FOCUS-33765- Student Portal - Exclude classes scheduled for the upcoming school year from Grad Reqs tooltip

With the system preference to hide schedules from students turned on, students were still able to deduce their future schedule by looking at their graduation requirements report in the credits remaining to be taken column. This branch prevents schedules from the next school year from showing in the credits remaining to be taken column.

FOCUS-33764- School Choice Application: Projected gradelevel is not being populated in the database when submitting the application

Only applicable for customers using the School Choice module. If a student did not have a current year gradelevel populated on enrollment, the projected gradelevel, while present on the choice application, wasn't being populated down to the school_choice_application_status.projected_gradelevel when the application was submitted. This branch corrects that issue.

FOCUS-33718- Add a Student: Always Display Errors

When adding a student, if the end-user clicked the back button to navigate from the 3rd page to the 2nd page then returned to the 3rd page, the errors were not displayed to the end-user until a change was made on the page. This branch ensures that all applicable errors display to the end-user upon page load.

FOCUS-33711- Gradebook Student View: Remove Table Scroll Bar When Height is Restricted

Before this resolution when viewing the gradebook as a parent/student on a mobile browser the gradebook would not scroll very well when in landscape mode. This was especially pronounced when there were more than 100 assignments in the gradebook and the teacher used weighted grades. With this resolution the whole screen will scroll not just the gradebook table so everything can be seen.

This branch improves the performance of printing an Advanced Report with student photos included, as well as prevents them from printing sideways.

FOCUS-33420- Gradebook: Modifying Assignment Assigned Students Shouldn't Effect Inactive Students

When modifying the assigned students on an assignment, students who are now inactive shouldn't be affected by the new selection, and remain assigned with their grade, if applicable. If the teacher changes the checkbox to assign or not assign to all students, this still affects inactive students, who will have their cell ungreyed if the assignment is no longer assigned to individual students, or greyed, if it is checked.

FOCUS-33377- Teacher Portal and Workflow Triggers - Do not display a portal alert for teachers for the students not scheduled in their classes

This branch hides the custom alerts, set up under Edit Rules & Workflow, Workflow Triggers, from the teachers portal if a student is not scheduled to any of teacher's classes and system preference "Enable search entire school for teachers" is turned off.

FOCUS-33322- Kiosk: Prevent errors when converting student local_id to student_id when bad data is present

This branch fixes an error on the kiosk with converting student {local_id} to student_id for a scenario in which the customer has multiple records in the students table with the same {local_id} value and one of these records has no active student_enrollment record.

FOCUS-33169- Online Application: Automatically save pending contact details

This branch adds the automatic saving for a pending contact details while saving contact block. In the reported issue, when user did not click 'Save Contact Detail' button but proceeded to the next step with the contact details data, the added contact was saving without details.

FOCUS-33059- Discipline Referral: Show recalc of action length if changed.

On a discipline referral with an existing action record, if the user changes the date ends or length to a new value, the other value recalculates. If the user then changes it back to the original value it, the recalculation didn't trigger again. This branch fixes it to always display the current length if the end date is changed and the current end date if the length is changed.

Existing validations may require transportation services to be added. This validation applies to all schedules on the event, but it should only be mandatory on the first schedule.
