Release 1 – February 1, 2026

Communication Planner

Version 2602.x

The Communication Planner includes SMS Inbox, which lets you manage your inboxes and send SMS messages, seamlessly integrating with other communication tools.

• You can search for messages by Name, Student ID, or Conversation.
• Administrators can hide individual messages from view or mark messages as "Unread."
• Message "chips" display the origin of each message (i.e., Campaign, Quick Message).
• You can use Scan Inboxes to identify credentials not linked to an existing Inbox and quickly assign their phone numbers to the appropriate Inboxes.
• New objects have been added to support the SMS Inbox feature:
  • SMS Inboxes 
  • SMS Inbox Memberships 
  • SMS Inbox Phone Numbers 
• For details, see Navigating Communication Planner.

• The Appointment Scheduler allows you to create, manage, and schedule appointments with a specific office or department. For details, see Working with Office Appointments in Appointment Scheduler.
• A new lookup field was added to the Appointment Time Range object to support scheduling appointments with an office or department:

Payment Connector

Version 2602.0

• Payments/Events pages safely handle any user input that is reflected in the UI, so even if someone tries to inject a script into parameters or form fields, it is rendered as harmless text rather than executable code. Previously, Payments/Events would display some request parameters or form fields directly in the page without extra encoding.

Portal

Base Version 2602.4

• You can use the Portal’s HTML editor to easily add and manage content directly in your portal pages. For details, see Creating a Portal.

Recruitment Manager

Version 2602.1

• TOEFL test score fields accept decimal values in 0.5 increments, supporting the 1–6 score scale. For details, see Overview of 2025-2026 Standard Import Updates.

Surveys

Version 2602.0

• TargetX Surveys properly encodes all survey response text everywhere it is displayed, preventing stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in both student‑facing review screens and internal response views.

Resolved Defects

Communication Planner (2602.x)

• (CL-2461) Conditional content correctly renders and sends when special characters are included in the content or conditions.  Previously, messages with special characters could fail to render or behave unexpectedly, resulting in incorrect or missing content in emails.
• Emails that are successfully sent and delivered display a correct Message Status and accurate Received flag in Communication Planner.  Previously, some successfully delivered emails were incorrectly reported as Message Status = Failed and Received = No, creating confusion in reporting and troubleshooting
• (CL-2511) Fixed-date tracks send on the configured dates and times without delay or omission.  Previously, messages in fixed-date tracks could skip or miss the expected send date, causing campaigns to go out late or not at all.  
• (CL-2512) The Activity Center loads recipient lists reliably and completes large (45k+) sends without timing out.  Previously, accessing or sending to large recipient lists often resulted in timeouts, preventing users from completing large sends.
• (CL-2515) Campaigns and tracks that include tags can be saved and updated successfully in Communication Planner.  Previously, attempts to save campaigns or tracks that used tags failed, blocking users from configuring or updating tagged assets.  

Communities (2602.0)

• (PD-7221) TargetX Communities encodes user input so it is shown only as text and cannot run as code. In the past, some input was not encoded correctly, which let certain crafted values run as code in the browser.

Engage (2602.0)

• (CL-2501) Engage displays a correct, non‑negative Total Wait Time value for all records.  Previously, certain scenarios produced a negative Total Wait Time, leading to confusing and inaccurate wait-time reporting.  

Events (2602.4)

• (CL-2363) Registration error messages on mobile devices are clearly formatted and easy for users to understand and correct.  Previously, error messages during mobile registration were hard to read or interpret, making it difficult for users to complete event sign‑up.  

Online Application (2602.8)

• (CL-2458) Community users cannot change submitted application data unless explicitly allowed by configured permissions or workflows. Previously, Community users were able to modify application details after submission, leading to data integrity and audit concerns.
• (CL-2480) When a validation rule fails on fields within the Address widget, a clear error message appears next to the affected fields. Previously, validation rule failures on Address widget fields did not display error messages, leaving users unsure why they could not proceed.
• (CL-2492) Filters on multi-select picklist fields work correctly and drive the autocomplete results as configured. Previously, filtering on multi-select picklist fields did not affect autocomplete, returning unfiltered or irrelevant options.
• (CL-2505) When a recommendation fails a validation rule, the recommender sees a clear error and is prompted to correct the data before submission. Previously, validation rule failures on recommendations occurred silently without presenting an error to the recommender, allowing invalid data attempts without feedback.

