Release 6 – July 9, 2023

New Features and Enhancements

WebAdMIT Enhancements

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

Vertical Column Borders Throughout Entire Table

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.

The data within many of WebAdMIT’s panels are displayed in tables. With this enhancement, the vertical column borders display throughout the entire table. Previously, vertical column borders only appeared in table headers. This enhancement recreates some of the display formatting from the old user interface.

Previous table layout without vertical column borders

New table layout with vertical column borders

This enhancement was inspired by user feedback.

Updated CAS and Cycle Drop-down Sort Order

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 edit a user's account, the CAS and cycle selections under the Modify Assignments for Organization drop-down are now sorted in this order:

Cycle (most recent listed first)
CAS (sorted alphabetically)

This enhancement improves the readability and navigation of this drop-down.

This enhancement was inspired by user feedback.
