Release 4 – April 26, 2020

    Shared Lookup Table Updates 

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs and participating programs. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

Many fields in the Applicant Portal contain predefined answer values that applicants can select; for example, the Country and County fields both have predefined answer values. These values are housed in shared “lookup tables” which are viewable in your CAS’s/UniCAS’s Custom Export Layout (CEL) file, available here. Additionally, the Master College Code List has been updated with new colleges and the Master High School Code List has been updated with new high schools; click the links to download the updated files. You can review the Shared Lookup Table Updates document for a summary of all changes.

Once the new lookup table values become available to applicants on April 26, 2020, they’re reflected in WebAdMIT in the applicant’s profile, within the application PDF, and in lists and exports. If your school imports these fields directly from our system to yours, these new options will begin appearing in your exports as applicants select them. If you created a “crosswalk” from WebAdMIT data to your local data in your SIS/CRM, you may need to update this crosswalk for the newly added options.

    Batch Updates for Custom Fields and Decision Codes 

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs and participating programs. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

You can now send Custom Field and Decision Codes updates for batches of applicants via the WebAdMIT API. Previously, the WebAdMIT API could only process one data point for one applicant at a time.
