[2025.3.0] - 2025-04-02
Added
Onity Card Encoding with MSR:
You can now use the MSR to issue Temp / Lockout cards and activate Aggie cards for rooms with Onity locks.
Note: This version supports card encoding only. The ability to read Onity cards with the MSR will be added in a future update.
Onity Client Status Indicator:
A new indicator in the top menu shows whether the Onity Client (Integra) is properly configured and connected. It checks for:
Presence of your PC in the list of authorized clients
Proper interface connection configuration
Responsiveness of the Onity Client itself
Green checkmarks indicate everything is working. Red "X" marks indicate a problem that needs attention.

Faster Searches: Significantly improved search performance through optimized queries and ability to select pre-configured date ranges.
Pre-configured Date Ranges: Easily select from common date ranges (Today, Yesterday, Last 3 Days, Last 7 Days, Last 14 Days) for faster searching.
Recent Events Option: If no events are found in the selected date range, an option to load recent events is available - particularly useful for locks that have been offline for a while.
Pre-configured Common Searches: Quick access buttons that automatically configure the parameters for frequently used searches:

Changed
Resident Lookup Page Redesign: The initial lookup page has been redesigned for improved usability:
Select Card Type: Choose the type of card you're working with:
Aggie & Temp Cards: For standard resident access using the SID.
Lockout Cards: Streamlined lockout card returns! Look up lockout cards by searching the Card Log for recent assignments, simplifying the return process.
No Card: For manual entry when a card isn't available.
Choose Input Method: Select how you want to enter the resident's information:
Keyboard or USB Reader: Type in the SID or swipe the card using the black USB reader.
MSR Encoder: Connect to the MSR and swipe to read cards.
Onity Encoder: Insert the card into the Onity encoder and click "Read Card."
Speed Indicators: Each input method is now labeled with an estimated speed (Fastest, Fast, Slow).
Contextual Instructions: Instructions are provided for each input method and card type.
Conference Events Redesign:
Wider Search Bar: The search bar for finding conferences and groups now spans the page width.
Conference Status: Conferences and groups will have color-coded status indicators (e.g., "Confirmed," "Live," "Cancelled"). A reference key is provided to explain the colors and their associated status.
Conference Sorting: You can now sort the list of conferences by Start Date or Name.
Group Selection: Group selection now displays additional information, including status and date ranges.
Link to StarRez: A link to the StarRez Event page for the selected conference.
Simplified URLs: The web addresses (URLs) for pages within the application have been simplified for easier navigation and bookmarking.
Library Updates:
Framework update from .NET 6 to .NET 8
Migration from Javascript to Typescript
Plethora of node packages to support the migration
Removed
Sync With Banner Encoding Override: The option to bypass track verification when syncing with Banner has been removed.
Cards must now have the invalid track data verified on them before encoding. This removal was done to ensure card data integrity and maintaining security standards for the campus since Aggie cards are used beyond the scope of Student Housing & Dining Services.
CCure: CCure was deprecated and no longer in use. All residents have been migrated to the Lenel system.
