WebAdMIT Migration to Cloud

Postponed until early 2023 (updated from October 22, 2022)

Liaison is migrating WebAdMIT to the cloud. This exciting move provides an enhanced user experience that allows for greater scalability, faster response times, and improved security.

The migration will occur between October 22nd and 23rd and should not impact your access to WebAdMIT – you can continue to access WebAdMIT as you always have.

However, if you are exporting applications from the WebAdMIT API or sending data back into it using the WebAdMIT API, you may need to update your firewall rules as our IP addresses will change. Notify your IT team of this change so they can assess whether it will impact them.

Our new IP Address range will be:

  • 18.235.54.157
  • 44.210.56.37
  • 54.235.186.158

Please contact your account manager if you have any questions about this migration.

Sandbox Environment Refresh

Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2023

November 1, 2022

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 (located under the Help panel in WebAdMIT).

Lookup table change requests should be sent to your Account Manager, who will compile and review these requests prior to inclusion in the next lookup table update taking place this fall. The deadline to submit change requests is November 1, 2022. New lookup table values will appear in the Applicant Portal on March 6, 2023 (subject to change).

You can view the upcoming lookup value changes on the Shared Lookup Table Updates for Spring 2023 page.
