New Year, New Menu!

With the January update to Campus Cafe comes a brand new Menu.  Many of our customers have been asking for a redesign to more easily find the different pages to navigate the system.

Although this will be an adjustment for all users as the location for many of the links may have changed, the options have now been appropriately categorized into appropriate sub-headings.

A user may also contract the menu option titles by default; with mouse-over the menu will auto expand.

Note For On-Premise Customers:

With this Release you must upgrade your servers to use Java version 11 or greater to take advantage of newer security measures. On Premise Customers must update in order to prevent any lapse in service.

Download link for appropriate version: Download

Cloud customers do not need to adjust any settings as their instances have already been upgraded

NEW Ticket System Alert!

We will transition our ticketing system from Fogbugz to the JIRA Service Platform for tickets. All emailing notifications for submitted tickets will come from the new system.
If a user logs into Fogbugz as a community user to correspond with a submitted ticket, we will no longer be notified. 
Please be sure to make all correspondence through the new JIRA portal or through emailing support@campuscafesoftware.com .

The new system will allow you to login and track the tickets that you have submitted and review the current status of those tickets. You will also receive notifications on the status of those tickets including when those tickets are resolved.

Below is the link to the new Help Desk Portal. Here, you can submit a ticket and/or create a portal account: https://campuscafesoftware.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals
To submit a ticket through the portal start by clicking on the "Campus Cafe Support" button.

Please note: In this transition phase, we will still retain Fogbugz for reference in order to make sure the details of your issues are not lost. However, when viewing the transitioned tickets in the JIRA system you may or may not see the entire conversation thread of current Fogbugz tickets.
