R Nav Widget
While the R Nav widget (short for Random Navigation) has been around for a couple of years, we have added improvements and enhancements to it. The widget now supports icons when connected to a collection! It is a widget designed to provide secondary navigation to important information. For example, you can use the widget to highlight your PlusPortals link or even your Admissions login for applications. We frequently use this widget in the website header area for those exact purposes.

Personalization Rules Enhancements & Updates
The Personalization menu has been updated and streamlined with a new look. The rules and the majority of the settings are still the same, however, it is presented in a new more user-friendly way. Also, there are a couple of new options added. See notes below.
- Position on Page (Popups only): Popups can now have a position on page set. Allowing you to choose to have the popup open in a specificized page position. It is no longer limited to only opening in the middle.
- Which pages to show: Most rules (like popups, message bars, and special effects) can now be set to run on all or specific pages selected. For example, a popup can now be set to display on All pages. Keeping in mind the 30 minute/session rule,
- Display Options: Two additional display option were added for Popups specifically.
- When Visitor is about to leave: On desktop, it activates when it is detected that the visitor's mouse cursor is moving quickly toward the top of the browser window (usually heading for the close button, back button, or address bar). That upward movement is the signal that the visitor might be about to leave/exit, and that’s when the action you’ve set up, like a popup, will show up.
- After visitor scrolls (%): This delays the popup from happening until the visitor has scrolled the amount (%) set in the rule. From example, if the rule is to trigger a popup, but only on the Admissions page when the visitor has scrolled down 50% of the page.
