File Upload Notification

As a Union Adminstrator, the user who has performed a File Upload will receive an email containing the Success/Failure message for the given file uploads, and also attached is a copy of the File Upload with any failures so that they can be amended.

Hi <user_forename> <user_surname>,

Just to let you know that the file [<<file name>> (<<file_id>>)] you uploaded to UnionCloud has now been processed. All records have been uploaded and amended where appropriate apart from those contained in the file attached to this email. Please can you take a look at each of the records, note and resolve the error message associated with each one, then once fixed resubmit the record(s) so they can be processed again. If you have any difficulties or would like any more information please contact the UnionCloud Helpdesk.

Thanks,
The UnionCloud Team

Student Profile Info Overide

As an administrator, if you allow a student to update their Profile Updates fields, if the university provide an update which doesn't match, the information the student has set manually will override what the university sends.
The reasoning for this is for example if people have preferred names, or for example in the case of a Trans student, if they have changed name, but haven't yet informed the university, then the university could change their name back in UnionCloud via data transfer to their 'Dead Name'.
As such some of these fields you may want to carefully lock down for example, although you may want to allow them to change their name, you may not want them to change their Course End date, something which in most cases should only be set by the institution.

• This was an enhancement.

Stop Uploads to Union level groups

This was an issue created as a work around during elections many years ago on UnionCloud whereby we allowed unions to upload users directly to union usergroups specifically to vote. The UnionCloud platform has come a long way since then with vast improvements to both Elections and File Uploads. As such we have removed the ability to upload users directly into UnionLevel usergroups as Students.

To add students you they should be uploaded to Confirmed Students, at which point you can add users to specific custom usergroups.

UX of Onboarding

Some updates to Registration Workflow to improve user experience;

• Removed Excess links from the 'Email already in use!' Error page
• When user tries to login with account already on site but not completed registration, now user gets to complete profile instead of an error
• Removed old Captcha and Replaced with reCaptcha, the service provided by Google.

Hopefully reCaptcha makes live easier for users, and improves ease of use for the platform, ideally users will just need to select the I'm Not a Robot checkbox, however if the software is unable to automatically detect if the user is a real person or a robot, it will provide a series of images for the user to identify, which is much easier to process than the old fashioned distorted text Captchas.

US2871

QueueIt Integration

We have introduced a piece of software on UnionCloud called QueueIt, this software will handle aspects of the UnionCloud site that experience particularly heavy load at peak times of year, think tickets for; Freshers; Varsity; Summer Ball etc. If the UnionCloud platform experiences extremely heavy load users of these peak sections of the website will be redirected to a Queue to buy their tickets as seen in the screenshot opposite. It means that the platform will remain stable and also that Users trying to access other areas of the site will be able to continue as normal.

You can find out more about QueueIt here Details

• This is an enhancement

US2839

Expire Halls Membership

Previously halls data was stored indefinitely, so if a student was assigned to a Hall of Residence in Year 1, but the institution did not provide data on the student address for where they were living subsequently, they would retain the original data, we've now added a setting which will allow a Union Administrator the ability clear all Hals data on an annual basis.

Scan Student ID on Redeem Ticekts

This section has been updated to now take now just Student ID, but a students Library Card also, this update has changed the Bootstrap field to automatically post the data when it is filled correctly, meaning if the Search field is the active box, and you use a Barcode Scanner / RFID Reader etc. As soon as the field is populated with data in the correct format it will search, meaning redeeming by scanning a Student ID/Library card just got that much easier.
