Release 10 – November 4, 2025

New Features and Enhancements

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.

New Email Activity Viewing Permissions

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.

In Outcomes, you can review email activity by going to the Activity section of the Navigation Menu and clicking the Emails tab. This log includes a record of all emails sent from the Applications Grid, Contacts Grid, or from individual application or contact records. With this enhancement, two new permissions have been added to manage which roles can see the email history:

  • See Contact Email Activity
  • See Application Email Activity

If these permissions are enabled for a role, all users in that role can see emails sent to contacts or applicants, respectively. Where applicable, you can also click on the emails from the Activity page to review their related summary, recipients, and engagement information.

Admissions Notes Now Appear as Banners

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.

Occasionally, Liaison staff may add notes to a CAS application to inform you of issues with the application or changes to its status. These notes now appear as banners at the top of applications in Outcomes.

CAS ID Available as Unique Identifier for Contact Imports

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.

If you receive applications through a national CAS, Outcomes now has the option to make CAS ID the unique identifier when importing contacts. This prevents duplicate contact creation if an applicant changes their email address. Previously, if a contact with a CAS application changed their email address, Outcomes would create a duplicate contact during automated imports. With the addition of CAS ID as a unique identifier, applicants will be correctly matched to their application.

To configure this, edit your import from the Application Import Sources in the Import/Export section of the Settings Menu. From the Data Mapping section, add the CAS ID as a mapped property, and map it to DataSourceIdentifier.

Preview Your Programs

About 40% of applicants complete their application on a mobile device; with this in mind, you will want to preview your program in a mobile layout so that you can confirm your instructions are easy to scan and read on a mobile device. Review this article for some best practices and tips for previewing your program configurations in a mobile layout.

Add Pixel Tracking

Many institutions using CAS or other Liaison products and services invest in digital marketing to attract and convert prospective students. One of the most effective ways to improve these efforts is by enabling pixel tracking on the CAS Applicant Portal.

Review our updated article on how to set up pixel tracking via the CAS Configuration Portal.

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2026

March 2026

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 2026 (subject to change).

Visit the Shared Lookup Table Updates page for more information.
