item:

    Term configurations for product integrations.

    For more information, see the relevant product integration configuration.

    New User Registration Notification Campaign

    June 2022

    We have introduced a brand-new onboarding feature for new user registrations. As part of this feature, we have enabled the ability for customers to configure a series of notifications that are sent to a new user upon first registration into a particular profile. The timing and content of these notifications can be configured to facilitate the creation of a communication campaign to introduce the app and prompt engagement. Customers can configure the notifications to encourage usage or point out useful features through a series of information app notifications.

    The configuration of this feature can be found in the App Manager > Notification Center:

    Configuration for the New User Notification Campaign.

    Multiple campaigns can be created and configured:

    The option to add a campaign.

    Additionally, multiple notifications can be configured for one or more profiles when a user first registers for or accesses a profile:

    Create or edit a campaign configuration screen.

    The number of days after the registration that the notification is sent, the timing of the notification (based on the time zone set for the profile in the profile settings), and the content (title and body) of the notification are configurable. 

    For more information, see Notification Center.

    campusM Attendance – Modified Check-In Refresh Icon

    June 2022 SF: 05307185

    We modified the timetable refresh icon shown on the attendance check-in screen to make it more prominent, and to make it clearer that it can be clicked to initiate a refresh. This is now consistent with other areas of the app.

    The check-in screen refresh icon.

    Whitelisting for Android Apps

    June 2022

    Google considers the apps installed on a user's device to be sensitive information. Therefore, as part of ongoing support for Android 11, we are required to build the Android app with a whitelist of 3rd party apps that can be launched from campusM. This is in line with the Apple requirement to do the same. We are therefore adding the current Apple whitelisted apps to the Android manifest for each customer.

    Note that any new link to a 3rd party app from campusM requires that the 3rd party be added to this whitelist and a new build created. These can be requested through a support ticket.

    campusM URL Schema – Web App Support for campusm://search and campusm://feedback

    June 2022

    We added support for campusm://search and campusm://feedback in the web app, enabling you to link to the app search or the feedback section directly in the web app settings from a menu option (tile) Action URL. This enables clear and direct access to these items using tiles on the home screen.

    For more information on the campusM URL Schema, see Working with App URLs.

    Web App Accessibility – Menu Option (Tile) Focus Change

    June 2022

    We modified the focus border in the web app to only be visible if a user uses a keyboard to navigate the app. This means that the thick border shown around the tile in focus is only prominent when keyboard navigation is in operation, rather than when using touch or mouse.

    The focus on a menu option.

    For more information about campusM Accessibility, see Accessibility Statement.

    Task Board Product Integration – Enhancements and Fixes

    June 2022

    We made the following fixes and enhancements:

    • Added placeholder images for when there are no tasks for a user, or if there is an error retrieving tasks from the API.
    • Added support for URLs as part of the API return, so customers can add hyperlinks to the tasks.
    • Resolved an issue with long dates being truncated onscreen. Long dates now wrap over multiple lines.
    • Added the ability to configure the labels across the integration to create a custom experience.

    For more information, see Task Board.

    Bus Tracking Product Integration: Samsara – Enhancements

    June 2022

    We made the following enhancements to the experience:

    • Added configuration to determine the size of the bus tracking circle (current position)
    • Added Base Route Labels to indicate the route identifier
    • Added a direction indicator for the bus to easily identify the direction of the bus around the route

    For more information, see Bus Tracking.

    Institutional SSO Login for App Manager

    May 2022

    We added a more seamless Authentication approach to App Manager, we enabled the use of the institutional IDP to authenticate administrators. The IDP is used to authenticate the user and then the user is authorized within App Manager. As such, user access and their permissions are still managed within the Users/Permissions area of App Manager.

    Once configured, to add a user to App Manager, navigate to Users/Permissions > Users and create a new user with an Auth Type of External and with the email address as used by the IDP for authentication. You can configure access control as usual from here.

    When the new user comes to log in to App Manager, they must use the login with institutional email option. This redirects them to the IDP for authentication and if their email address matches an authorized user, they can access App Manager.

    App Manager SSO configuration and login.

    Configuring SSO for app manager requires a support ticket request. Once the ticket is submitted, support can use an (usually existing) Integration Profile to configure authentication against the institutional IDP.

    campusM Attendance – New User Migration API

    May 2022

    We created an API to enable the transfer of a campusM user’s check-in data from one account to another. This may be needed if a student changes their email addresses, to continue to see the check-in data from the old email address and the new email address.

    More information on how to use this API can be found on the Developer Network.

    The ID card product integration configuration.

    For more information on the ID Card product integration, see ID Card.

    Events Product Integration – Event Check-In Facility

    May 2022

    We added the ability to enable end users to check-in to the events that they have registered for. The enablement of this feature and the configuration of the check-in window for the events (padding around the event start and end times within which a user can check-in to the event) are configured by the admin as part Product Integration instance.

    The end user can see the status of their registration and check-in as colored chips within the event interface. They can uncheck themselves and de-register by tapping the x to the right of the chip.

    Generic Live Tile Product Integration – Enhanced Support for Strings and Numbers

    May 2022

    We enhanced how the Generic Live Tile product integration supports string data. In this case, the badge extends to enclose the string provided up to a maxim of 50% of the tile width, at which point it truncates the string with an ellipsis. For numbers, the number is rounded up to a whole number and displayed. Anything exceeding 999 displays as 1K+.

