The Events feature in Outcomes allows you to create, review, and manage events related to your recruitment, admissions, enrollment, or other processes. Once you've begun publishing events, your registrants can view them using the Student Portal.
You can adjust the content and appearance of your Student Portal. To work with these settings, click Student Portal in the Organization section of the Settings menu. Review the information below to learn how each setting impacts your Student Portal.
To modify the web address of your Student Portal, use the Domain field. You can change this to a subdomain that your institution has directed to us (e.g., studentportal.yourschoolwebsite.edu), or any subdomain of .admissionsbyliaison.com or .liaisonoutcomes.com that is not currently in use.
Use the Browser Title field to adjust the text that appears as the page title for visitors to your Student Portal.
Use the Modules area to toggle on or off your Applications or Events modules. If either item is turned off, the corresponding feature will be unavailable for applicants to work with.
The Organization Display Name is the name that appears at the top left of your Student Portal Dashboard.
The Organization Website URL, Support Email Address, and Support Phone Number control what appears on the Contact Us panel of the Student Portal Dashboard.
When adding an image to appear on your Student Portal Dashboard, remember these guidelines:
Depending on the device that the Student Portal is viewed on, your dashboard image may display differently, as demonstrated below.
Use the Colors area to establish the colors you'd like to brand your Student Portal with. Enter the hex color codes that correspond with the branding colors of your choice. If the values you enter will result in a low color contrast between page elements, you'll see a WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) warning informing you of this.
Click Reset to Default to reset the color to the Liaison default.
Complete the Social Link Information area to add social media icons that link to the appropriate pages. Icons appear at the bottom right of the Student Portal homepage.
Edit your Terms and Conditions Message. This controls what appears when visitors to your Student Portal click Terms of Use when creating an account on the log in page.
Use this section to configure what appears in the Programs area of the Student Portal as seen below.
When an applicant has an account for your Student Portal, they can update their information on the My Profile page. In their profile, they have the option to add relationships. Here, they can enter the name and email address of another person (e.g., a parent or guardian) so that person becomes one of your contacts in Outcomes, allowing you to communicate with them.
The Relationships area on the Student Portal Settings page allows you to enable what type of relationships an applicant can add. To configure relationships here, you'll first need to add Contact Relationships to your Applicant Contact Type. To do this:
Once you've added this relationship, it will be available for you to enable in your Student Portal settings.
When an applicant registers on your Student Portal, they receive an email with guidance to help them activate their account. The layout and verbiage of these emails can be edited to meet your needs.
To update the text of the email that gets sent to new Student Portal registrants:
After updating this text, any new registrants will receive the updated version of your activation email.
To update the layout of the email that gets sent to new Student Portal registrants:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta content="UTF-8"> <title></title> </head> <body> <div class="content" style="border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px #ddd; margin: 0 auto; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; max-width: 800px; background-color: #f7f8f9; border-top: 5px solid #ADDCOLORCODE;"> {{{content}}} <div style="padding-bottom: 15px; padding-top:30px; color: #777;font-size: 75%; text-align: center;"> <p><i>Copyright 2023 {{organization.name}} | All Rights Reserved.</i></p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
Students can log in to your Student Portal by navigating to your web address and creating an account. Once they create an account, your account activation email is sent to them.
Student Portal accounts become locked after a number of failed login attempts. Once this happens, students can click Forgot Password on the sign-in page to unlock their account and establish a new password.
Depending on how many times the student has entered an incorrect password, the account lock may be temporary. In this case, students can continue to use their existing password after the lock has expired. Temporary locks may last up to an hour. After an excessive amount of failed login attempts, accounts are locked until the student resets their password.
