May '24 Release Notes

This release includes enhancements for TX Forms and defect fixes for Applicant Dashboard, Application Review, Events, Online Application, Portal, and Retention.

An issue was identified in the May '24 Retention package. A new package has been released (2405.1) to address this issue:

  • (CL-2168) You can enter Advising records without needing Admin permissions. Previously, you needed to have Administrator permissions to select an Advising Type and submit an Advising record.

TargetX Enhancements

TX Forms

Base Version 2405.18

  • TX Forms includes an Application form type to allow for the creation of forms related to a student, their application, and any supporting objects of either. For more information, see Creating TX Forms.
  • TX Forms incorporates repeatable sections, allowing a single section to display multiple times to gather multiple records and streamline the building of TX Forms. For more information, see Creating TX Forms.
TargetX Resolved Defects

Applicant Dashboard (Version 2405.0)

  • (CL-2116) The Decision Viewed Date/Time field is only updated the first time a student views their Decision Letter. Previously, the Decision Viewed Date/Time field would update each time a user chose to view their Decision Letter.
  • (CL-2013) Application deadlines are accurately adjusted to accommodate the end of Daylight Saving Time. Previously, if a deadline fell after the conclusion of Daylight Saving Time, the system would inaccurately display the deadline.

Application Review (Version 2405.0)

  • (CL-1875) Application review permissions that revoke read access to the Applicant Name on the Application Review object are now respected. Previously, the applicant’s name would still be visible even after access was removed.

Events (Version 2405.8)

  • (CL-1883) When long comments are entered into a Custom Question, a message now indicates that the answer must be 255 characters or fewer. Previously, if a comment exceeded 255 characters, users would receive an 'upsert failed' error without any guidance.
  • (CL-2112) In Events Settings, you cannot select Master for the School Picker Record Types setting. Previously, setting the School Picker Record Types to Master caused the School Picker to return no results on Events forms.
  • (CL-2113) Recaptcha has been returned to Event TX forms and can be completed by all mobile users. Previously, when reCAPTCHA on mobile displayed the ‘select the images that contain <item> mode,’ the images did not appear correctly.
  • (CL-2118) The Location question in the Appointment Scheduler shows the correct location based on the person URL parameter. Previously, it showed multiple locations based on availability for the selected reason.
  • (CL-2127) Custom questions for events that exceed the mobile screen's length will now wrap the text. Previously, long custom questions required horizontal scrolling.
  • (PD-6500) The Student-facing Events Site displays text, logos, and alignment accurately. Previously, there were various formatting issues, including enlarged text and misaligned elements.

Online Application (Version 2405.0)

  • (CL-1961) Fields utilized in visibility conditions remain unaffected after saving the application. Previously, these fields would revert to their previous values after being updated.
  • (CL-2013) Application deadlines are now accurately adjusted to accommodate the end of Daylight Saving Time. Previously, if a deadline fell after the conclusion of Daylight Saving Time, the system would inaccurately display the deadline.
  • (CL-2072) When Prevent Multiple Applications is enabled in App Config, the Start a New Application button prohibits initiating a new application. Previously, clicking this button would redirect users to the Online App Home page and they could create a new application.
  • (CL-2084) Verification and Post Submission Page Content for Application Forms now maintains font formatting. Previously, customizing these pages did not retain font formatting.

Portal (Base Version 2405.18)

  • (CL-2013) Application deadlines are now accurately adjusted to accommodate the end of Daylight Saving Time. Previously, if a deadline fell after the conclusion of Daylight Saving Time, the system would inaccurately display the deadline.
  • (CL-2116) The Decision Viewed Date/Time field is only updated the first time a student views their Decision Letter. Previously, the Decision Viewed Date/Time field would update each time a user chose to view their Decision Letter.
  • (PD-5969) The application decision can no longer be reverted if the student is accepting an offer when the decision is changed. Previously, if a student logged in and the Application Decision was subsequently altered, their next login would revert to the previous value.

Retention (Version 2405.1)

  • (CL-1927) The Advising Category/Type picklist reflects both record type and controlling/dependent field dependencies. Previously, it only reflected the controlling/dependent field dependencies.

Known Issues

The following issues have been identified in TX Forms in the May ’24 release:

  • (PD-6557) When two different repeating sections on the same object contain the same field, TX Forms permits the addition of those duplicate fields, but saving the form is not possible.
  • (PD-6558) When building TX Forms, if a field is deleted without being in focus, the system highlights the preceding question, and it cannot be unhighlighted, impeding further edits on that question until the form is saved and reopened.
  • (PD-6559) When a student uses the reset button for a repeated section, the text area character count does not reset until the student begins typing in it again.
  • (PD-6560) In Events TX Forms featuring repeatable sections, the School Picker displays a longer picklist than usual.
  • (PD-6561) In certain rare situations which include repeatable sections with visibility conditions dependent on a Boolean field, the builder may crash when attempting to add another record.
  • (PD-6562) In certain rare cases when creating a question in a non-repeatable section and not mapping a field, and then clicking into a repeatable section, the builder can crash and display a white screen.
  • (PD-6563) When building TX Forms, when a picklist is assigned to a field on one object, and option groups are introduced based on a field from a different object as criteria, the criteria for the option groups will not appear until a question related to the first object is chosen.
  • (PD-6564) If you click the Registration button twice while trying to sign up for an event using a TX Form, it displays an error, but the registration otherwise continues normally.
  • (PD-6565) If a user encounters a Salesforce validation error while filling out a TX Form, they are required to refresh the page to submit the form.
