Kuali Ready Admin Newsletter- February 2017

Welcome to the Kuali Ready Admin Newsletter. This newsletter will keep you informed of product updates and community news and events.

Community News

We have completed our first round of user interviews! These interviews focused on learning more about how you measure your resiliency and how we can support you in your work. Many thanks to the participants:

• Keith Perry, StanfordLaurie Friedman, Stanford
• Beverley Wyatt, Ohio University
• Courtney Shaw, University of Texas, Dallas
• Catherine Gottlieb, Cal State Long Beach
• Cindy Mohat, University of Texas, Arlington
• Cinda Haff, Indiana University
• Matthew Hart, Tufts University

We had so many wonderful ideas come to light. We will be doing another round of testing soon; this time users will be testing our designs for new features. Keep an eye out for that invitation in the second quarter.

Works in Progress

Reports

Based on user feedback, we will be exploring an alternative to our existing reports. If you haven't already, please share your thoughts on this feature by taking a 2-minute survey here. Your input is valuable and will inform our decision! 

User Attributes

We are working on mapping additional user attributes for Shibboleth users including Title and Department. This will allow you to extract that information from your system of record and have it automatically update each time a user logs in to Ready. We will also allow you to manually edit fields that are not stored in your system of record.
