Aspire Down Time : Sunday 27th November 2011
On Sunday 27th November Talis will be performing scheduled maintenance to Talis Aspire Campus Edition between 3pm and 7pm.  During this period, you will not be able to make edits to draft lists, add bookmarks direct to lists, edit or progress reviews or roll over lists in bulk to new time periods.  Any users attempting these operations will receive an error.

Users will still be able to view all data in the system, log in and perform other operations.

This scheduled maintenance is part of the preparation required to move all customers to new database servers.

User Profiles (22/09/2011)

The first time you sign in to Aspire following the latest release on 22nd September, you will be asked to fill out a user profile form.

The completion of this functionality lays the foundations for a number of key improvements which will be added over the coming months, such as:
  • Ability to add an academic as a list owner/showing academic’s name at the top of a list
  • Ability for students to search for list by academic name

User profile

If the user has no roles/permissions in the system (including students), the user profile details will be wholly optional and the user can dismiss the request for details.
If the user has roles/permissions (e.g. list publisher, system administrator etc), the user profile is mandatory, but you can mark the profile as private so only system administrators can review it.
