New Features and Enhancements
Cross-Portal Enhancements
Liaison's suite of portals work together to help you collect and manage applications. The CAS application, also referred to as the CAS Applicant Portal, is the system where applicants find and apply to your programs. You receive these applications in WebAdMIT or Liaison Outcomes, where you perform your review processes. The appearance of your program and your requirements are customized in the CAS Configuration Portal, where you establish the program-specific elements that your applicants will interact with. Additionally, your program may use one or more of the following tools and platforms:
- API: a data integration tool.
- CAS Applicant Gateway: a platform for applicants who have already submitted their CAS application to complete and upload additional materials requested by their programs.
- CAS Liaison Analytics and Othot: advanced analytics solutions and data reporting tools.
- CAS Liaison Letters: a platform for evaluators to submit their letters of recommendation.
- Enrollment Marketing and TargetX: customer relationship management (CRM) systems for student lifecycle management.
- Living Profile: a platform where students can connect their academic pursuits with their career aspirations.
- SlideRoom: a platform for collecting digital portfolios.
- Time2Track: a platform for tracking, verifying, and managing experiences.
Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.
Recommendation Questions with Multi-Select Answers and Comments Supported in CASs Using WebAdMIT
For CASs using WebAdMIT, this enhancement must be approved by the CAS association or UniCAS client for use in the next cycle. If activated, this enhancement will be available for all participating programs in the next cycle. CAS association and UniCAS clients: contact a member of your account team for more information or to enable this feature.
In January 2024, Liaison Letters supported creating recommendation questions with multi-select answers and allowed recommenders to add comments on multi-select answers for CASs using Liaison Outcomes. With this enhancement, CASs using WebAdMIT can now use these features. This allows any CAS to use the full functionality of question types in Liaison Letters.
Liaison Letters
Recommenders can select multiple answers for recommendation questions and add comments.
WebAdMIT
You can access all multi-select answers and comments on the Applicant Details page and the Evaluations report in the Report Manager. If you have multiple answers and comments in the report, the answers are separated by the pipe (|) delimiter in the same cell.
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.
Foreign Evaluation Requirement Status Updated in Check Status Tab
This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs that process CAS-level foreign evaluations. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.
Previously, for CASs that set their foreign evaluation requirement at the CAS-level and accept foreign evaluations but do not require them for applicants to move into the Complete application status, the transcript status was Not Arrived on the Check Status tab. With this enhancement, the transcript status is renamed to Check Program Requirements. This encourages applicants to confirm if their programs require foreign evaluations; if they do, applicants can still request their foreign evaluations through the CAS and have them shared with all their programs.
Updated WES Logo and Link
This enhancement is automatically available for use by all CASs that have an electronic WES integration. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. Contact a member of your account team for more information.
CASs can partner with World Education Services (WES) to receive electronic foreign evaluations. Applicants can then request their WES evaluations within the application. With this enhancement, the WES logo and website link to request their evaluation have been updated to reflect WES's current branding.
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.
Improved Editing and Adding Answer Sets to Conditional Answer Options Rule
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 Conditional Answer Options rules, you can now add new answer sets and make edits to existing answer sets in the same session by clicking the new Apply button when saving a new answer set. Previously, if you made these changes in the same session, your new answer set was deleted. This enhancement ensures you have data accuracy in the question change workflow.
WebAdMIT Enhancements
The following enhancements are now available in WebAdMIT. 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.
Menu Bar and Page Header Remain Within Easy Access
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 you scroll down a page in WebAdMIT, the Menu Bar on the left and the page header (which includes the Dashboard and Account links and the cycle switcher) at the top of the page now remain within easy access. Previously, the Menu Bar and page header were static on the page and would disappear when you scrolled down.
Potential Applicants (In Progress) Search Page Includes Columns for Application Status and Local Status
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.
For CASs that have partial (i.e., limited) viewing rights of In Progress applicants, the Potential Applicants (In Progress) search page now includes Application Status and Local Status columns. This gives you more immediate access to key applicant data points within the search table.
Updated Liaison Analytics Link
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 2025 Release 6, the Analytics by Liaison link was renamed Liaison Analytics to align with the new product name, and the link changed to the Liaison Analytics Help Center. With this enhancement, the Liaison Analytics link goes to https://analytics.liaisoncas.com/analytics/ui/login for a seamless transition between WebAdMIT and Liaison Analytics.

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Fall 2025 |
September 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. The last date to submit lookup table update requests was June 13, 2025. New lookup table values will appear in the CAS Applicant Portal in September 2025 (subject to change). Visit the Shared Lookup Table Updates page for more information. |
