What's new

New features, improvements and fixes across Ruvna.

  1. Announcement Templates

    New
    • Announcements

    You can now save the messages your school sends again and again as reusable templates. Weather delays, practice cancellations, form deadline reminders: write them once, and anyone on your team can start from the same polished version next time.

    • Start from a template: Find your school’s shared library under Announcements > Templates. Choose “Use Template” to open a new draft with the subject, message, channels, and audience already filled in. Change the details that differ, then send or schedule like any other announcement.

  2. Increasing Visibility of Visitor Photos & Background Checks

    Improvement
    • Visitor Management

    Redesigned background check match dialog: the whole dialog was redesigned so you can quickly understand a potential match’s details, crime(s), appearance and more. The photos are larger and rectangular for easier side-by-side comparison.

    Better photos: hover over an avatar in the visitor list to see a larger photo, or click the avatar on a visitor’s profile to see it full size.

  3. Trusted Visitor Background Check Expiration

    New
    • Visitor Management

    You now have the option to set an expiration policy for Trusted Visitor background checks. Once a check expires, the Trusted Visitor is rechecked the next time they scan in. 

    To set the expiration policy:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Visitor Management.
    2. Select Configure Visitor Verification Settings.
    3. Scroll down to the Trusted Visitors section.

  4. Filter Contacts by Campus

    Improvement
    • General

    In multi-campus/district environments, you can now filter contacts by campus.

  5. Customizable columns in Visitor Management

    Improvement
    • Visitor Management

    You can now choose which columns appear in your Visits list and arrange them in the order you prefer.

    • Each tab (Active, Upcoming, Pending, Denied, Departed, and All) can be customized separately. For example, you might show the Notes column right next to the visitor’s name on the Active tab while hiding it entirely on the Departed tab.
    • To customize a tab, click the column settings icon next to the search bar, then toggle columns on or off and drag them to reorder. Select “Reset to defaults” at any time to restore the original layout.
    • Your settings are saved to your browser, so they apply automatically each time you return on that device. You can set up different layouts on different devices
