Developments

Multiple Calendars from Outlook Calendar Supported in Timetable Product Integration

May 2026

The Outlook Vendor in Timetable Product Integration, which previously only returned the user's default calendar, can now return events from all calendars shared with the user. This can be enabled in the Timetable PI configuration page. For more information, see Timetable.

Task Board Redesign

May 2026

In a continuous effort to improve productivity and organization, the Task Board Product Integration user interface has been redesigned. The improved Task Board Product Integration now allows institutions to customize colors and aims to increase student organization and productivity.

campusM will start collecting anonymized analytics data on Task Board usage with these UI changes. The data will be displayed in the Analytics section of App Manager starting late summer 2026. Engagement analytics are collected for each university-created task, while user-created tasks are aggregated.

For more information, see Task Board.

Redesigned Task Board Mobile View

Redesigned Task Board Web View

Home Page and Web App upgraded to React 19

May 2026

The campusM Home Page and campusM Web App has been upgraded from React 18.3 to React 19.2, which is currently the latest version of React. This change fixes some outstanding accessibility issues, and generally brings infrastructure up-to-date, making the campusM platform more stable, easier to maintain, and quicker to develop.

For more information on React versions, see the Versions page on the official React website.

Customers using custom CSS and Javascript on the Home Page are strongly advised to test for regressions in the May 2026 Preview environment, with a special emphasis on sidebar behavior, as the sidebar has been significantly restructured. No action is required for customers who do not use customer CSS and Javascript on the Home page, and no UI change is expected for end-users, aside from accessibility improvements.

Customers using AEK are strongly advised to test their code in the May 2026 Preview environment, with a special emphasis on TileSDK integrations. No action is required for customers who do not use AEK.

Various TileSDK projects have been tested internally, and it has been determined that customers using the TileSDK as designed should not experience any issues. However, TileSDK behavior might experience regressions if it has dependencies on third-party code that is no longer supported in React 19.

For more information about migrating your code to React 19, see React's migration guide.

For further support on this topic, please join the campusM Slack Channel.

Permissions for Attendance Configuration in App Manager

May 2026

A new permission has been added to campusM for Attendance – Attendance: Can Access Attendance Configuration.

Previously, only campusM users with All Permissions checked could access Attendance configuration in App Manager (provided Attendance was enabled for their organisation). Now, to access Attendance configuration, administrators must have either: All Permissions checked, or both Attendance: Can Access Attendance Configuration and Service : Can change product integration permissions selected.

For more information, see Configuring Attendance.

Navbar Analytics

April 2026

A new Navbar dimension is now available in the Home Page and Home Page by Roles subject areas in campusM Analytics. This enables campusM administrators to monitor the app engagement through the taps on the Navbar menu items for their specific institution. For more information, see Home Page and Home Page by Roles on the Subject Areas page.

New Task Board Configuration Vendor

April 2026

In a continuous effort to improve productivity and organization, a new vendor has been added to the Task Board Product Integration that is entirely managed within App Manager. Institutions can now assign tasks to students based on their App Role with no API required.

For more information, see Task Board.

Notifications Analytics

March 2026

A new Notifications subject area is now available in campusM Analytics. This enables campusM administrators to monitor the app engagement through notifications for their specific institution. Additionally, administrators can compare their data to the average data of the institutions in their region. As notifications may contain sensitive information, the Notifications Analytics data does not include notification content. The Notifications subject area contains the following new fields for both local and regional analysis:

Number Sent — The number of notifications sent by the administrators
Personalised — Displays whether the notification was personalised or not. Personalised notifications are notifications with fewer than 10 recipients.
Number Received — The number of expected recipients of a notification at the time the notification was created
Number Read — The number of notifications read by the recipients
Engagement — The engagement rate (Number Read divided by Number Received)

For example, after sending a notification, you can cross-reference the data with other Analytics subject areas to determine whether a certain notification drove engagement in the app.

While the Notification Center in App Manager only displays 12 months of data, the Notification Analytics contains all data from 2019 onward. For more information, see the relevant section in campusM Analytics Subject Areas.

Task Board Tasks Synced to Calendar

March 2026

In a continuous effort to improve productivity and organization, tasks from the Task Board Product Integration that include a date and/or time are now automatically synced to the campusM calendar. This is the first among several upcoming Task Board features designed to support student success around academic organization.

For more information, see Task Board.

Favorites Container

February 2026

A new type of tile container has been introduced to campusM: a Favorites Container. Unlike the regular type containers that are controlled by the administrator, when personalization is enabled for an App Profile, campusM end-users are fully in control of their Favorites Container.

Favorites Containers enable campusM users to keep their favorite tiles in a single tile container. Once users select a tile as one of their favorites, the tile automatically disappears from its original place and moves to the Favorites Container for easy access.

At time of release, any existing App Profiles will have a Favorites Container added, and it will be hidden by default - but still accessible to the end-user via the Arrange function if Personalization is enabled.
New App Profiles added after the release will have the Favorites Container added and displayed to end-users by default.
For more details on how to configure the Favorites Container, see Configuring Tile Containers.

Due Dates for assignments from the Blackboard Product Integration are now imported straight into the campusM calendar.

These events also include a link to the assignment in the Blackboard application.

These events also include a link to the assignment in the Canvas application.

Terms of Use Removed from the App Manager

February 2026

In order to comply with legal requirements, Clarivate's "Terms of Use" document can no longer be edited from the App Manager > General Settings, and the Terms of Use field was removed. To have the "Terms of Use" text updated for your application, open a Clarivate support ticket.

AEK Framework Updated to Support Node.js 20

February 2026

Our AEK (Application Extension Kit) framework has been updated to support Node.js 20 in order to improve the security and stability of AEK screens and tiles. This also improves support for Node.js 18. For more details please refer to the campusM Slack channel (which you can join by requesting an invite link via a support case).

Tile Containers Analytics

January 2026

Tile Containers are now supported in campusM Analytics. A new Container field was added to the Home Page dimension in Analytics for both the Home Page and Home Page by Roles subject areas. Clicks on tiles within a Tile Container also record the name of that container. The value of the Container field in Analytics is null for clicks on tiles that do not belong to a tile container.

This enables campusM administrators to view the total number of clicks on tile containers by excluding the Menu field from the analysis, as well as see the total number of clicks on tiles by excluding the Container field.

Data collected from the launch of the Tile Containers feature will become available in Analytics beginning January 2026.

Institutional Privacy Policy Added to campusM

January 2026CAM-28370

The "Institutional Privacy Policy", which was previously only available in the App and Google Play Stores, is now available in campusM. Users can find it in the mobile app Settings page, or in the web-app top-right menu.

Force Upgrade Implemented

January 2026CAM-28279

React Native now supports Force Upgrade, enabling campusM administrators to implement it to ensure the users have the latest version of the application. When users log in to their application and a new version is available, campusM displays a pop-up that forces them to update before they can continue using the app.

The Update Now popup in the Application

Update Required pop-up

To define the minimal supported campusM version required for Android and iOS platforms, please open a case to our Support team.

For more information, see the relevant section in Configuring App Basics.
