Due to the messages from Technolutions, I speeded up implementation of custom status portals for the MS programs and AVM. AVM is set for the 2024 cycle, and has been tuned over to JC to manage; MS portal needs more discussion of how things are set up to make sure all programs are covered. [next action: conversation about which portals should be grouped together]

Hi Beth,
Thanks so much for reaching back out. It looks like you changed these to ‘Inactive’ status back on October 17:

Dear Elizabeth, My name is Gwendolyn, and I'm writing to you today to inform you of an upcoming change to Slate. This change will remove Teasers from the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine Slate database. Teasers were once used to conditionally show or hide content in portals, at a time when portals were primarily configured using XML code. With the introduction of the Portals tool and improved functionality across Slate, Teasers are no longer needed. Our engineering team will be sunsetting Teasers globally across all databases, which will help us to make even greater improvements to Slate in the future. This change will also provide your users with greater control over your database with less prerequisite knowledge needed. Upon reviewing your database (TUV), we determined that you have one or more active portals that are currently using Teasers. We've created new documentation on the Knowledge Base with information you can use to eliminate your dependence upon Teasers before they're removed from Slate. Our goal is to have all Teasers removed from all Slate databases by December 1, 2023. To facilitate this transition, I will be your main contact from the Client Support team, and I can be reached at gpage@technolutions.com. I encourage you to confirm that Teasers are not being used in your database, and I will be in touch with you soon to discuss next steps. Best, Gwendolyn Page Slate Community Support | Technolutions |
