Cookie Banner in the FIS
- Enhancement: An update to the new cookie banner has been introduced with the banner now working across all products and regions with a link added in the footer to allow you to update your preferences. For more information on our use of Cookies please refer to our Cookie Notice page.
Review, Promotion & Tenure
- Fixed: We resolved an issue in the case creation process that occurred when using a template containing only the FAR Vita with no additional packet requirements. Administrators and Template Administrators can now once again adjust the vita term ranges during case creation.
- Fixed: We fixed an issue on the case list where sorting cases by ‘Template name’ produced an error. The cause of the error was removed and users can successfully sort again.
- Enhancement: Administrators have reported confusion when editing case review steps and academic levels on templates and cases. Currently, selecting ‘Manage Academic Levels’ causes users to lose sight of the specific step they are editing. To address this, we now display the full case review step name in the breadcrumb navigation, providing clearer context and making the editing process more intuitive for users on cases and templates.
Faculty Activity Reporting
- Fixed: We fixed an issue that was preventing the Edit History Report from displaying relevant data in Vita Builder. Users will now be able to see changes to Vita Builder templates captured in this report as expected.
