LibInsight has seen some exciting updates this fall!

• We’ve added a “bundles” setting to the COUNTER 5's Cost Invoice. This is a great option if you're looking for a way to not add costs to individual journal titles that are part of a bundled subscription package.
• You can now hide fields in the Record Custom Dataset screen. These hidden fields will still show up in the analysis reports just in case you want to keep or see the legacy data, but they won't appear in the record data screen.
• We've added support for Google Analytics 4 in our Google Analytics dataset. You can select whether you want to use the old Universal Analytics or the new Google Analytics 4 in the Google Analytics dataset setup screen.
• We've also updated both our dashboard and custom dataset from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4. 
• There are now more ways to query your Custom dataset in the Analysis tool with our expanded date range filter.

The LibConnect team has had a busy fall so far! 

• Our new dashboard contains dedicated tabs for News and Tutorials, so you can get all the latest product news plus our extensive tutorial content right from the dashboard.
• We've introduced new customizable system notifications. Set up your preferred email notifications for events related to People, Organizations, Interactions, Emails, Projects, Tasks, and Reports. 
• We've overhauled LibConnect Reports. We've added new filters for all the modules, improved the way to find and apply custom fields filters, replaced Memberships and Relationships filters for Connections, and included all data fields available in the report results.
• We've updated the process for managing unmatched system emails by adding a new tab to the interactions page for "Needs Review." This tab is only visible to Admin level users, and it displays the list of unmatched system email interactions.
• We've created a Page Setting to allow you to show or hide any of the different modules that make up the LibConnect Dashboard to better suit your unique needs.
• We added the ability to schedule reports so they can be generated and exported automatically on the date selected.

Here's what's new in LibStaffer:

• We've modified the ordering of shifts on the public side schedule view to match the admin side schedule view.
• We've added an account level setting to allow users to choose whether they receive the drop shift assignment emails.

• The new LibCal Museum & Passes eTickets functionality is coming soon! This feature, combined with the Equipment Booking module, creates a robust Lending Hub for your Library. Join us for a sneak peek on Wednesday, November 30th at 1pm ET to learn more. 
• We're hard at work on revamping the process of booking Spaces and Equipment, with a goal of making the booking process much more mobile friendly, and less reliant on the availability grid. Keep an eye out in the coming months for more announcements and previews for these exciting changes!

Important updates, coming soon!

• We're hard at work on revamping and overhauling the A-Z module, to bring you a more powerful and flexible A-Z resource management tool! We're looking forward to introducing a fully refreshed public A-Z databases page, plus the ability to maintain multiple A-Z lists per LibGuides CMS site. We're also working on a whole host of frequently requested features including a dedicated landing page per database, nested subject categories for better resource descriptions, expanded field support, and so much more.

LibInsight has some new features on the horizon!

• Bootstrap 4 updates:
  • The LibInsight Dashboard pages (Admin and Public) will be updated to Bootstrap 4. To help folks who use custom CSS and JS on their public dashboards prepare for the changes, we've added a "Preview with Bootstrap 4" link in the Dashboard Editor so you can prep for the change ahead of time.
  • The Custom / Shared datasets record screen will also be updated to Bootstrap 4 in an upcoming release.
