Version 2.8.11.0 (released on 02/23/2023 at 7:00 pm)

Features:

  • On the “Account Settings - Single Sign-On page”, we have added two new buttons that generate the necessary script for linking to Seminars from your SSO portal. You can use these scripts to either direct log in and go to the “Register to Events” page or register for the event(s) that you choose from your portal without signing in to Accucampus.
  • On the “Account Settings - Single Sign-On page”, we have updated information for SAML login information and fixed the consumer's link in metadata.

Version 2.8.10.0 (released on 06/06/2022 at 8:00 pm)

  • On the “User Page”, to support the increased number of rows widgets now use grids with paging.

Fixes:

  • On “User Page”, Last Modified Time and Created On show the time in another timezone.

Now when the series to be shown is over 10, then they are limited to 10 chosen by their visits count (series with more visits are selected).
  • On “Home Page Quick Panels”, Comparison Across Semesters by Topic, the selection drop-down for a topic may not populate under some specific situations.
