FOCUS-39846- Periods: Default Times in Newly Created Bell Schedules

This branch introduces a feature that automatically populates the times in newly created bell schedules based on a default bell schedule, if one is marked as default. This streamlines the process of setting up new bell schedules by using the predefined timings from the default schedule.

See Periods > Adding an Additional Bell Schedule for more information.

FOCUS-39703- Attendance: Improve Entry of Prior Attendance on Take Attendance

This branch introduces enhanced client-side functionality to the Take Attendance table. When a student is listed multiple times in the table, selecting a past attendance item will ensure all related dropdowns for that specific student's attendance on that date are updated to the same attendance code. This consistency is maintained only if the system preference "Students can have attendance for more than one section in a period (not recommended)" is set to 'No'. This adjustment is to ensure a uniform attendance record for the student.

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

This branch resolves an issue in the Form Builder where a text area, when programmatically set to be required and enabled, prevented users from typing. Now, with the update, the rich text area functions correctly, permitting users to input text as intended.

FOCUS-38760- Attendance: Improve Returned Results in Attendance Summary

On the Attendance Summary page, when opting for the "Simple list" view and specifying timeframes, the system currently returns zeros if the chosen timeframes do not align with the last quarter the student attended. This branch addresses this discrepancy to ensure accurate data representation.

FOCUS-38726- Builder Reports: Incorporate Rotation in Evaluating Singletons in Overlapping Singletons Report

For schools that utilize Rotation Days, there was a discrepancy in the Builder Reports. If singletons were scheduled in the same period but on different rotation days, they were incorrectly displayed under the "Overlapping Singletons" in the Builder Reports. This branch addresses this issue by ensuring that these singleton sections no longer appear in the overlapping section, offering a more accurate representation of the scheduling.

FOCUS-38206- FAS: Rescore Assessment Enhancement

For customers utilizing the Focus Assessment System (FAS) add-on module, this branch introduces an enhancement. A "rescore assessment" function has been added, allowing users the option to rescore assessments when there's an update or change to an assessment item. This not only ensures that assessments remain accurate and reflective of the most recent criteria, but it also significantly saves time for teachers and administrators, eliminating the need to manually rescore tests when errors in test configuration are identified and rectified.

See District Assessments > Re-scoring an Assessment (admin), District Assessments > Re-scoring an Assessment (teacher), and Scheduled Jobs > Built-In Scheduled Jobs Explained for more information.