Permission Scanner (back-end update)

• (CL-2482) Permission Scanner grants or checks the required permissions to preview event forms. Previously, users lacked the necessary permission surfaced by Permission Scanner, preventing them from previewing event forms even when they were appropriate.

Recruitment Manager (2602.1)

• (CL-2451) The Recruitment Manager utilizes an updated, secure jQuery library version on the Salesforce site to address known vulnerabilities.  

TX Forms (Base 2602.4)

• (CL-2360) The "Disallow Future Dates" validation triggers only after a full date has been entered. Previously, the error occurred while the user was still typing the date, before a complete date had been entered, disrupting data entry.

Form Manager Enhancements

The Form Manager has had several updates to increase clarity, conciseness, and ease of use:

• The Submission Export report includes several new columns for primary supervisor email and secondary supervisor name and email. Additionally, institutional administrators can choose to include display text data as columns in the report.
• All forms-related pages now include a page preview so that as content loads, the page is not blank.
• The Submissions page now has an All option on the Form Progress table, which allows institutional administrators to view all submissions for a form, regardless of submission status.
• When building a form, if you enter a shortened value (i.e., code) for single-choice, multiple-choice, drop-down, or Likert scale answers, the value field now has a maximum length of five characters.

Activity Details Report Download Honors Filters

When a supervisor, faculty member, or institutional administrator applies advanced filters to a trainee's Activity Details page and then downloads a .csv file or prints the signature page, those downloads now honor the filters. Previously, those downloads contained all of a trainee's activities, not just the filtered ones.

Reorder Panels and Subpanels on Applicant Details Page

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 a member of your account team for more information.

You can now reorder the panels and subpanels on the Applicant Details page by dragging and dropping. Your reordering is unique to your WebAdMIT account and allows you to prioritize the applicant information most important to you and your review process. Note the following:

• The Applicant Header cannot be moved and stays at the top.
• As a best practice, minimize (i.e., close) your panels before you reorder them; panels with a lot of data may be harder to move based on your computer's display settings. You can reopen your desired panels after you're done reordering them.
• The panels and subpanels you see are set in Work Groups.
  • If a panel or subpanel is removed from your Work Group, it will be removed from your view.
  • If a panel is added to your Work Group, it will be added at the end of all your panels.
  • If a subpanel is added to your Work Group, it will be added to the far right of the panel.
• You need to set your panel order in each CAS and cycle of WebAdMIT; it is not included in the Transfer Settings.
• You can only reorder panels for applicants you have full visibility rights for; you cannot reorder panels for partial (i.e., limited) visibility, such as applicants in the On Hold application status.

This enhancement was inspired by user feedback via the Ideas Portal.

Deactivation for Inactive Accounts

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 a member of your account team for more information.

Users who haven't logged in to WebAdMIT in the past 18 months have had their accounts deactivated. This enhances the security of WebAdMIT and ensures only current and active users can access applicants and admissions data. To learn more about this and review best practices, visit the Managing Users page.

Advanced Review with WebAdMIT Holistic

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

You can now perform a holistic review of your applicants using WebAdMIT Holistic. A holistic review approach identifies individuals whose unique strengths align with a program's goals by considering multiple dimensions – such as personal attributes, experiences, skills, and academic performance – rather than focusing disproportionately on just one or a few factors like test scores. While a CAS largely decides the review metrics, each school has the autonomy to make adjustments to fit its specific needs.

With this enhancement, you can view and manage your holistic review scores within WebAdMIT. CASs can also customize the feature name to align with their preferred terminology (e.g., Advanced Review, etc.). New features and functionality include:

• A new Holistic Review feature under the Management panel. Here you can adjust the percentages/weights of scoring components (i.e., domains and subdomains).
• A new Holistic Review panel on the Applicant Details page, where you can view the applicant's individual score.
• A new Manage Advanced Review permission in Work Groups, so you can choose who can edit your program's holistic review model.
• The Holistic Review components are available in the List Manager, Export Manager, and Scoring features.
  

New Applicant Gateway User Help Center

For CASs and products that use the Applicant Gateway tool, the existing Applicant Gateway user help content has been migrated to the new Applicant Gateway User Help Center. This help center includes all the existing documentation and guides, with updated screenshots and best practices.
