Added the ability to view individual records from a data table in a pop-up modal to alleviate having to scroll horizontally on large tables.
- This new feature is available on many data tables throughout Focus, including Student Info, Final Grades, GPA, & Class Rank (Detailed View), Third Party Systems, and Master Schedule Report.
- When viewing a data table, click the Expand icon next to the delete button to view that record in the modal.
- To close the modal, click Close, press Esc, or click the dimmed background.
- If the modal is opened on an insert row, a Create button is displayed next to the Close button on the modal, allowing a record to be created.
- If the modal is opened on a non-insert row, blue arrow buttons are displayed, allowing cycling through the other records without having to close the modal.
Referrals
Added the ability to auto-generate and print/email letters when a victim is logged on a referral, when a specific discipline code is selected on a referral, and when a specific action is selected on a referral.
- Added a new system preference “Victim Letter” to the General tab in Setup > System Preferences. Select the letter to generate for the victim student when a victim is logged in the Victims table on a referral. Letters set up in Students > Print Letters & Send Email that are attached to Discipline are available for selection.
- Added the Letter column to the Codes tab in Discipline > Referral Codes & Actions. Select the letter to generate for the referral recipient when the discipline code is selected on a referral. Letters set up in Students > Print Letters & Send Email that are attached to Discipline are available for selection.
- Added the Letter column to the Actions tab in Discipline > Referral Codes & Actions. Select the letter to generate for the referral recipient when the action is selected on a referral. Letters set up in Students > Print Letters & Send Email that are attached to Discipline are available for selection.
- When a referral is processed by an administrator and saved, the Print Letter pop-up modal will display where the letter(s) can be printed or emailed. The letters can also be logged in the student log. If there is a victim, a pull-down displays to choose between the referral recipient’s letter or the victim’s letter.
Added the ability to redirect parents to /auth instead of /apply when accessing the Online Application in the Forms menu. In Users > Profiles, a new option “Direct parents to /auth instead of /apply” is now available under the Online Application profile permission. When enabled, and the parent clicks Online Application in the Forms menu, the /auth screen is opened, where the parent can add another child to their account.
Updated the Admin and Teacher Portals to mirror version 10.0.0 changes made to the Student and Parent portals, which includes updates to the Alerts, Messages, and Upcoming Events blocks.
PowerBI Reports
Added an integration between Focus and Microsoft Power BI. The integration allows users to use data from Focus to create dynamic and interactive custom reports in Power BI. The reports can then be viewed in Focus on the PowerBI Reports screen. The data used in the report can be scheduled to refresh every night, or can be manually refreshed on demand. Please contact Focus Support if interested in setting up an integration with Power BI.
Focus also provides a FL School Grades report, which uses data collected from the Florida Department of Education. The report includes data on enrollment, graduation rate, success measures, demographic and economic influences, school grade maps, and more. Please contact Focus Support to enable the FL School Grades report on your site.
Elementary Scheduler
Added a new screen in Focus that allows the school scheduler to create rosters and schedule students for homeroom teachers while distributing students by gender, discipline referral history, and assessment scores.
- Added new system preferences to the General tab in Setup > System Preferences: State Math Test, State ELA Test, and Achievement Level Type. Select the state math and ELA test that will be used when balancing or counting the number of students per section per level. Select the Achievement Level type that will be used for both tests.
- In Users > Profiles, there are new profile permissions that control View and Edit access to the Elementary Scheduler screen.
- On the Elementary Scheduler screen, restrictions can be set on each student to place them in the ideal class. A student can be scheduled with specific students, scheduled away from specific students, and scheduled with a specific teacher. Overrides can be set on behavior, math, and ELA scores.
- Students can be manually assigned to a homeroom teacher or the Optimize option can be used to evenly distribute the students to all teachers based on gender, discipline, and FSA scores.
- Once students have been manually assigned to teachers or assigned using the Optimize feature, students can have the packages added to their schedules using the Schedule Students button.
Portal/Portal Editor
Updated the Portal Editor by removing the ERP Portal in favor of using the SIS Portal logic. The Portal editor can be used to assign portal layouts to ERP profiles; as a consequence, user tasks and warehouse alerts have been moved to the Alerts block.
Updated the ERP Portal to mirror the SIS Portal. The blocks that display on the portal are customizable via Portal Editor; therefore, the image shown is an example, which includes “Alerts,” “District & School Announcements,” “Upcoming Events,” “Find an Employee,” “Punch In/Out,” “Birthday List,” and more.
- Added “Find an Employee” search block, which allows users to quickly conduct a user/employee search directly from the Portal. The search block also features “Include Inactive Users” and “More Search Options.”
Updated the additional dashboard tabs so they now display in a pull-down.
Manage Student
Added new Threat Assessment forms to the Focus Forms tab of the Form Builder, available via a snapshot. The snapshot also adds a new category “Threat Assessment” to the Manage Student screen, with the event “Florida Standardized Statewide Behavioral Threat Assessment.”
Added new functionality to document PMP interventions:
- In Users > Profiles, the View and Edit permissions for the PMP Setup screen must be assigned to the appropriate profiles.
- In SSS > Setup > Steps, the new step (e.g. PMP Intervention) must be set up with the Custom Route as sss/pmp/view and the Class as \Focus\Sped\Controller\Iep\PMPController.
- In SSS > Setup > Sequences, the new step must be added to the appropriate event, such as the MTSS Progress Monitoring Plan.
- In SSS > User Profile Permissions, ensure the appropriate profiles have Event Permissions for the event.
- In SSS > PMP Setup, the district can add custom titles to the fields instead of using the default titles, can select whether the fields use free form text, drop-downs, or both, can enable or disable the fields, can make the fields required or not required, and can change the sort order of the fields.
- In SSS > Setup, new tabs have been added to set up Hypotheses, Strategies, and Monitoring Tools.
- In SSS > Manage Student, when the event (such as MTSS Progress Monitoring Plan) is initiated, the new step (PMP Intervention) is available. The table at the top of the screen displays the fields that were set up in SSS > PMP Setup.
- The new step provides the ability to chart the student’s progress in each content area compared with their peer group.
