Here's a summary of the features and fixes included in the June 2019 Contensis software update.
Enhancements
Course page template
- Course page - promo row editing
These can now be edited centrally by localisation, customisable by academic level (UG, PGT, PGR, Summer School) and by campus (UK/Dubai). MOOCs and intercalated do not have promo rows.
- Unistats KIS widget
This is automatically added to the first tab of the course template if a UCAS code is supplied
- TEF logo on UG
This only appears on UG courses and is editable centrally by localisation
- UG/PG go live and preview
Localisations to go live/preview the UG/PG course templates separately
- Professional accreditation

- Fact file buttons on course template:

- White button (currently used for Open Day in UG template) is customisable by academic level and campus (UG, PG, Dubai) and editable centrally by localisation
- For apply button see below
- Apply button in course template fact file
This is editable from the course template:
- If 'source of apply URL' is 'apply URL' this button goes straight to the URL supplied
- If 'source of apply URL' is 'link to how to apply' this button goes to the 'how to apply' accordion
- If 'source of apply URL' is 'PG admissions' this button goes to the 'how to apply' accordion, where an 'apply' button appears that directs to the correct location in SITS. For this to work, the admissions code also needs to be supplied.
- If 'source of apply URL' is 'none', then no apply button appears
- Remove entry requirements strip for non-UG courses
Requirements strips (A-level, IB, BTEC) does not appear on other academic level courses, intercalated or graduate entry medicine
- Courses - delete tabs if there's no content
If there's no content supplied in a particular tab, the tab does not appear
- Register for updates link in course template
This is editable by localisation and customitable by academic level and campus
- Campus in fact file for Dubai
For Dubai courses, 'campus' appears in the fact file
- Teaching and assessment accordions - medicine
Added year 5 and placement year
- PGR research projects
Extra tab for PG research courses
- Additional html localisation
Optional extra html element that can be added to courses by academic level, centrally by localisation
- Web chats replaced by FAQs automatically
If no web chat info is supplied in the course template, this space in the contact strip is then occupied by FAQs, which can be edited centrally by localisation
- Clearing banner on UG course pages
Clearing banner can be switched on/off, centrally by localisation. This appears on all UG courses that have 'in clearing' ticked. Text for the banner and buttons, and links are customisable by whether the course is in international, home/EU clearing or both, and are editable centrally by localisation.
- Clearing banner on any page
Clearing banner can be added to any standard or level 2 page. Pages specified by localisation, and can have separate text and links to UG courses. Currently it cannot be added to courses of other academic levels.
- International entry requirements
International entry requirements drop down feature - information pulled automatically from the country pages
Pure and staff profile template
- PhD details to appear on PhD supervisor search control
There is now an option for PhD info in the staff profile template to be displayed on staff search results
- Pure styling stripped out
Any data pulled from Pure to staff profiles (or elsewhere on the website) has the styling stripped out automatically. This includes fonts and underlining, but not headings, italics and bold.
- Additional PG supervision field
There's now an additional PG supervision field on the staff profile template, which appears below the main PG supervision information. This could be used if PG supervision data is pulled from Pure, but we want to add generic information such as a call to action to multiple profiles from Contensis.
- Highlight and recent publications
Highlight publications from Pure are now displayed at the top of an academic's list of publications on their staff profile, if Pure integration is switched on and an ID (staff, Pure, ORCID) is supplied. Number of highlights and recent publications are editable via localisation, centrally.
- Staff listing control - PG supervision filter
The staff listing control in Contensis is now filterable by only staff who have information supplied in their PG supervision field on their staff profile.
Other
