Developments
(CAM-23404) App Settings - Complexity Requirements for End-User Passwords
November 2024CAM-XXXXX
CM & LM
Standard authentication can now be configured to require that passwords meet certain requirements, such as a minimum number of characters and/or the inclusion of uppercase and lowercase letters. These requirements are configured per profile group, and must be met by end-users when they create a login password for the app.
For more information, see Managing Users.
(CAM-21979) Authentication - Support for CAS
November 2024CAM-21979
CM & LM
Token-based authentication via CAS is now supported. To configure this option, create an integration profile for it in the App Manager at App Settings > Integration Profiles > Add integration profile. For additional information, see Configuring Integration Profiles.
(CAM-25825) Accessibility - Addition of Accessible Mechanism for Arranging Tiles
November 2024CAM-25825
CM & LM
In the end-user app, the List view of the Arrange feature has been revamped to provide a more accessible mechanism for changing the order in which tiles appear on the desktop. Previously, the only way to rearrange the tiles was to drag and drop them, in Grid view. Now, up and down arrows are included in List view, in the rows of each of the tiles. Selecting one of these arrows moves its tile up or down by one row at a time.
As a further enhancement of the List view, the other icons have been replaced. Users can now choose to hide tiles, or to display tiles that were previously hidden, by selecting 
or 
, respectively. Tiles that cannot be hidden are identified with a Lock icon (
).
(CAM-25364) Attendance - Prompts to Enable Required Services
November 2024CAM-25364
CM only
For systems configured to require check-in validation by geolocation and/or beacon, a prompt has been added to handle cases in which students who attempt to check in have given permissions for the app to use the services required to perform the validation (location services for geolocation or Bluetooth service for beacon), but have not turned those services on on their devices. For example, if beacon validation is required, and a student has given the app Bluetooth permission, but Bluetooth is turned off on their mobile device, when they attempt to check in to a class, they are prompted to turn Bluetooth on.
(CAM-25179) Calendar - Improved Display of Short Activities
November 2024CAM-25179

In Calendar view, the display of relatively short activities has been improved. Text that would be cut off in the activity’s rectangle in the calendar is no longer displayed. As before, long-pressing the activity opens its full label in the Details Drawer at the bottom of the screen.
(URM-225256) Analytics - Monthly Hits Table
November 2024URM-225256
CM & LM
Previously, the Monthly Hits table in the Pages subject area only included data about pages that were accessed at least ten times during the month. This behavior has been changed. There is no longer a minimum number of hits required in order for a page to be included in the results. Any page that was accessed at least once during the month is included.