    LMS VLE Product Integration – Moodle Vendor – Organize Course List by Categories

    May 2022

    We enhanced how courses can be organized by categories as defined within Moodle. This enables customers to utilize existing categories to order their course list, for example, by semester (as a category) and makes it easier to manage. The configuration of this feature is in the Service Content section of the Moodle product integration.

    The Moodle product integration.

    Task Board Product Integration

    April 2022

    As we continue our goal to make campusM more focused on driving user engagement and task completion, we are excited to introduce our latest product integration – Task Board.

    Task board provides an interactive interface for end-users to view tasks assigned to them, to track their progress, from in progress to complete all in one place. This initial list enables dynamic tasks to be delivered to end-users through a restful API, enabling the delivery of personalized task lists with due dates. An example use case for this is a dynamic assessment listing for students so they can plan their time accordingly, or induction tasks that new students may need to complete.

    Example tasks in mobile view.

    We will continue to enhance this product integration to enable students to create their own tasks and subtasks, to enable reminders, to integrate the tasks with their calendar, and to enable multiple feeds to populate the users’ tasks.

    For more information, see Task Board.

    Alternative Lecturer Check-in – Enhanced Service Requirements (HOTFIX FOR MARCH 2022)

    April 2022

    Following the initial deployment of the Alternative Lecturer Check-in feature, we have separated the timetable search and attendee list services to provide more flexibility when configuring this feature.

    The APIs for Alternative Lecturer Check-in endpoints must be the following:

    GET https://{base URL and path to return events data}?startDate={start of events}&email={email of lecturer}&desc={course name}&loc={location of course}

    GET https://{base URL and path to return attendees data}?eventRef={event ID}

    For more information, see Alternative Lecturer Check-In.

    Personalization – Native App Personalization Synced to Cloud (Requires iOS and Android Release)

    March 2022

    We added syncing of a user’s personalization selection from the native app to the cloud. This enables their personalization selections to persist post logout or across native devices.

    Native app configurations.

    The personalization preferences for the web app are stored separately from the native app, given the usual differences in screen size. Therefore, personalization changes made on the native app do not affect those made on the native app.

    For more information, see Managing Profiles.

    Notification Center – Permissions Modifications

    March 2022

    We modified the behavior of the Notification Permissions. Removing one or both of these permissions now hides the option from the Notification Center completely rather than having a button that then reports Permission denied. We also modified the visibility of the aggregated counts, analysis, and history so that they are only presented to users that have full access (super users).

    Notifcation permissions settings.

    For more information, see Sending Notifications to End-Users from Notification Center.

    Publishing Map Positions – New Publish Permission

    March 2022

    We added a new permission that enables selected users to publish Map updates. Only those users with All Permissions or with this new selected permission (Campus map : Can publish campus maps) assigned to them or to one or more of their access groups can update maps and publish new locations, etc.

    CampusM map permissions settings.

    For more information, see Adding Maps and Locations to Services.

    Bus tracking maps.

    For more information, see Bus Tracking.

    Events Product Integration - Get Events Registration API (HOTFIX FOR FEBRUARY 2022)

    March 2022

    We created an API, available through the API gateway, that enables customers to extract which users have registered for what events. This enables customers to pull delegate lists. The API can be queried using the following parameters:

    • eventID
    • Date range
    • Email

    For more information on the Get Events Registration API for the Events product integration, see Get Events Registration Summary.

    Log4Shell Critical Security Vulnerability

    February 2022

    On December 10, 2021, A Log4Shell critical security vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228) was discovered in Apache Log4j, a logging tool widely used in consumer and enterprise applications, cloud services, and websites around the world.

    For campusM users, we are not using the appender in our log4j and, in versions < 2.0.0, this is the only way to be exposed to this vulnerability; therefore, your connect layer is not affected by this vulnerability.

    Our private data centers are protected from this vulnerability.

    We are continuously monitoring and assessing the situation to ensure that our systems are protected.

    For more information, see Log4Shell.

    Attendance – Alternative Lecturer Check-in Enhancements

    February 2022

    Following the initial release of the Alternative Lecturer Check-in feature in January 2022, we made the following enhancements based on feedback:

    • The checkedInBy field returned by the CheckInReport service now reflects the email address of the user who searched for and then checked in the student on the lecturer’s behalf (rather than the original lecturers’ details)
    • The check-in Type was modified to reflect that an Alternative check-in was made. Therefore, the available types are:
      • SELF
      • LECTURER
      • ALTERNATIVE
    • You can now select dates in the past using the date picker in the Alternative Lecturer Check-in search screen. This enables admins/alternative lecturers to retrospectively correct the check-in record for classes.

    The OKTA roles vendor configuration.

    For more information, see Roles.

    campusM Attendance – Alternative Lecturer Check-In

    January 2022

    We added the ability for lecturers or administration staff to search the timetable to locate other teachers’ events so they can share the One Time Code or check students in if they are covering classes. The Alternative Lecturer feature is optionally available through the lecturer check-in screens. The alternative member of staff can search for the session using the lecturer’s email address and start time, and optionally, a location.

    This is a great way to add shared calendars to your app (such as university closed days, events, etc.)

    For more information, see Timetable.

    Events Product Integration – Combining Multiple RSS Feeds for Import

    April 2022

    We added the ability to configure a combination of multiple RSS feeds and an Excel file import to populate the Events product integration. This enables customers to merge their events feeds in one place within the app.

    Multiple RSS feeds configuration.

    We also enhanced support for Date format for the Start and End dates when importing the file from Excel. You no longer need to convert the Excel sheet to text.
