Updates to EAB Navigate Campaign User Interface

To Know:  EAB Navigate updated its campaign user interface, which is available today (Thursday, March 31, 2022). Here is a rundown of its updates:

  • Campaigns Tab Landing Page - The Campaigns tab looks different, and statistics no longer show on the page. Instead, users need to click the Campaign type to see the list of that type of Campaign and any statistics that show on the page.
  • Appointment Campaigns - Users can now create nudges for appointment campaigns. It replaces the original “Compose a Message” functionality and allows for more communication from your school to students during an appointment campaign. 
  • Define Campaigns Page - This page and others look different. Several fields were moved to this page and one field was added.
