Tarah Dykeman Oct 9, 2024Greetings Web Community!
We are pleased to share the following updates for our October 9 Sitefinity release, along with an important update regarding web analytics dashboards:
CU Anschutz Web Analytics Dashboards
Please be aware that CU Anschutz has implemented tighter security protocols for Looker Studio dashboards. If you are unable to access your department's dashboard, please email Scarlet.Bowen@cuanschutz.edu so that she can update your permissions. Dashboards will now be restricted to an individual's email address instead of shareable with a link.
Updates to Strategic Projects
- Search and filter content type: the new search and filter content type is available for select websites. This feature allows you to display information in a list, card, or accordion design with flexible content fields, search, and filter options. Our goal is to provide you with a robust content type that meets a variety of website editor needs for displaying information. Check out the new content type and email websitehelp@ucdenver.edu to let us know if you would like to use this widget with your website!
