Thank you to everyone who participated in our survey(s). As a CAS, we are continually working to disseminate information to benefit the higher education profession. We will continue to do so the best we can and appreciate your help answering these hot topic questions.
We are excited to share the results from our two previous surveys. See what your peer institutions are doing in terms of test requirements during the pandemic as well as Fall 2021 orientation and recruitment events.
We remain grateful for your continued interest in participating in our two-question, anonymous surveys . We are skipping one this issue because we recently sent out a survey to all CAS users titled COVID-19 Fall 2021 Impact on Higher Education. We do hope you participated if you received the link.
This survey is now closed, and we will publish the results in our next issue.
The drag-and-drop reorder functionality is now available when reordering Either/Or question responses in the Configuration Portal ; this is like the functionality for reordering Multiple Choice question answer options. This enhancement improves user experience, as you no longer need to enter answer options in the exact order you want them displayed in. This will also ensure that your exports are not impacted if you reorder such responses choices.
Once a program is ready to go live in the application, Account Managers and Client Success Managers at Liaison promote your programs from the prelaunch environment to the production (i.e., live) environment. A new Promoted Date column in the Organizations table within the prelaunch environment now includes which date the program was promoted so that you can easily identify which of your programs the Liaison team has approved and promoted to the production environment.
As you may be aware, the CAS application allows you to link Kira Assessments if you already have an account with Kira Talent and want to make it available to all applicants via the application. We have now expanded this feature such that you can now extract the Kira Assessment URL field through the Export Manager in WebAdMIT.
