Updates to ECAS functionality

Improvements have recently been made to the Electronic Course Authorization System (ECAS) with several more planned in the coming weeks. As of August 7, the ECAS update page has the following changes:

• ECAS will auto-save each time you click out of a field.
• Users will no longer be timed out of the system.
• There is a new character countdown on fields that have character limits.
• Some fields are hidden out of the way until you select to open them.
• Validation errors will now show in real time (instead of after your work is submitted).
• The "Save Changes for Later Action" button was retired as you no longer need to manually save.

We’ll be sure to keep ECAS users informed as other ECAS updates are rolled out to the system.
