FOCUS-32978- Grade Passback API: /Grades Insert Query Can Attempt an Insert of a Duplicate Row

Only applicable to customers utilizing an API Grade Passback. Before this branch, the /grades route in the API can attempt to insert the same grade twice. The issue can occur if two duplicate requests are generated at the same time or if a student has a schedule for two sections which share an assignment (switched section with the same teacher). This branch corrects this issue.

FOCUS-32911- Improve Online Enrollments for processing Online Applications using Address Catalog and applicant_gradelevel.

This branch ensures the school/portal alert for Online Enrollments via the Online Application when leveraging both an address catalog and applicant_gradelevel is appearing in the correct school. Before this branch the process in which to determine the zoned school on the Online Enrollments report was not factoring in the end year on a school's gradelevel setup.

FOCUS-32887- Gradebook: Semester Gradebooks not Allowing Different Category Percents per Semester

When a semester gradebook uses a different category percent for the same category in semester 1 from the percent for the same category in semester 2, an issue is causing the percent to be reset to the same across both semesters, when revisiting the gradebook. This branch ensures the different category percents are maintained.

FOCUS-32742- Don't include Inactive Students referrals in Portal Alerts if user has no permission.

When a user doesn't have permission to view referrals for inactive students, referrals for inactive students will no longer be included in the alert for 'Referrals returned with comments'. When the end-user has permission, clicking on the alert will include inactive student's referrals as it does now.

FOCUS-32690- Add Periods Absent column to Perfect Attendance tab

This enhancement adds a new column "Periods Absent" to the Perfect/Excessive Attendance report > Perfect Attendance. The new column will count the total amount of periods absent for the respective student. If the option "Ignore Excused Absences" is selected only unexcused absences will be counted. The threshold options have also been renamed to better reflect the report output.

FOCUS-32490- Blackboard: Fix users query

Only applicable for customers utilizing the Blackboard API. This branch includes a performance improvement to the /users endpoint.

FOCUS-32399- Gradebook/Web Pages: Adjusted Logic Behind Total Used for Standards

Before this branch when viewing standards to attach to a Gradebook Assignment or Web Page, the standards would display a count of how many times the standard had been used across the entire district. This branch adjusts this logic to display to the teacher how many times they have selected the standard for use in the section they have selected in their top-right session

FOCUS-32387- New Preference - Prevent Grade Change Requests for Inactive Students

This branch introduces a new Grading System Preference 'Prevent Grade Change Requests for inactive students'. When this preference is enabled and teachers submit a Grade Change Request for an inactive student, an alert 'The student was not active during that period, please select a different term.' displays and blocks the change request. The new warning that will appear is designed to display if the student was not active on the last day of the quarter. This alert checks the student enrollment dates and/or the student schedule enrollments.

FOCUS-32030- Correct SSRS Reports time display on Student/Parent Portal

Currently on the Student/Parent Portal > Reports tab, when an SSRS Report is published, the time display of the published report always defaults to midnight. The publishing does respect the Start Time of the published report, but displays incorrectly. This branch fixes the time display so that it matches the Start Time for the published report. If no Start Time was input, the default remains midnight. Only applicable for customers using SSRS report cards.

FOCUS-31600- Email from Letter Queue

This branch adds an Email feature to Students' Letter Logging. An email option has been added to the letter queue with options to log the email that has been sent to students, primary contact and custodial contacts.

FOCUS-31476- Display categories in public catalog categories filter

Currently when the system preference to show the categories filter in the purchase and pay screen is turned on, the filter is displayed in the public course catalog but it is empty with no categories being pulled into the filter. This branch adds changes so that categories that have been set up on the store setup screen will be displayed in the filter on the catalog screen.

FOCUS-32761- Exclude inactive students from Mass Invoice from Schedule

FOCUS-32054- Changes to mass invoice product list query

FOCUS-17333- Edit Permissions Preventing Creating New Record in Logging Field

This enhancement allows customers to distinguish different edit permissions on the creation of a new logging field vs. editing an existing logging field. All logging field custom fields (e.g., students, users, district, schools, referral, and incident fields) now have the Create permission on each individual column of the logging field. If an end-user's profile has Create permissions on a column without Edit permissions they will be able to edit that column upon entering a new logging field, but will not be able to edit the column once the logging field has been added. The branch includes a migration to enable create permissions for the log column if the log column has edit permissions and the log field has create permissions, which will ensure there will be no change to end-user access upon updating to 11.0.36. Please reach out to your support representative if you have further questions.
