CAS Configuration Portal Enhancements
The following enhancements are now available in the CAS Configuration Portal. 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.
Program Attributes Report for Association Users
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.
Association users can now download program attribute data for all organizations and programs within a CAS and cycle from the CAS Configuration Portal. This allows association users to have a bird's eye view of all their participating programs' information and be able to review and filter data quickly and easily within a spreadsheet.
Note that this report only includes program attribute data (e.g., program name, deadline, fees, etc.). It does not include any program configurations for questions, documents, college transcripts, prerequisites, recommendations, etc.
To access this report, click the edit icon next to the cycle years, then click the Export button on the Organizations & Programs page.
