IT Center Changes

Improvements and bug fixes:

• Toasts for notifications have been improved, e.g., after deleting favorites, so that you can now “hold” them and they do not disappear immediately
• If you go to a page such as the calendar without being logged in to the app (without SSO login), you will now be redirected back to that page after completing the login process (previously, you were redirected to the dashboard).
• In Moodle:
  • for assessments, the maximum achiveable score is now also displayed
  • in the download center, labels were previously displayed as files that could be downloaded; this was not desired and they are no longer displayed.
• Minor color adjustments
