Managing Platform Settings

This section will walk you each section of the Platform Settings to understand each control.


Account Creation and Management

  • SSO Claim Overrides Email- controls whether or not the email provided through SSO claims overrides the account email at the time a student logs into a CampusLogic application
    • If enabled, the account email will always be overridden to the email given within the claims. This occurs each time a student comes into a CampusLogic application - their account email will update to the email given within the claims. It should be enabled if the institution wishes to manage which email address notifications are sent to.
    • If disabled, the account email will be set to what is provided in the user's SSO claims if an email is not already set in the user profile. It will not override an already given email. It should be disabled if the institution wants to allow students to manage which email address notifications are sent to.
  • Allow Student ID Editing - controls whether the Student ID field shows on the Create Account and Register Student screens in the UI. This determines if the Student ID field is editable or not by the student on those screens and in their Profile screen.
  • Require Student ID - requires student to provide a Student ID number during account registration. This setting is only available to organizations that use Direct Sign On (DSO). This setting will not show in environments where Single Sign On (SSO) is enabled.
  • Hide Student ID - hides the Student ID from the student in the UI (i.e., generated PDFs, etc.)
  • Required Student Email Domains - restricts the email domains to a school domain (e.g., myschooldomain.edu) that can be used by a student when creating an account. When this field is blank any email domain may be used (i.e., Yahoo, Gmail, etc.)
  • Required School Email Domains - restricts the email domains to a school domain (e.g., myschooldomain.edu) that can be used by a school user when creating an account.

  • Allow User Switching - controls the display switch in the profile menu to allow a user who is both a student and school employee to switch between the two roles; both user types must be using the same username
  • Employee Session Timeout - controls the amount of time a school employee can be inactive in any application before the application auto-logs them out
  • Donor Session Timeout - controls the amount of time a donor user can be inactive in any application before the application auto-logs them out
  • Student Session Timeout - controls the amount of time a student can be inactive in any application before the application auto-logs them out
  • Parent Session Timeout - controls the amount of time a parent can be inactive in any application before the application auto-logs them out
  • Employee Maximum Session Length - controls the maximum amount of time a school employee can be logged into the same session in any application
  • Donor Maximum Session Length - controls the maximum amount of time a donor user can be logged into the same session in any application
  • Student Maximum Session Length - controls the maximum amount of time a student can be logged into the same session in any application
  • Parent Maximum Session Length - controls the maximum amount of time a parent can be logged into the same session in any application
  • Logout Redirect URL - controls redirect navigation to the URL entered when a user logs out; if left blank, DSO users will navigate back to the login page, SSO users navigate to a splash page

Data-File Import

Award Letter

  • Create Anonymous Link to Document - this control enables/disables the use of an Anonymous Link in the email template, which directs the student to their HTML template
  • Document Expiration (in days) - controls how many days an Anonymous Link is active to allow a student or other use to view the letter. Once expired, the link will take the student to an expiration page
  • Check for Duplicate Records - the control is available to potentially stop a student record from reprinting, in the case that a file may be uploaded twice, the student is brought into two separate files, etc.
