I’m pleased to announce that a new version of Prism is available for you to preview. This includes a fix to the Notes display and enables Single Sign On Integration with the Central Authentication Service (CAS) system for customers who have placed an order.

Making the most of your preview

These features are now available for you to preview. We urge you to make the most of the preview period to ensure that Prism continues to work well for your catalogue.

In particular, please check that you can sign in as normal, and that multiple occurrences of notes are displaying.

As usual, you can preview this release by inserting ‘/demo/’ after the prism.talis.com part of your URL and before the name of your tenancy, e.g. http://prism.talis.com/demo/mytenancy/. If you have your own host name, to see the preview you must use prism.talis.com/ instead. The preview enables you to search your live data and access your live Local Data Services (e.g. for availability, renewals and reservations) using the new version of Prism. You can also use it with your sandbox tenancy.

Notes Display issue fix

This fixes an issue where some notes (chiefly from MARC fields 500 and 504) are not displaying when there are multiple notes.

Single Sign On integration with the Central Authentication Service (CAS) system

We have made some changes to the authentication aspects of Prism to allow integration with the Central Authentication Service (CAS) system. We are delighted that this is enabling Prism’s first Single Sign On implementation to go live.

If you have not placed an order for Single Sign On there should be no change when signing in to Prism. During the preview we are advising everyone to check that you can sign in as normal.

For more information about Single Sign On please contact your Account Manager.

Release to the live service

This version of Prism will be released to the live service on Tuesday 18th December.
