Multiple Event Types
Following an increasing number of requests over the previous academic year, we have update Events on UnionCloud to allow them to be tagged as part of multiple different categories. This aids a number of users in the way they advertise events and want to group certain types of events together, meaning they are no longer restricted. For example if you wanted to put a particular Club Night in a Freshers Category, as well as a Nightlife category then now you could.
If you wish to carry on using the system the way it used to work, you simply just select one category the way you always have.
- This was an enhancement.

Related Articles / Resources
This is something that has always been a part of our plan, and we've finally had some time to implement it. As you can see from the screenshot opposite, so long as you give all of your Articles and Resources tags, when a user reaches the end of the article and selects a tag, it will take them to the Articles or Resources index and show all other articles or resources matching that same tag.
- This was an enhancement.

Details in Remote Sales
A number of users had reported to us that they had difficulty establishing the details of the user when looking them up in the Remote Shop. This wasn't so much of a problem with a union was scanning a student card, but if a Union was required to type in the email address of a user who turned up at a counter, to look up their student account, sometimes when they would dictate an email address, phonetically similar letters could cause confusion. For example if a user email address was mno123@institution.ac.uk It is easy for a user to hear the incorrect letter given how phonetically simiar they are. The problem was compounded by the fact that when an administrator pressed search it returned the user email address.
We have now updated this to return the Users Name and Email Address, meaning the administrator can clarify the users identity before continuing.
- This issue has been resolved.

Last Updated Date - APIs
As part of a recent integration many of the UnionCloud API's now contain a "updated_at": field, which is updated with a timestamp any time the record is modified.
Benefits of this include the ability to include new attributed in search parameters, like so;
| Attribute | Usage |
|---|---|
| updated_date_from | "search updated_at greater than updated_date_from date" |
| updated_date_to | "search updated_at less than updated_date_to date" |
An example response <codeblock> {
"meta": {
"Summary": {

"Failure": 0,
"Success": 1

},
"data": [

"id": "ASD2",
"uid": 1517693,

"updated_at": "23-08-2017 12:06:47"
}
]
