campusM 2025 Release Notes
Developments
Calendar - Events Now Included in Web App
April 2025CAM-23702
Events for which end-users registered or which they marked as favorites (by selecting their Heart icons 
) can now be incorporated into their calendars in the Web app. (They were already included in the calendars of React Native mobile apps.) End-users can choose whether to show or hide events in the calendar display by selecting Calendars.
For more information, see Timetable.
Floor Plans
March 2025CAM-26566
Updated 26 February 2025
You can now create a map from an image file. If you then link the map to a position, end-users can see the map in the app when they select the position. This can be useful, for example, for providing floor plans of the interiors of buildings, or a custom campus map. The image is displayed in the bottom drawer, in the new Floor Plan tab, and the position it is linked to is marked on the image. In mobile apps under React Native, the image is displayed in the bottom drawer, in the Floor Plan tab, and the position to which it is linked is marked on the image. In the web app, the image is displayed in the Maps tab.
For additional information, see Adding Maps and Locations to Services.
Product Integration - Newsfeed
March 2025CAM-26384
A new product integration has been introduced into campusM: a Newsfeed service. This feature allows you to add one or more feeds, either as RSS feeds or API endpoints, to a Newsfeed page. Users can access this page from a tile on the homepage. The main page of the Newsfeed UI displays the headlines of the items, which it receives from the linked feeds. Users can select these items to view their full content. This feature can be used, for example, to incorporate headlines from two feeds, one an RSS feed of breaking stories from a general news agency, and the other an internal news feed from your organization, supplied via an API endpoint and introducing new developments on campus.
Multiple feeds can be included in a single Newsfeed, and the feeds can be filtered by the end-user to limit the display to selected feeds. Feeds are updated automatically every five minutes, so they are always kept up to date. End-users can also choose to view feed items from preceding days, to save favorites, and to search for items whose titles and authors' names contain a specified string of text.
For more information, see Newsfeed.
Login - Logo Displayed on Select a Profile Page
March 2025CAM-XXXXX
React Native now supports the display of the institution's logo on the Select a Profile page. If a logo is selected in the Change app device icons page (App Settings > App Settings > Web App Icons), this logo is displayed in the Select a Profile page, followed by the Welcome message configured in Change general settings page (App Settings > App Settings > General Settings). (If no logo is selected, it is replaced in the Select a Profile page with the text, "Welcome to [app name]." "Welcome to" in this message is translatable.)
For more information, see Configuring App Basics and Managing Profiles.
Notification Center - Advanced Role Notification
March 2025CAM-25605
A new option has been added to the Send Advanced-role Notification page: Under Select your operator, the Only option has been added. Select this option if you only want to send the notification to users with the role selected under First Role. This modification does not add any new functionality to the feature. It was adopted after internal testing showed that it improved performance.
For more information, see Working with the Notification Center.
Maps - PC Availability Information
February 2025CAM-25893
React Native now supports the display of PC-availability information in maps. This feature can be used by institutions that provide PCs for students to use, for example, in libraries or laboratory environments. If your institution offers this type of service to students, and your system keeps track of which PCs are in use at any given time and which are available for students to use, you can provide this information in campusM maps. To do this, your system must have a server that can provide information about PC availability at specific positions whenever it is requested.
PC-availability information can be included in maps by attaching it to a special location category. When the end-user selects this location category in a map, a list of relevant locations opens at the bottom of the map. The list includes information about the total number of PCs found at each relevant site and the number of these PCs currently available for use.
For more information, see Adding Maps and Locations to Services.
Analytics - Analysis of Page Views by User Role
February 2025 
Idea Exchange CAM-26520
Two new subject areas have been added to Analytics:
- Home Page by Roles
- Pages by Roles
These new subject areas enable you to break down data about tile and page selection by user roles. For example, from the Home Page by Roles subject area, you can create a report that shows how many users with specific roles selected each tile in the homepage. This can indicate which tiles are most useful to users of different types. Based on this information, you might decide to move certain popular tiles to the top of the homepage for specific types of users, or remove certain tiles that are never used by specific types of users from the homepage entirely.
Two out-of-the-box (OTB) reports built on these subject areas are also now available:
- Home Page by Role OTB
- Pages by Role OTB
These reports can be used to quickly create reports of tile- and page-use per user role.
For more information, see campusM Analytics Subject Areas.

Search results on mobile platforms did not prioritize results in which the keywords appeared in the titles, as they should have and as they did in the Web app. This was fixed. - April 2025 CAM-26564

In maps, the initial zoom for location categories and positions has been improved so that the area included in the map when it opens is more useful for users.

When a single position is selected, a larger area surrounding the position is shown. - March 2025 CAM-26463
A frame was incorrectly added to certain icons when they were selected. This was fixed. - March 2025 Platform: Mobile SF: 07774868 07749907 07495079 07488524 CAM-24567

When a lecturer tried to use the bulk check-in feature to mark students as absent, and only one absence reason was defined in the system's configuration, a blank region appeared instead of the dropdown menu from which the lecturer should have been able to select an absence reason. This was fixed. - February 2025 SF: 07234183 CAM-25474
When a student checked-in offline, the system did not check the current IP address of their device at the time of the check-in (which should have been null if they were offline), instead recording the IP at the time the student selected the Attendance tile. This opened up the possibility that the student would appear to have been at a different location at the time of check-in than where they really were. This was fixed. - February 2025 SF: 07681033 CAM-25964

Certain permission-related text lines were not translated into the interface language when it was set to a non-English language. This was fixed. - January 2025 Platform: iOS SF: 07240283 07498507 07700333 07762796 07769116 07781167 CAM-25286

When an end-user checked their notification channel subscriptions, their subscriptions were automatically toggled off. This was fixed. The channel subscription settings no longer change when the user opens the settings page. - January 2025 Platform: React Native CAM-26133
When users of screen readers navigated through certain pages, the headings were not identified by the reader.

The problem was fixed. - January 2025 Platform: React Native SF: 07221266 CAM-25673
