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
