campusM 2024 November Release Notes

App Settings - Complexity Requirements for End-User Passwords

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.

Authentication - Support for CAS

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.

Accessibility - Addition of Accessible Mechanism for Arranging Tiles

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 selectingor, respectively. Tiles that cannot be hidden are identified with a Lock icon ().

The Arrange option can be opened in mobile devices by selectingto open the bottom menu, and then selecting Arrange. In the Web app, it can be opened from the main menu.

Accessibility - Improved Icons

As part of our efforts to improve the accessibility of the campusM app, the appearance of the icons in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen has been modified. The icon in the menu bar of the currently selected tab is now in a brighter blue and the image is filled in rather than outlined (e.g.,instead of), making it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish it from the icons of the tabs that are not selected (which are in black and outlined - e.g.,).

The entire set of icons now looks like this:

Icon - Tab Not Selected	Icon - Tab Selected
(with new- notification indicator)	(with new- notification indicator)

Attendance - Prompts to Enable Required Services

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.

Calendar - Improved Display of Short Activities

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.

Analytics - Monthly Hits Table

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.
