Career Pathways
New Features
Create an Event using Other Events
While building your Career Path timeline, you may need to add a new Base Event that hasn't yet been included in your Base Events library. The list of Base Events now features an "Other" option, allowing you to open the event editor directly within the Career Path page. All of the same settings and options that an event created from your Base Event library contains will be available from this view. Selecting the “Save this as a Base Event” checkbox will enable you to reuse this event on other timelines, and leaving that box unchecked will leave this as a one-off event only for this timeline.
Selecting "Other" form the list of Base Events will display the same fields from the Base Event Library, allowing you to create new Base Events on the fly.
Reviews, Promotion, and Tenure
Enhancements
PDF Viewer
Enjoy a more reliable and convenient way to work with PDFs! A new browser-based PDF viewer improves compatibility, so you can expect to open more files without errors. Plus, you now have direct download controls for PDFs outside of the Submission Download feature, with the full experience encompassed by the Faculty Success navigation bar.

Schedule Name Filter
An adjustment has been made to the Schedule Name filter for the inbox from an open text field to a type ahead multi-select field. With this list populating all Schedule Names available to the reviewer, filtering to a particular Schedule is easier and more intuitive.
Typing in the "Process Name" box of the Filters section of the Inbox filters to the Schedules representing in the user's task list, allowing one or more to be selected and applied.
Along with this change, we renamed the field from "Name" to "Process Name", and relabeled the associated column header to match.
