About These Release Notes
This document provides a summary of the new features and enhancements available in the Sprint 21 release. If you have any questions about these features, please contact your Account Manager.
New Features and Enhancements
Configuration Portal Enhancements
The following enhancement is available for the Configuration Portal as part of Sprint 21.
Answer Value Expiration Dates
Note that this enhancement is available immediately for all CASs.
You can now add expiration dates for answer values in the Questions section. Once the expiration date has passed, the answer value won’t be available to applicants. This is an optional feature, and if no expiration date is selected, the answer value is always available to applicants. Note that you can’t include expiration dates for every answer value; one answer value must always be available.
Expiration dates are based on the CAS time zone. For example, if all program deadlines expire at 11:59 PM PT, then the answer values also expire at 11:59 PM PT. You must also select expiration dates in the future.
WebAdMIT Enhancements
The following enhancements are available for WebAdMIT as part of Sprint 21.
CEEB Code Field in PDF Manager
Note that this enhancement is available immediately for all CASs.
You can now select the CEEB Code field when configuring the file name pattern for transcripts in the PDF Manager. If the college doesn’t have a CEEB code, 0000 is used by default.
Example format: <FirstName>_<LastName>_Transcript_<Liaison College Code>_<College Name>_<CEEB Code>.pdf
Example: Jane_Smith_Transcript_2345_Watertown University_6789.pdf
New WebAdMIT Support Team Name
