FOCUS-40512- Student Portal Block: Fix student grade incorrectly displayed based on user selected school

We've addressed an issue where parents with multiple students experienced unintended shifts in displayed information. Previously, when switching between different student's details, the school session selection could impact the Student Block display. With this update, parents can now seamlessly navigate between their children's details without any unexpected changes, ensuring a smoother and more accurate user experience.

FOCUS-40501- Form Builder: Improved Display of Text Wrapping when Previewing

Previously, while previewing forms created with the form builder in the Chrome browser, some links with longer text would extend beyond the page boundaries. With this update, long link texts will now wrap properly within the page, ensuring all content remains visible and accessible.

FOCUS-40494- School Choice: Resolve Issue with School Choice Report Exceptionalities Value for Ohio Customers

With this update, we've addressed an issue related to the School Choice Report for our Ohio customers. The report will now accurately display ESE exceptionality information by sourcing data from the relevant Ohio State Reporting field, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the information presented.

FOCUS-40482- Proficiency Gradebook: Resolve Display of Assignments Appearing Twice

With this update, we've addressed a problem in the Proficiency Gradebook. Before, when using an excluded custom grade, assignments would erroneously be duplicated for the same standard. This branch ensures that assignments are now presented accurately without any unnecessary repetitions.

FOCUS-40481- Graduation Requirements Report: Incorporate Missing Course into Statistics Scholar Designation Criteria (Florida Only)

This update addresses an oversight in the Graduation Requirement Report's Scholar Designation section for Florida customers. Previously, the course "PROB & STAT HONORS 1210300" wasn't recognized as fulfilling the "Earned 1 Credit in Statistics or Equally-Rigorous Course" requirement. With this correction, the report now accurately identifies and credits this course towards the mentioned requirement.

FOCUS-40478- Print Letters & Send Emails: Resolve Missing DataTable in Generated PDFs to Student Letter Log

This update addresses an inconsistency experienced during the letter printing process from the "Print Letters & Send Emails" feature. Previously, when a letter was printed, a corresponding entry was made in the student's Letter Log. This entry included a copy of the generated PDF. However, due to some missing CSS, certain dataTables within the PDF were not being displayed in their entirety. With the implementation of this branch, this discrepancy has been rectified, ensuring that the Letter Log's PDF copy displays the content correctly and without any cutoffs.

FOCUS-40466- Portal: Respect Adjusted Permissions in ToolTip Display

With this update, we've enhanced the security and accuracy of the user tooltip feature. Previously, if a user added a field to their tooltip and subsequently lost access to that field, the field would still be displayed in the tooltip. Now, with the implementation of this branch, the system performs a permission check when generating the tooltip fields. This ensures that only fields the user currently has access to will be displayed, maintaining the integrity of user permissions.

FOCUS-40461- Graduation Requirements Report: Ensure Prior Year Grade Records Display

This update rectifies a problem on the Promotion Requirements Report. Previously, courses and grades from a different school in prior years were not displayed in certain instances. With this change, the report now accurately reflects all relevant courses and grades.

FOCUS-40458- Communication Platform: Improved Attendance Setup by Removing 'All' Option

With this update, we've improved the user experience in the Communication Platform, Attendance Setup. Previously, the attendance codes would default to "All," but wouldn't function as expected. With the implementation of this branch, the "All" option has been removed from the period dropdown. Now, unless a specific attendance code is selected, no codes will be populated, ensuring clarity and accuracy in attendance tracking.

FOCUS-40450- Online Application: Allow Adding/Removing MIME Type Files

With this update, we've enhanced the functionality of the online application process. Previously, there was an issue with handling MIME type files in file upload fields, especially when trying to delete them, which would result in an error. This branch addresses that concern, ensuring smooth uploads and deletions of MIME type files, providing a more seamless user experience.

FOCUS-40444- Scheduling: Resolve Issue Displaying Certain Scheduling Fields in Print Class Lists

This update enhances the functionality of the "Print Class Lists" feature. Previously, including certain scheduling fields would lead to errors, preventing them from being displayed in the final report. With this branch, we've addressed this inconsistency, ensuring that all selected fields by the end-user are accurately displayed in the generated report, improving reliability and user experience.

