New Feature

Customize Brightspace Field for Program Search

For customers utilizing the Brightspace integration, Institution Admins are now able to enter the preferred Brightspace Org Unit Type ID to allow you to filter through your Brightspace course data using your selected Brightspace Org Unit types.

In some cases, the "Department" dropdown list would not populate if the Org Unit Type ID was not the expected default value.

Administrators can now update this value to match whichever Org Unit Type ID their organization utilizes.

Project Home and Custom Question Workflow

Note: The new workflow is summarized here but will also be updated in the relevant articles for your Administrators and Instructors.

Custom Question Admins and Instructors will now have a new "Project Home" for their Custom Question Projects, where they can view important dates corresponding to their project and add custom question surveys to the project.

Selecting the Project Name (either from the "Home" > "Widget" or "Custom Question Projects" page) will direct the user to the new "Project Home" page.
