SIS

FOCUS-39398- SSO: New Native Browser Option for Mobile SSO Login Requests

This branch effectively addresses the issue of Single Sign-On (SSO) login requests on mobile devices, particularly in situations where certain providers like Google and Azure are involved. Previously, there were challenges with using webviews for SSO, leading to errors during login attempts. With this branch, a solution has been implemented that allows OAuth and OpenID Connect profiles to utilize a native browser for all mobile login requests. This enhancement ensures smoother and more reliable SSO experiences on mobile devices, regardless of the specific identity provider being used.

FOCUS-39377- Gradebook: Correct Entry Options on Rubrics in Assignments

Before the branch, there was an issue when adding new criteria and scores in the Rubric section of Gradebook Assignments. The "Percent of Grade" column was missing on the new row, and the description boxes were shifted to the left, causing alignment problems and making it impossible to add a description under the last column. With the branch, these issues have been resolved. When teachers add new criteria and scores in the Rubric section of Gradebook Assignments, all columns are editable and aligned correctly.

FOCUS-39369- Avery Labels: Fix Output in Insert Fields

This branch resolves an issue with the Print Avery Label feature, where custom labels were not generating the correct insert fields as expected. With this correction, the custom labels will now correctly populate the appropriate insert fields, ensuring accurate and consistent label generation.

FOCUS-39179- Discipline: New Feature to Customize 'Detention' Verbiage on Tardy Slip

With this enhancement, a new 'Text' column has been added to the feature for printing Tardy Slips. This addition allows schools to include additional descriptions or notes when printing Tardy slips from the Kiosk/Handheld. This extra column provides flexibility to customize the information displayed on the Tardy slips to better suit the school's needs.

See Attendance Setup > Adding a Tardy Threshold Rule for more information.

FOCUS-39128- Attendance: Overlapping Sections without Preference Enabled

In situations where the setting "Students can have attendance for more than one section in a period" is not enabled, this branch introduces changes to how attendance functions:

Combined Sections:

If a teacher combines their sections, they will not be able to assign two different attendance codes for each period when they have students in both classes. The system ensures that students in combined sections receive the same attendance code in both periods.

Separate Sections:

If a teacher does not combine sections and takes attendance separately for each class taught in the same period, both classes will have the same attendance code in each period if the teacher has students in both classes. This maintains consistency in attendance tracking across the multiple classes a teacher is handling during the same period.

These changes help streamline attendance recording and maintain accuracy when dealing with combined or separate sections in a period, ensuring that attendance codes are applied consistently to students across their classes.

See System Preferences > Default School Preferences > Attendance tab for details about the setting.

FOCUS-39076- Pulling Grades: Course Flags of Exclude on Grade Records Logic Change (Florida)

This branch is specific to Florida customers. With this branch if a student's Report Card Grade value has a Course Flag 1 through 4 value of X-Exclude, the grade record will not be included in any calculation through Pull Grades for Report Cards.

FOCUS-39057- District Report Cards: Correct Title of Report Card to Progress Report when Applicable

This branch modifies the title of published progress reports when utilizing the District Report Cards feature. Specifically, it updates the title of the progress report from "Report Card" to "Progress Report." This change is designed to provide a more accurate and informative representation of the content and purpose of the progress reports when they are generated and made available through the District Report Cards functionality.

See District Report Cards & Transcripts for more information.

FOCUS-38988- Form Builder: Resolve Disabling Text Area Components with Rich Text Editor

Before this resolution, there was an issue where a text area that was set to be required and enabled through programming would not allow users to type in the text area within the Form Builder. With the branch implementation, this issue has been resolved. Now, when a text area is set to be required and enabled through programming, the rich text area behaves as expected, allowing users to type in the text area within the Form Builder.

FOCUS-38134- Postsecondary: New Option for Attendance when Merging 2 Students

The branch introduces new functionality to the "Merge 2 Students" tab within the "Delete a Student" feature for Postsecondary schools. This enhancement addresses the handling of differing attendance records when merging two students. The changes are as follows:

- Cancel the Merge: This option will prevent the merge from happening and display an error message. The two students won't be merged.

- Keep Student's Attendance: This option maintains the current default behavior. It uses the attendance records of the student that is being kept.

- Use the Greater Attendance: This option selects the greater attendance record, regardless of whether it belongs to the student being kept or the student being deleted. This option is selected by default.

These changes provide more flexibility in handling attendance records during the merging of students.

See Delete a Student for details.

CTE

FOCUS-39276- Postsecondary: Update COE Report Columns 5 & 8

This enhancement is applicable only to our Postsecondary Customers. As per the Postsecondary Users' Group (PUG) agreement, it has been determined that OCPs are not mandatory to be reported in certain fields of the COE Report. Specifically, columns 5 (Non-Graduate Completers) and 8 (Non-Grad Completers Employed in Positions related to Field of Interest) will no longer require OCP data to be included.
