All Modules

• Enhancement - Email Links: We updated our outbound email configuration to remove email click-tracking. This change means all emails from Interfolio will contain only direct HTTPS links and has no impact on email delivery, bounce notifications, or other email functionality.
• Enhancement - SFTP Security Policy: Our SFTP security has been upgraded to AWS's TransferSecurityPolicy-2024-01, strengthening supported encryption and SSH security standards. This change does not affect SFTP hostnames, usernames, passwords, SSH keys, folder paths or file processing behavior. Below is the list of the clients that meet this new security level:

Dossier

• Fixed: We resolved an issue where downloading a paid invoice receipt from the Billing section of Account settings would fail. The download was attempting to retrieve the receipt from the wrong server, causing the request to error out and the file to not download. Users can now successfully download paid invoice receipts from their account billing history.

Faculty Search

• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FS where recommendation request emails sent to letter writers contained a blank subject line. Recommenders received emails with "No Subject" instead of the expected subject line, causing confusion and negatively affecting the letter request experience. The subject line now appears correctly when recommendation requests are sent from an applicant file within a position.
• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FS where position activity logs incorrectly attributed automated actions, such as a position being published, to an unrelated user. No unauthorized access occurred; only the displayed attribution in the activity log was incorrect. Position activity logs now correctly show accurate users when actions trigger log submissions. 
• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FS where the applicant search field in the Close Position workflow was case-sensitive, causing searches to return no results when the entered name did not exactly match the stored capitalization. Administrators adding applicants while closing a position can now search by name regardless of capitalization and see the expected results.

Review, Promotion & Tenure

• Enhancement - New Case List: To match the Templates page, RPT Case List page was redesigned for better performance and usability, with searchable and sortable columns, filters, and layout improvements. The Case List is available with today’s release and the following help articles are updated with the new UI:
  • Create a Case From a Template
  • Close, Reopen, or Delete a Case
  • Manage Case Statuses
  • Move Case Forward or Backward
  • Notify a Candidate of Their Review 
• Fixed: We resolved an issue where Candidates were seeing duplicate answers on their packet forms. There was a bug when the user clicked ‘Return to Packet’ instead of ‘Save Responses’ that resulted in duplicate responses displaying in the Reader. This issue is resolved and answers are appearing once as expected.
• Fixed: We fixed an issue where deleted Candidate Form responses were not appearing on the RPT Forms report. When a form is deleted, it should no longer be available for use in future templates or cases, but all existing responses in Open or Closed cases should remain available via reporting.
• Fixed: We resolved a follow up issue with allowing cases to be closed that were created from a now archived template.
• Fixed: We fixed a follow up issue related to when users could take action outside of their assigned workflow permissions, resulting in incorrect case access and progression. Workflow transitions could occur out of sequence, activity logs did not always reflect the correct order of actions, and in some cases the final case step did not align with the last recorded action.
• Fixed: We resolved a follow up issue from the last release with character limit errors in RPT text boxes. Text boxes should be working as expected again with a 12k character limit.

Faculty Activity Reporting

• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FAR where Vitas exported to PDF did not match their on-screen layout. Sections using the tabular display style were compressed into roughly half the page width in the exported PDF, leaving large unused margins and reducing readability, even though the same Vita displayed correctly in the UI and in Word exports. Tabular sections now render across the full page width in PDF exports, matching the Vita Builder preview. This restores clean, professional formatting for CVs and Vitas shared or submitted as official documents. 
• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FAR where the traditional-date display style did not render correctly in certain Vita sections, such as Post-Graduate Training and Licensures or Certifications. Affected dates appeared as a dash rather than showing the date on the left and the related detail on the right, even though other sections using the same configuration displayed correctly. Dates now render consistently in the traditional-date format across all profile sections, regardless of section type. This ensures accurate, uniform date formatting on generated Vitas.
• Fixed: We resolved an issue in FAR where faculty uploads at institutions using unique ID (UID) provisioning reported errored records without any accompanying details. Administrators could see that records had failed but received no explanation of what caused the errors, in either the UI or supporting tools. Error details for failed records are now surfaced during faculty upload, helping administrators identify and correct the underlying data issues.
• Fixed: We resolved an issue in Faculty Activity Reporting where users were unable to connect their accounts to ORCID. Previously, attempting to link an ORCID account returned a 500 error, preventing administrators and faculty members from completing the connection. ORCID accounts now link successfully as expected, allowing users to integrate their ORCID profiles with Faculty Activity Reporting without interruption.
