Here are some exciting yet important product updates our Product and Engineering teams have made to your uConnect platform recently:
AI Search
- AI Search now correctly distinguishes between graduate and undergraduate outcomes data on sites with multiple programs, returning the right salary and employment figures for each
- Added a setting that lets institutions choose to display only percentages (rather than raw headcounts) in outcomes answers, giving schools more control over how data is presented
- The top-of-page search bar can now be configured to launch AI Search, giving students a more prominent way to find it
- The AI Search launcher icon can now be customized
Platform & Site Administration
- Relaxed domain restrictions when importing non-admin users who already exist on other sites, unblocking bulk employer and alumni imports
- Added real-time platform status notifications in the admin dashboard so site admins are aware of any incidents or maintenance
Accessibility
- Added a visible focus outline around the navigation menu to provide a hint to keyboard-navigating users that the navigation menus use a roving tabindex
- Improve UI & keyboard navigation for complex navigation menus that have alternate styles (e.g. subpanel)
