New Features and Enhancements

Cross-Portal Enhancements

Liaison's suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the CAS Applicant Portal, is the system where applicants find and apply to your programs. You receive these applications in WebAdMIT or Liaison Outcomes, where you perform your review processes. The appearance of your program and your requirements are customized in the CAS Configuration Portal, where you establish the program-specific elements that your applicants will interact with. Additionally, your program may use one or more of the following tools and platforms:

API: a data integration tool.
CAS Analytics by Liaison and Othot: advanced analytics solutions and data reporting tools.
CAS Applicant Gateway: a platform for applicants who have already submitted their CAS application to complete and upload additional materials requested by their programs.
CAS Liaison Letters: a platform for evaluators to submit their letters of recommendation.
Enrollment Marketing and TargetX: customer relationship management (CRM) systems for student lifecycle management.
Living Profile: a platform where students can connect their academic pursuits with their career aspirations.
SlideRoom: a platform for collecting digital portfolios.
Time2Track: a platform for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences.

Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.

Configurable Comments Now Available for Likert Scales and Most Question Types

This enhancement is for CASs using WebAdMIT and must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the next cycle. If activated, this enhancement will be available for all participating programs in the next cycle. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.

CASs that use WebAdMIT can now configure comments on Likert scales and all question types in Liaison Letters except those with multi-select/checkbox answers. Recommenders can use comments to add more details.

Comments will be available for multi-select/checkbox answers in a future release.

CAS API

Likert rating comments are now available via a new "comments" property in the EvaluationFormAnswers JSON node for CAS API.

Liaison Letters

If comments are configured, recommenders can enter comments for Likert scales and supported question types on recommendation forms. Note that comments can be made optional for Likert scale questions but can only be made required for multiple-choice questions.

WebAdMIT

To view a recommender's comments, click Evaluation Details on the Evaluations panel on the Applicant Details page. You can also view comments in the full application PDF and Evaluations report in the Report Manager.
