New Features and Enhancements

WebAdMIT Enhancements

Local Status Color More Prominent on Designations by Local Status Panel

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 your Account Manager for more information.

Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.

The Designations by Local Status panel on the Dashboard displays the Local Status color selection behind the full Local Status row. Previously, the color appeared next to the Local Status name. This enhancement recreates some of the display formatting from the old user interface and visualizes the Local Status color more easily.

SFTP Features in Prelaunch Environment

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 your Account Manager for more information.

Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.

SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) allows you to transfer export and report files from WebAdMIT to your institution's servers, such as a Student Information System (SIS), Slate, TargetX, Enrollment Marketing, or other SFTP servers. You can access the SFTP features, including the Schedule Manager and Destination Manager, in WebAdMIT’s prelaunch environment, a separate environment for testing features and new workflows. This enhancement allows you to test your SFTP configurations in the prelaunch environment before building them in the live production environment.