FOCUS-40443- Gradebook: Do Not Apply Decimal Rounding Preference to Overall Grade

With the recent update, we've enhanced the precision and clarity in the display of rounded grades. Prior to this change, there could be discrepancies where the rounded grade's points and the corresponding letter grade might not align. To address this, the branch extends the displayed grade to an additional decimal place, offering greater differentiation and accuracy. Furthermore, the system preference that used to determine the decimal places for gradebook assignment points has been adjusted. While it used to affect the decimals in overall grades points (primarily seen with proficiency gradebooks), it will no longer do so. Now, overall grades points are set to consistently display two decimal places.

FOCUS-40438- Student Contacts: Improved Behavior of Email Entry by Auto-Trimming Whitespace

With the recent update, we've enhanced the user experience when inputting email addresses into the contact section. Previously, unintentionally including an extra space at the end of an email would trigger an error message, prompting users to enter a valid email address. With the implementation of this branch, the system now automatically trims any extraneous spaces from the end of the email input, ensuring a seamless and efficient saving process without errors due to minor oversights.

FOCUS-40430- Advanced Reports: Improved Filtering Logic in Saved Reports

This update addresses an issue in advanced reports with pagination and filters. Previously, when filters were applied to paginated results, it could disrupt the filtering process and printing functionality. Now, when a filter is already applied to a report with multiple pages, the system will automatically consolidate the results onto a single page, ensuring that filtering and printing function as intended.

FOCUS-40428- Alternative Zero Amount Check Handling

System improvement allowing zero dollar AP checks to be processed in Purchasing/Accounts Payable > Accounts Payable > Checks. To view Run: ACH/Manual tab, Type Manual, Amount: Zero Documents Only.

FOCUS-40421- Attendance: Improved Performance on Late Check In/Early Release Report

In the previous version, users encountered performance issues when attempting to access the Late Check in / Early Release screen. With the implementation of this branch, the efficiency of the Late Check in / Early Release screen has been significantly improved. This update streamlines the user experience and ensures timely access to pertinent information.

FOCUS-40419- Communication Platform: Push Notifications for Class Announcements

With the implementation of this branch, a new feature is introduced to the Communication Platform. Teachers now have a "Push Notifications" option available on the announcement page. By selecting this feature, teachers can send push notifications directly to the students in the specified section, ensuring timely and direct communication. This enhancement streamlines communication and offers an immediate mode of reaching students.

See Communication (Teachers) for more details.

FOCUS-40404- Gradebook Templates: Correct Sync when Adding & Removing Standards

This branch addresses a problem where updating standards for previously synchronized assignments didn't reflect accurately in the gradebook. Now, when you add or remove standards from assignments within gradebook templates, the system will ensure proper records are established, modified, or removed as needed.

FOCUS-40396- School Choice: New Custom Field "Show on Application" Enhancement

This update enhances the customization options for the School Choice Application form in the School Choice Setup section. With this enhancement:

- A new 'Show on Application' setting is introduced for custom fields under Customize Application (Magnet, SPA, Choice). If 'Show on Application' is activated, the custom field will be displayed on the Application form.

- For a custom field to appear with its values on the School Choice Report, both 'Show on Report' and 'Show on Application' must be enabled. If only 'Show on Report' is enabled for a custom field, it will show up on the report, but its values will be blank.

By default, both 'Show on Report' and 'Show on Application' will be activated for new custom fields to ensure a seamless experience. To maintain existing functionality, a migration has been added to automatically enable the 'Show on Application' setting for all pre-existing custom fields.

See School Choice Setup > Setting Up Custom Fields and School Choice Reports > Viewing the Student List Tabs and Verifying Application Information for more information.

FOCUS-40392- Communication Platform: Resolve Display of Previous Year Inactive Students in Communication Report

Following the recent update in this branch, improvements have been made to the communication report functionality. In the past, if a user attempted to message a student from a previous year who was marked as inactive, the system would display an "insufficient permission" error. Now, with the new changes, users can seamlessly view the message and its recipients without any permission-related hindrances.

FOCUS-40380- Receiving an Error on Transcripts (CTE Grouping) on non Florida site

With this update, the functionality for generating Transcripts in non-Florida postsecondary institutions has been refined. Previously, when the "CTE" option was chosen under Transcript Grouping, the system encountered issues.

FOCUS-40372- Scheduling: Improve Section Naming Convention Logic for Advanced Rotation Scenarios

With this branch update, schools utilizing the "Advanced Rotation" feature will now see the rotation days correctly included in the section title when the number of rotation days selected for a section is fewer than the set rotation days. Previously, the rotation days were omitted from the section title in such scenarios.

