New Features and Enhancements

CAS Configuration Portal Enhancements

Program Configuration Export Includes Unofficial Transcript Requirements

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 export your program's configuration data from the CAS Configuration Portal. With this enhancement, two new fields are now included in the College Transcript sheet of the report:

  • Unofficial Transcript Required to Submit
  • Unofficial Foreign Evaluation Required to Submit

This enhancement allows you to capture all program configuration data, especially related to recent new features.

Liaison Outcomes Enhancements

The following enhancements are now available in Liaison Outcomes. If you have any questions about these features, contact a member of your account team or support.

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

Outcomes Now Allows Global Data Restrictions

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.

When configuring roles, you can establish data restrictions that prevent users from seeing specific data points of your choice. With this enhancement, administrators and other users with the Manage Global Data Restrictions permission can establish data restrictions that apply to all other roles. For example, if you want to restrict all non-admin users in your organization from seeing race and ethnicity data, you can add the Race field as a global data restriction.

New My Application Review Filters Available in Segments

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.

While on the Applications Grid, you can use the Segment feature to isolate applications that match specified criteria. With this enhancement, two new criteria are available: My Completed Reviews and My Incomplete Reviews. These filters allow you to find applications that you have reviewed or are currently assigned to review.

Reformatted Outcomes Question Labels

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.

Question labels are reformatted to make application questions easier to identify when creating exports, segments, and data restrictions. This enhancement improves readability and accuracy when selecting these fields in Outcomes. Reformatted question labels will be rolled out to all CASs and Outcomes instances over the next few releases. Contact a member of your account team with any questions.

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2025

Requests due by November 1, 2024

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 data dictionary file.

Lookup table change requests can be sent to a member of your account team, who will compile and review these requests. The last date to submit lookup table update requests is November 1, 2024.

New lookup table values will appear in the CAS Applicant Portal in March 2025 (subject to change).

Visit the Shared Lookup Table Updates page for more information.
