April 2023 PrismWeb Release Notes

Application updates from February 25, 2023 – March 24, 2023

Release to production: April 9, 2023

PrismWeb is widely used as the e-commerce solution for PrismCore and Mosaic. Application APIs provide consistent behavior regardless of a store’s inventory management system. Along with essential data exchange, there is an ongoing initiative to unify website configuration, content management, and order processing within Mosaic. In Spring 2022, PrismRBS announced an initiative to transition clients to Mosaic eCommerce powered by Vortx as the preferred front-end website for PrismCore and Mosaic system users. To ensure continued online selling and enable transitions to Mosaic, support for PrismWeb will be maintained as clients transition to Mosaic eCommerce.

PrismWeb Manager

Barchart Associations - The logic for matching vendor supplied Barcharts data to adopted textbooks has been improved to match on textbook ISBN. Previously, the association of Barcharts data was based on a ‘subject’ value that was unreliable. The association of books and Barcharts moving forward will be based on a table of ISBN’s provided by Barcharts.

SFTP Users - Users with Store Manager or Support permissions now can assist SFTP users who reset their SFTP password but never get an email containing the link to their new password. On request to reset the SFTP password, PrismWeb Manager will provide a message like “Failed to get the email? Email the following link and instructions to <email address>. <password link>“ allowing the user to resend the link to a known email.

Mosaic DI

Textbook Search (Mosaic only) - An error resulting from apostrophes in course descriptions was fixes. Before the use of apostrophes in course name or course description caused a data sync issue.
