Enhancements
New Update Image Feature
You can now update images for people and employees from their Summary pages. You can also update images for places, spaces, and suites from their pages in the Facilities hub.
Images must be in .jpg format, and there is no size limit for uploaded files.
Tip
Although there isn't an upload file size limit, images are saved to the size they are cropped to.
Click the Edit icon on the image placeholder next to the name to open the Update Image pop-up.
Note
Clicking the image placeholder opens the Update Image pop-up when you have the appropriate permissions. If you don't have update image permissions, or if you click the image placeholder for any other heading in the system, clicking the image placeholder does nothing. This is a change; click the name link to access the main page of the person, place, or item if you are on one of the subpages.
If you are updating an image for a person, you can choose where that image is displayed in J1 Web. If you are updating an image for a location, you can choose to make the image visible in Campus Portal for locations available in the Event Requests and Student features.
The following permissions have been added to the default System Administration Manager role and can be turned on or off for default and customized System Administration Manager roles.
Can update images for employees (on Employee pages)
Can update images for people (on Person pages)
Can update images for places
Can update images for spaces
Can update images for suites

New Notification Center and Message Center Changes
To prepare for the 2021.2 Communication Management release, a few changes to system messages and the Message Center are introduced with 2021.1.
Automated system messages such as changes to permissions or advising cycle milestones previously available in the Message Center are now known as notifications and available in the new Notification Center. Just like the Message Center, the Notification Center is available from the Universal Toolbar and includes several similar features:
View Details > options to view notifications in their entirety
Links to related information
Unread message indicators
Filter and sort options to help find notifications
Previously sent messages from the system or between you and another are now available in the new Message Archive (Communication Management, Message archive). This archive serves as a repository of any messages sent in a previous version of the software. You can see all the original information in messages you sent, received, or were included on from other users and the system. Filters help you find messages and links let you access more information.
