Update of ki.se on September 25
On Thursday, September 25th, starting after 7:00 PM, an update will be carried out on ki.se, including medarbetare.ki.se, nyheter.ki.se, and utbildning.ki.se. During the update, some downtime may occur, and it will not be possible to log in or work in the web publishing system.
News and Calendar
- Automatically filled profile reference in news articles
When you link to a profile page in the body text of a news article, the Profile reference field is automatically filled when you save.
Note: You must save the news article for the connection to be activated.
- Automatic end time in calendar events
When creating a calendar event and entering a start time, the end time is automatically set to one hour later – which is the most common duration for lectures and meetings.
You can of course manually change the end time if the event is longer or shorter.
- Bug fix in news promos
A bug that prevented the use of News promo type promos has now been fixed.
Profile Pages
- More news linked to individuals
Under the tab Public outreach and news, up to ten news articles linked to the person via Profile reference are now displayed.
A link to more news is also shown, leading to an automatic search in the news archive.
- Language control for news articles and media from KI RIMS
Publications of the type News article and Media from KI RIMS are now shown on the profile page only in the language version that matches the publication.
Swedish articles appear on the Swedish profile page, English on the English – providing a more relevant display.
- Abstracts shown for research grants
If you display a research grant on your profile or group page, the abstract is now also shown – provided the grant is ongoing and the abstract exists in KI RIMS.
- Clearer headings for supervision
Supervision information in the CV section of the profile page is now divided into three headings: Supervision to doctoral degree, Supervision to licentiate degree and Supervision of postdoctoral researchers.
Search Functions
- Improved display of research groups in search results
Search results now show the introduction from the group page and the name of the group leader.
Note: The page must be saved for the change to take effect – otherwise, the Swedish introduction will be shown on the English page.
- Document titles shown instead of file names
Search results now display the document title, making it easier to understand the content.
It may take some time before the change is visible for all documents.
- Improved job search (KI Jobs)
Filtering and display of search results for job vacancies have been improved.
This is part of harmonizing search and filtering functions across the entire website.
Course and Programme Pages
- New text about archived course and programme syllabi
Old course and programme syllabi have now been moved to an archive that requires login with a KI ID.
New text informs that they are no longer searchable via the web – and that they can be requested if needed.
- The “Other guidelines” field now shown on programme syllabi
Information entered in this field in Ladok is now also displayed on education plans (previously only on course plans).
- Clarified link text on course web pages
The automatically generated link Current course plan has been changed to Current course plan and reading list to clarify the content.
- Improved print function
It is now easier to print course and education plans in the correct format.
Reports
A new report function is now available in the toolbar. Here you’ll find reports for:
- Documents
- Nodes
- Promos
- Reminders
- Local content (only on the Staff Portal)
Export to Excel is not yet available but will be included in the next update.
Other Improvements and Changes
- Automatic link text in link fields
When creating an internal link in fields such as Links, Link box, Call to action, or Menu links, the link text is automatically generated based on the page title.
You can of course change the text if you wish.
- Better visibility on mobile
Numbered lists and related links are now easier to read on smaller screens.
Clearer scroll list in agendas.
- Convert to tab has been discontinued
The function to convert pages to group pages has been removed.

Several improvements have been made to increase security, stability, and performance.
