FOCUS-32788- Fix custom time frame for Perfect/Excessive Absence

Previously, the Perfect/Excessive Attendance report when using a custom timeframe still only displayed attendance records recorded in the session school year. With this branch, the attendance output on the report will display across school years if directed by the custom timeframe entered by the end-user. It also adds the following new options to the Timeframe pull-down: Last 2 School Years, Last 3 School Years, and Last 4 School Years.

FOCUS-32679- Online application school year for overlapping application timeframes

This enhancement adds a new system student field titled "Application School Year." The field contains two select options - one for current year and one for future year. If the field is added to the customer's online application, the Online Enrollments > Unprocessed Applications report will display the school year collected to the end-user. Furthermore, when processing the enrollment via the Unprocessed Applications report, the enrollment school year will default for the end-user to the value collected on the application. A new system preference was also added to Setup > System Preferences > Default School Preferences > Online Application called 'Allow Enrolling in Future Year.' To maintain existing functionality, the preference will be installed in the On position. However, when the preference is turned off, the user completing the online application will not be able to select the next year in the field.

This fix allows all students, parents or staff to be sent the message.

FOCUS-32646- Attendance Chart - Display period attendance even if school period is not Used For Attendance

Customers can mark sections for attendance in periods that are not flagged as Used for Attendance, however when selecting this period from the Attendance Chart, the period attendance would not display for these period sections where attendance was taken. Now the Attendance Chart will accurately display Period Attendance even when the period is not flagged for attendance.

FOCUS-32590- Gradebook: Improved Category Delete and Editing of Categories Marking Periods or Title

Deleting a category now allows for a more precise delete. Users will delete from the current section/marking period (or receive an error if they cannot, due to an existing assignment), but they can choose specific marking periods within each section to delete from. When editing a category, changing the title or marking periods fields no longer always effect all periods. Users will get a prompt when saving to select other sections to effect with the marking periods, or if title is changed only, sections and marking periods. The marking periods reflected in the drop down now reflect the marking periods selected for the current section group, which can be different then the marking periods for other section groups.
