Release 3 – April 6, 2025

Improve Readability of Essay, Personal Statement, and Infractions Answers

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 application includes questions where the applicant can provide a lengthy response, such as essays, personal statements, etc. It can be difficult to read these answers in the Applicant Details page because of the font size, placement, etc.

To improve readability, you can now view these answers in a new window after you click the answer link. You can also increase or decrease the answer font size, resize the window, and move it around your screen. This new functionality appears in the Essay, Personal Statement, and Infractions panels.

Updated Email Editor

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 Email editor has been refreshed with updated functionality. These include:

• Increased editor window size for more visibility of the email body.
• New fonts, header styles, justified text alignment, and more background and text color options.
• A new Reset formatting button to quickly revert text back to plain text.
• New window for links with the option to edit and unlink the URL.
• All links open in a new tab by default.
• Dynamic image sizing.
• Title and alt text for images for 508 compliance.
• Custom Field merge fields reflect the order on the Custom Field Manager page.

Some functionality has been altered or removed, including:

• You must now enter HTML attributes for email and phone links. For example, you must enter "mailto:" before an email address to make it a link (e.g., mailto:gradadm@demo.edu).
• The default URL protocol is http://; if you want a different URL protocol, you must now manually enter it before the URL (e.g., https://demo.edu).
• Recent background and text color history reduced from six to one recently used colors.
• You can no longer link to anchor in the email body.
• You can no longer apply a border or spacing to an image from within the email editor. You must format your image in another software first before you upload it in WebAdMIT.

Create and Schedule SFTP Jobs for Only Current and Preceding Cycle

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 order to optimize the performance of WebAdMIT's export infrastructure, you can only schedule exports, reports, and PDF Manager jobs for your CAS's current and preceding cycle. For cycles before the preceding one, you can view disabled jobs and associated logs, but you cannot schedule or create new jobs.

In all cycles, you will continue to have access to all your exports, reports, etc., and you can run those individually through the applicable feature.
