IT Center Changes

Introduction of labels for organizations. This reflects faculty affiliation.

Introduction of the SelfCare area in the RWTH Person Directory.

CSV download of people and objects on the respective overview page

Improved workflow when adding individual people to the organization

Improvements in error messages (discrepancies in display names)

Improved loading of the modal for selecting an organization

The menu item Vacant Campus Assignments has been removed. The migration of the data has been completed. In the menu item Display, all people/objects that are not assigned to a caption are listed as a note. When adding people/objects to captions, people/objects without a caption are displayed first.

Downloading person contacts as a vCard is possible. Headings are displayed on the person details page. A print view has been implemented. The linking of organizations and highlighting of people in the person search and in the person detail pages has been improved. The display on mobile phones has been improved.

Profile image upload in RWTHcontacts is possible.

Starting on April the 3rd, 2024, the IT Center will conceal entries in the menu “Vacant Campus Assignments”. These will then no longer be displayed on RWTHcontacts and the connected systems (RWTH intranet, CMS institute websites, …).
On April 24th, 2024, the entries in the menu “Vacant Campus Assignments” will be deleted. This procedure is absolutely necessary, as this is the only way to clean up the data in the new RWTH Person Directory taken from the old CAS CAMPUS directory, which has been switched off.
Organization administrators must therefore adjust the entries in the menu “Vacant Campus Assignments” in the RWTH Person Directory in order to ensure a correct external presentation of their organization. Organization administrators are role owners of the “Organization administration” role. This role is available to all organizations in the IdM role administration.

Apart from adding wildcards to the people search, the display of internal DECT numbers of the university clinic has been finalized. These can be displayed for and by university clinic organizations.

The person search has been expanded in RWTHcontacts: Several pieces of information about a person are displayed together. The person directory has received a UI update and has been adapted to the design of RWTHcontacts.

The status of organizations can now be recorded in the organization directory. In addition, entered URLs and e-mail addresses are validated.
