Enhancements
Improved Accessibility for Workflow Submissions
Administrators and faculty using Faculty Success workflow submissions now have enhanced screen reader support. These improvements ensure smoother navigation and a clearer understanding of the submission process for users of assistive technology.
These updates remove specific accessibility barriers within the workflow submission process such as:
Reduced Redundancy: Fixes prevent screen readers from repeating announcements when sending submissions back to a previous step.
Clearer Context: Improved labeling helps users understand their current location within the submission.
Streamlined Management: Assistive technology users can manage and track submissions more efficiently without audio interference.
Faculty Career Pathways
Enhancements
Improved Search for Unassigned Faculty in Career Pathways
Administrators can now search for unassigned faculty members by name or organizational data, such as rank, department, or college. This update ensures accurate and consistent search results, making it easier to find and assign faculty based on the latest information.
Manage Event Library Updates and Faculty Timelines
Administrators managing Faculty Timelines now see that edits made to events in the Event Library do not automatically update events already placed on faculty timelines. This ensures that once a Result or Exception Event is added to a faculty member’s timeline, its details remain consistent with the version originally selected.
