Ever wished you could save a SAML connection before receiving vendor metadata? Or find out exactly why a roster record disappeared during preprocessing?
Both are now possible with recent ClassLink updates. And there's good news for districts exporting Analytics reports, too.
Here's what's new.
CMC: Save SAML connections before setup is complete
Still waiting on metadata from an app vendor? You don't have to put your entire setup on hold.
The updated SAML Console lets you save a connection before the vendor's metadata arrives, then come back and finish configuring it later.
You can also view legacy SAML connections from the new console, choose custom icons from Icon Builder, and see more complete SAML sign-in activity in your Digital Resource reporting.

Roster Server: Find out why records were removed
You've imported your roster data, but a student record is missing. Where did it go?
The Preprocessor now provides detailed removal logs that show exactly which layer removed a record.
You'll see information for Exclude Records, Delete Records, and Merge Collection layers. If user records were merged, the logs also identify which record was kept.
Instead of checking each layer individually, you can see where a record was removed and investigate the relevant configuration.

Analytics: More options for exporting reports
Need to send Analytics reports to a destination system? You now have more options for getting your data where it needs to go.
The updated HTTPS/API (previously HTTPS POST) export option supports basic authentication, bearer tokens, and custom headers. You can even test the connection before saving your settings. If something isn't working, Analytics shows the response status code to help you identify the problem.
And if a server error interrupts delivery? Analytics automatically retries the request.
