Copy configuration settings and translation rules between prod and test
The ability to sync configuration settings between prod and test would be useful for anyone who is experimenting with broad changes to their configuration.
Banner - translate room code + building code into location name
Banner translates just the building code and combines it with room code currently; would like to translate the combination of building and room code into location name.
Add date exceptions to multiple extract sets at once
Make it easier to add duplicate date exceptions to multiple extract sets rather than having to recreate each one from scratch.
More Blatantly Differentiate Production LYNX from Test LYNX
I would like the differentiation displayed on the lynx settings/config page. Right now I have to make sure the "t" is in the address.
Use exclusion dates from SIS for date exceptions
The SIS can define holidays and other exclusion dates. Use those in addition to setting date exceptions in LYNX.
Specify date range for exceptions instead of individual dates
It is time-consuming to enter each date individually when adding exceptions to an extract set for a long break.
Prevent certain meeting pattern types from importing
If a class has multiple meeting patterns, sometimes one is off-campus or online and should not be imported. Request to filter those out by meeting pattern type.
Fine-tune academic priority settings
Only allow certain classes to trigger academic priority, such as by campus, subject code, or continuing education status
Add setup and takedown time per extract set rather than global setting
Some departments want extra setup and takedown times (like music) while others do not.
Use Criteria for always Shared Locations
We have naming conventions for most of our Locations that should always be shared. So it would be nice if we could use criteria as well as individual Locations to set ...
Allow configuration of Academic Priority email recipients by security group/folder
We have 19 campuses using 25Live and because the requestor and scheduler roles might be populated with general users who would overlook the "external" email, I set ...
Filter all data in LYNX based on institution code
Multi-institution deployments can have redundant names for subject codes and other things in the SIS. When a user logs in associated with a specific institution, ...
Import translation rules in bulk
Allow some method for adding/importing a large number of translation rules without having to go through the UI.
Recognize Continuing Education courses by Course Number
In the Continuing Education configuration settings, add an option to recognize CE sections by their course numbers.
Able to set rules to determine Locations to share.
This would be like creating an Data set for shared locations. We use naming conventions to identify these and are also considering setting them up with their own Room ...
Map Time Zone off of Location Code Rather Than Campus Code
This feature request is to give users the option to configure time zone based on location code rather than campus code.
Run import log search with Enter key
The Name Search field (aka Search by Keyword) should run when you press the Enter key on your keyboard after typing the name. I keep assuming this will work, and ...
Anthology - Support Perpetual Term Codes
Perpetual term codes in Anthology are not currently supported by LYNX -- this feature request is to add support for this functionality.
Expand the 'Add Category' Event Settings to Include Part of the Day
Add an option in the LYNX event configuration setting to add a category based on the 'part of the day' field in the SIS.
Calendar settings in LYNX
I am proposing that Lynx use whatever setting 25Live uses for date formatting and first day of the week, rather than have Lynx have a separate setting.
Translate Campus Code for text to add to Organization Name instead of Code
I do not want to translate the Subject Code but I would we do need to do that with the Campus Code. Everyone understands the Subject Code but only Banner users know ...
Add a search box to the View Translated Results window
When you have a lot of results to sift through, it would be nice to search/filter for what you are looking for.
More keyboard support for setting AM/PM when setting times
In date exceptions or exam creation rules, make it easier to change between AM/PM with the keyboard, eg pressing A or P.
Identify courses via course number in extract sets and continuing education
Create extract sets and flag sections as CE based on the start/end of their course number (not the same as section number)
Define start/stop times for automatic updates
Allow customization of when updates run and how often they run.
Allow more control over what shows up in the event name field
Let people customize things in the name field, such as what fields appear there and what delimiters separate them
Headcount - Sum Based on Meeting Type
Add the option to omit certain meeting types on bound sections from being summed (e.g., the lecture component of a bound section should be summed while the lab ...
