Subject: Inspire release 5/22/2020
Good afternoon,
Starting Friday, May 22, 2020 Inspire will have some changes as a result of an update.
Additional information is provided below.
• Update Title
o Walk-In Appointments and Calendar Improvements
• Reason for the Update
o From Civitas – “We are improving how advisors create and show walk-in hours
availability by implementing a new tab within the Calendar to create walk-in hours just
like advisors can already do for scheduled advising slots. We’re also improving how we
record the modality of an appointment to better account for all of the ways that students
meet with advisors. Students will be able to see the distinction between appointments they
need to sign up for and walk-in hours for drop-in appointments. There is also enhanced
reporting to capture the types of interactions students have with their advisors.”
• What will change?
o See attached document.
o The update will be released directly to production which means we will not be able to
test the functionality of the update until after it occurs. We will provide you with the
UTSA protocol and how to instructions next week.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please let us know if you have any
questions.
Respectfully,
Angie
