Release 11 – December 8, 2024

New Features and Enhancements

CAS Applicant Portal Enhancements

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

Updated Detailed Military Status Question

This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs and participating programs using the detailed Military Status question. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.

Some CASs include a detailed Military Status question (i.e., asking the applicant if they have military experience and any applicable details such as branch, dates served, etc.) in the Other Information section. With this enhancement, if an applicant selects Not a member of the military when indicating their military experience, all additional questions (e.g., branch, dates served, etc.) are hidden. Previously, these additional questions appeared but were optional. This enhancement removes potential applicant confusion and incorrect data collection.

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

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.

New Limited Event Registration Toggle

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 events in Outcomes, you can establish multiple occurrences in an event series. With this enhancement, a new Enable Limited Registration toggle is available in an event's publishing options. When enabled, your audience can only have one active registration in any of the occurrences of the event series. This prevents them from registering for multiple occurrences of an event. If enabled, this option cannot be reversed once an event has registrants.

Enhanced Assignment Rule Functionality

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.

Reviewers can be assigned to applications manually, via assignment rules, or via automation. Previously, reviewers who were assigned via assignment rules were not visible in the Assign menu on an application record. With this enhancement, automatically assigned reviewers are now visible in that menu, and the following buttons are available:

  • Run Rules: this button appears on the Phases page for any Phase that is associated with an evaluation form. When you click this button, the assignment rules that you established in the Phase are applied immediately. If no assignment rules are in place, existing assignments that were added automatically are cleared.
  • Rerun Assignment Rules: this button appears in the Assignments window (accessible via the three-dots menu) on application records that are currently in a phase with an associated evaluation form. When you click this button, any assignment rules that impact the application record you are working with are applied immediately.

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2025

March 2025

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. 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.
