Liaison Outcomes Enhancements

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

External Application Data No Longer Editable in the Student Portal

With this enhancement configured, students can no longer edit their application data from the Student Portal. When trying to open an in-progress application, applicants are directed to an external link. This consolidates the editing process and eliminates the need for data to transfer from one source to another, avoiding potential data discrepancies. This feature is available upon request. Contact your account manager for more information.

Marketing Emails Now Contain a One-Click Unsubscribe Option

In Liaison Outcomes, you can use marketing features to communicate with applicants and other contacts via email. With this enhancement, these emails now contain an unsubscribe option, allowing recipients to remove themselves from future communication with one click. No configuration is necessary for this feature.

New Documentation for Outcomes

Document	Details
Including Variable Fields in Exports	Our Advanced Configuration Library provides guidance to help you build custom configurations in Outcomes. In our latest article, Including Variable Fields in Exports, you'll learn to use JavaScript to create a conditional export that includes different fields based on the conditions you indicate. This can be useful if you have conditional questions that require different additional information depending on the applicant's response.
Creating a Property that Displays True or False Based on Multiple Evaluation Form Responses	In this article, you'll learn to build a Calculated Property that uses JavaScript to determine if any reviewers have provided a specific response that you are looking for - even across separate programs, phases, or review forms. The field then updates to indicate your desired response was found
Creating Custom Text Translations for Exports	In this article, you'll learn to use JavaScript to convert specific values before exporting them. This can be important if the system you're importing data into will not accept the values in their current format.
Migrating Liaison Outcomes Data to Custom Fields in WebAdMIT	lf your institution uses both Liaison Outcomes and WebAdMIT, you may find it useful to transfer data from one system to another. In this article, you'll earn to migrate data from Outcomes to WebAdMIT.
