We have another exciting round of updates to share! These are on their way to you next week, and most will be live in all regions by the end of the day on Friday, March 4, 2022.
LibCal
- We've improved the user creation process, so you can now assign regular level user permissions when creating an account, and control more user assignments during the creation process.
- We've also added an option when creating a user to not send the "Welcome to LibCal" welcome message, if desired.
- We’re introducing new regular level user permissions, to help control whether regular level account holders can do things like: edit and cancel appointment booking info they haven't created, edit and cancel space bookings they haven’t created, and access space booking forms.

LibAnswers
- When replying to tickets, admins can now choose which of the 3 message tabs (Reply/Internal Note/Transfer) load by default on first page load.
- If a ticket reply has failed to send, the ticket will be reopened with an error tag, and a note will be added in the ticket answer page to indicate that an error occurred.
- We've moved the Ticket Action Log to a modal window, to help reduce the amount of vertical scrolling required when answering a ticket.
- Quality of Service: There is now a setting to limit the number of surveys sent to each user.

LibGuides/LibApps
- We've been hard at work on code housekeeping, and have restructured portions of the LibGuides code base in preparation for our very exciting upcoming plans for introducing a drag and drop page editor (!!!!!).
- We've started the process of updating LibGuides search indexing to a new indexing platform; in the coming weeks, as we transition to this new indexing platform, you'll see greatly improved search relevancy and quicker query load times in LibGuides search results.
