Enhancements

Switch between "Faculty View" and "Admin View"

Administrative users tracking activities now have access to the Faculty Experience preview banner. The Faculty Experience only impacts faculty focused tools, such as Reports, Activities, and the Workflow Inbox. While exploring the new experience from the faculty view, the user profile menu at the top right may be used to return to the administrative view. The administrative view will continue to be used for tools such as Manage Data, Users and Security, Work Requests, and Workflow.
