Some Blackboard instances retain and display courses for many months. Admins can limit the Blackboard courses displayed to a specified number of months. Enter the months you want to be displayed in the “Show Courses Accessed Within (months)” box. This new feature lets users see the last year or the current and last semester courses.   ![Blackboard connector](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blackboard%20connector.png?width=379&height=516&name=Blackboard%20connector.png) #### Banner 9 Connector Enhancement The Banner 9 Connector uses a G ID/number to connect Banner 9 courses to OneCampus. This enhancement allows admins to change the G ID/number attribute to any other attribute used by the institution. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [support@rsmart.com](https://www.onecampus.com/blog/support@rsmart.com) to enable the Banner 9 connector and provide the attribute that passes to the G ID/number. If access to Banner is needed, customers have to pass this attribute.   #### Calendar Connector Enhancement The feature for the new Calendar Connector allows admins to customize the default view for their users. Users can still change the calendar view if they wish. The default view displays the calendar for a week beginning on Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. The administrator enters the details in the connector in publishing.   ![calendar connector - January](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/calendar%20connector%20-%20January.png?width=1124&height=524&name=calendar%20connector%20-%20January.png) ![calendar connector front](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/calendar%20connector%20front.png?width=1280&height=506&name=calendar%20connector%20front.png)   #### Copy Connector Enhancement This feature allows administrators to copy Permission Groups from one tenant to another. Complete the details in the connector and choose Permission Groups from the dropdown. Click on the green Connect button to populate the list of Permission Groups available or choose “All” to copy all the Permission Groups from one tenant to another.   ![Copy Permission Groups OneCampus](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Copy%20Permission%20Groups%20OneCampus.png?width=1102&height=674&name=Copy%20Permission%20Groups%20OneCampus.png) ## Announcements #### Custom Global Announcement Headers The Announcement module has many new features. Administrators can customize the headers that are displayed above the carousel Global Announcements as well as the sidebar Global Announcements. Be sure to enable Global Announcements first in Advanced App Settings. Then go to Administration>Advanced>App Settings>Headings>Announcement Carousel Header and the Announcement Sidebar. The same Header can be used for both sections or different Headers for each location.   ![Announcement Headers](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Announcement%20Headers.png?width=2519&height=862&name=Announcement%20Headers.png)   ## Roles #### Role Assignment Map Enhancement The Role Assignment Map is available in Advanced App Settings. This tool allows Administrators to set a OneCampus role on user login based on SAML attribute value. This feature allows Administrators to map one SAML attribute to multiple roles like this below: ![Role Assignment Map](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Role%20Assignment%20Map.png?width=1440&height=498&name=Role%20Assignment%20Map.png) ## User Profile #### Username Displayed During a Stale Session Occasionally when users log in and out several times a day, a stale session could be displayed. Since the profile username is displayed, users think they are still logged in but are not. We removed the username displayed during a stale session to eliminate any confusion.   ## Permission Groups #### Using the Pages Permission in a Permission Group The Pages permission can be combined with the Publisher permission in a Permission Group. If the campuses or categories are restricted, the Pages permission also allows the Publisher permissions. Now the Pages permission maintains the restricted campuses and categories regardless of combining it with other permissions. ## Search #### Search Assist Available There was a search assist or preview available in OC1. That popular feature is back in OneCampus. Go to Advanced>App Settings>Search Appearance>Search Assist Enabled. ![Search Assist](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Search%20Assist.png?width=1143&height=216&name=Search%20Assist.png)   When typing in a search term, like Student Services, a preview box appears with the results.  #### ![Search Assist front](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Search%20Assist%20front.png?width=1876&height=817&name=Search%20Assist%20front.png) ## New Publishing Version 2 #### Task Support Updated in OC2 Publishing The Task Support module in Publishing has been updated to reflect the OC2 version enhancements. All updated modules in Publishing are shown in Bold. ![Publishing OC2 Updates](https://www.onecampus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Publishing%20OC2%20Updates.png?width=223&height=502&name=Publishing%20OC2%20Updates.png)   [Previous Post](https://www.onecampus.com/blog/2023-feb-onecampus-updates-0-0) [Next Post](https://www.onecampus.com/blog/onboard-new-students) ![](https://dc.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=31758&fmt=gif) ![](https://dc.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=31758&fmt=gif)
