FOCUS-39558- Discipline: Add Student Documentation Feature to Add a Referral

This enhancement introduces the 'I' icon for the Student Documentation feature to the 'Add a Referral' entry screen. Previously, this icon was only available when viewing existing referrals for students. With this enhancement, users can now access important information in real-time while entering new referrals for students, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the referral process.

See Add Referral (admin) and Add Referral (teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-39469- Address Fields: Support Editing "Address" on Contact Detail Flags for Existing Options

This branch resolves an issue where the "Address" checkbox on the "Address Fields > Contact Detail Flags" is not editable through the interface after a record has been added to the datatable.

FOCUS-39416- Graduation Requirements Report (FL): Appendix Z Entries where Industry Cert Type is Null Shouldn't Count for Merit

This branch is specific to customers using Florida State Reporting. It ensures that the Graduation Requirements Report's Merit section will not grant the Merit Designation to a student if the Industry Certification entered in the student's logging field matches a value in Appendix Z with a null Industry Certification Type.

FOCUS-39310- Parent Notifications: Add Support for Other Field Types in Referral Notifications

This branch rectifies an issue concerning Parent Email Notifications regarding referrals. Previously, the email sent to parents contained fields that the parent did not have view permissions for. With this correction, the parent will now only receive information for fields in the referral that align with the specific field permissions granted by the school district. This improvement ensures that parents receive accurate and relevant information while maintaining the privacy and security of sensitive data in accordance with the designated field permissions.

FOCUS-39263- Online Application: Change State Entry to 2 Characters

For customers who have not enabled the "International Addresses" system preference, a change has been made to the online application's state field. Previously, this field accepted up to 255 characters, but now it will only allow a maximum of 2 characters for the state abbreviation. It's important to note that this adjustment will only affect new entries and will not impact existing data in the address.state field where the length exceeds 2 characters. This change ensures that the state field aligns with the specific requirements and limitations for customers without the "International Addresses" preference enabled.

FOCUS-39177- Late Check-In/Early Release: Allow Notes for Check-Ins not Associated with Schedule Records

This enhancement introduces the capability to input text for students who are not currently scheduled in an active period or scheduled record in the Attendance Late Check-In and Early Release feature. This enhancement empowers users to add notes for special situations, providing greater flexibility and context in attendance management. This branch includes a schema change by adding a new column "notes" to the table "kiosk_entries" (kiosk_entries.notes VARCHAR 255). When a note is entered via the report that is tied to an active period schedule record, the applicable attendance_period.attendance_reason value is also updated.

See Late Check In/Early Release for more information.

FOCUS-39168- Attendance: New Filter Feature on Absence Summary

This enhancement enables the ability to apply filters to multiple columns in the Absence Summary Report, enhancing the flexibility and customization of the report's data presentation.

See Absence Summary for details about this new feature.

FOCUS-38987- Parent/ Student Portal: Render Reports with PDF.js

This enhancement involves rendering report cards (non-Laravel) and test score reports using PDF.js on the Parent/Student Portal. This change aims to enhance the user experience on the Community Mobile App, specifically on Android devices, by allowing these reports to be viewed directly without the need for downloading.

FOCUS-37155- Document Management Module Improvements

This feature enhancement in the Document Management Module includes the following additions:

1) Added the Uploaded Files Report to the Users menu.

2) Introduced profile permissions for Users to align with the existing options found in the Students section for 'Edit Academic Student Record' in Print Letters & Send Email.

3) Implemented profile permissions for Users in alignment with the available options in the Students section for 'Uploaded Files Report'.

4) Added a dropdown for the Academic Record Category in the Users->Print Letters & Send Email section

See Uploaded Files Report and Print Letters & Send Email for more information.

FOCUS-36760- Attendance: Allow Incomplete Attendance with No Default Selected

With this enhancement, in cases where the school lacks attendance codes designated as the default for teachers, teachers are required to manually input attendance records for each student in the relevant course period. If attendance is taken for specific students rather than all, teachers will still appear on the administrator's Teacher Completion Report until all attendance entries are completed.
