what does this mean, I have it in my diagnostic?
No, but I have this in diagnostics:
- ismemberof:
- uw:domain:my.wisc.edu:audiences:preparing_for_soar_access
Same. Anyone who does not?
Iām confused. Is everyone diagnostic the same, or do people have varying lines of code? if so what should I be looking for
Everyone should be the same, just wait until you get your email saying your decision is in the portal.

I personally think they stripped the diagnostics of anything that might provide portal astrology so Iām not sure if we should spend time trying to decipher the content. I think everyone has the same content. The only thing that transpired yesterday evening indicating someoneās portal showing different than the othersā was few users being able to access the Canvas while majority canāt.
Yes, they stripped portal astrology indicators from the diagnostics last year.
Yes, they stripped the following two items from diagnostic report, which were the indicators:-
uw:domain:my.wisc.edu:audiences:APPL
wiscedustudentstatus: APPL/ADMT
They have mentioned it in the report that since these attributes were used for portal astrology, and since being removed, the person troubleshooting issues should not expect to find them (remember, the real purpose of this report is to triage access issues)
Now, Iām able to see the first stripped line item in the Chrome developer tools; but I still canāt find the second one.
The theory last year was that the wiscedustudentstatus will change from APPL to ADMT for admitted students; for some it changed very close to the decision release time.
I hope some ātroopersā can trace this wiscedustudentstatus in the Chrome developer tools.
PS: they always leave behind some trail

Since nothing yesterday, Iām now thinking ānot this weekendā means release is on Friday. As in: ānot this weekend, next weekendā.
Hope Iām wrong and itās earlier. Expecting UIUC Friday, too.

I feel like at best they do two batches on two days but I suspect itās really just simple that itās one batch on one day this week and I suspect likely Wednesday or Friday.

Honestly, the portal stuff is amusing but not for me. I donāt even understand 99%of the codes you guys are using. Iāll just wait for the release.
That being said, if they were going to make that post last Fridayā¦just give a date. If the date is Friday, just say so. If the releases will start Wednesday and continue through Friday, just say so. Whatever it is can be dealt with. The secrecy is just unnecessary.

Has anyone called and asked or is that a waste of time?
Someone had called last Friday (you will have to look through the messages), and they were told it could be any day between now and next Friday (go figure, what that means)
The only legit reason for not giving a date, is because you donāt know when you will release.
These things have a plan behind them, and, presumably, experienced professionals working the plan. And, they know with sufficient certainty when they will be ready to release.
I chalk the lack of transparency up to cya.

Not trying to defend Madison here (full disclosure: not an alumni, nor do I work there), but every college has their IT systems and departments setup differently. Iām sure theyād want to be precise, but itās entirely possible their IT processes doesnāt allow them to.
Itād be easy for us to say that upgrade the systems etc, but these are difficult decisions, especially for cash strapped public institutions who have much higher priorities to deal with.
