• Different Staff Views for different groups of people based on their person type, such as Staff and Students.
• Different Staff Views based on a staff person's core job duties (eg. Department), such as Advise, Admin or Recruit, accessible from the "Department App Switcher".

Upon release, these features have been rolled out to a number of institutions and they will be phased into all additional environments over the next two weeks. 

The new features include Department Apps*, Person Types, Import Processes*, and Manual Prospect Entry.

*Department Apps and Import Processes are Add-On Features that display on the Features tab in Institution Administration.

Upon release, there will be no change to the pre-release functionality.

• All Staff Users will be assigned the Advise App by default.
• All Administrators will be assigned the Admin App by default.
• All users (staff, faculty, and students) will display on the Student Page by default.

Department Apps

Department Apps (eg. Apps) create a separate workspace based on a staff user's primaty duties. Department Apps include: Advise, Instruct, and Recruit. For more information, see here.

  • • Department Apps must be enabled and a user must have more than one department app in order for the start screen to display.
    • Users that are assigned only one department app will not see the start screen.
    • Acceptable image types are: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .svg, and .gif.
    • We do not have required dimensions for the image, since it will automatically be cropped accordingly.  However, for the best experience, we recommend that it should be at least 2500 pixels wide and less than 800kb in size.  Larger images are allowed, but they may take longer to load and display.

Person Types

Person Types group different people together based on their type so that each group can be viewed with a seperate Staff View based on Person Type settings.

Person Types include: Applicant, Faculty, Prospect, Staff, and Student. For more information, see here.

Import Processes

Import Processes allow institutions to import prospect related data via CSV files as this is most likely not being imported from the SIS.

Imports include: Addresses, Person to High School Relationships, Phone Numbers, Prospects, Veteran Statuses. For more information, see here.

Manual Prospect Entry

When Import Processes is enabled in Features Administration, in addition to allowing imports via CSV, Manual Prospect Entry is added which allow institutions to manually enter and edit prospective students from the Prospects Person Type Page. For more information, see here.