FOCUS-40365- Communication Platform: Manual Translations for Templates Improvement

With the introduction of this branch, when users add a manual translation to a template within the Communication Platform, the translation is retained even after saving the template. Previously, manual translations would disappear once the template was saved. This update ensures that the manual translations persist and are appropriately displayed on the compose screen when the template is applied.

FOCUS-40318- Post Final Grades: Respect Teacher Comment Preference Posting Progress Periods Grades

Previously, even when the grading preference "Force teachers to enter a comment if they override posted grades" was enabled, teachers were not prompted with a popup when entering a grade that differed from the "Use Gradebook Grade" option during progress periods. This branch has addressed and rectified this oversight, ensuring that teachers receive the appropriate notification when necessary, promoting consistent adherence to grading protocols.

See Post Final Grades (Teachers) for additional information.

FOCUS-40225- Transcripts: Prefer School Location in Grouping

The branch introduces an enhancement to the transcript output when grouping by Year & Course. Now, the output prioritizes the School Location value derived from student_report_card_grades over the general school's title. This adjustment ensures that transcripts offer a more accurate representation of where students earned their grades.

FOCUS-39981- Graduation Requirements Report not showing credit columns for some grades

With this update, the Graduation Requirements Overview Report has been enhanced to correctly display Graduation Subjects when filtering by grade. Previously, there was a discrepancy in how these subjects were presented, but the branch ensures that users now see accurate and expected results when conducting such searches.

FOCUS-39853- Communication Platform: Direct Message Linked Parents

With the latest update, users now have the capability to directly message a contact in the Communication Platform.

See Student Info for more information.

FOCUS-39817- Portal: Exclude Inactive Students in the Absences Alerts

This branch addresses a concern where the attendance alert was including students who had been dropped. Now, the "yesterday's absences" alert ensures that it only notifies for students who were absent the previous day and have not been dropped from the system on the current day.

FOCUS-38304- User Info: Respect Inactive Schools in User Permissions

This branch ensures schools that are deemed inactive by School Info Min and Max Year Settings are not selectable for new User Permission school assignments.

FOCUS-35224- Discipline: New Positive Behaviors Feature Enhancements

This update introduces several enhancements to the Positive Behavior feature:

- A new 'Include on Portal' column has been added to Positive Behavior setup. This new setting allows customers to choose what "awards" should display to parents on their portal. When a student earns a badge with this setting activated, it will display on the Parent Portal.

- A new profile permission titled 'Edit District-wide badges' has been added to the Discipline section, specifically under Positive Behaviors. When this permission is disabled, badges deemed 'district-wide' will not be displayed in the Positive Behaviors setup screen.

To enhance user experience on the Parent portal, the Florida Statewide Assessments logo link will now be positioned above all tabs. This adjustment ensures the logo isn't obscured or cut off within the student information box.

See Positive Behaviors for more information and Portal (parent/student) for more information.

FOCUS-29673- Scheduling: New Hide Period Option on Print Student Schedules

We're excited to announce an enhancement to Print Student Schedules. You now have the option to streamline the printed schedule with the new 'Hide Periods' checkbox. When selected, this feature will remove the period number column, offering a cleaner look to your printed student schedules. This is especially useful for institutions or scenarios where period numbers might not be relevant or necessary.

See Print Student Schedules for more information.

FOCUS-40505- SSS: Adding Support for Multi-Select Fields in Form Triggers

Prior to this update, when using a dropdown with form triggers in an SSS Event to add or hide a step, only the first selected step would be affected, even if multiple selections were made. With the implementation of this branch, now, if multiple selections are made in that dropdown, each selection will correctly trigger the addition or hiding of its respective step in the SSS Event. This ensures all steps associated with your dropdown selections are appropriately adjusted, enhancing the accuracy and functionality of the system.

FOCUS-40412- Form Builder: Form Association Now Follows Students from Applicants School

With the latest updates from this branch, the Formbuilder forms are now more resilient in their association with students. Even if a student switches from an Applicant school to another school within the organization, their Formbuilder forms will remain linked to them. This enhancement ensures continuity in data and streamlines administrative tasks across various schools in the organization.

FOCUS-40330- SSS: Resolve Issue in Forms without School Year Defined

In the previous version, if an event was initiated and locked during a time when no active marking periods existed, a collection error would display in the print preview due to the absence of a set school year (syear). With the implementation of this branch, such occurrences are now handled seamlessly. As a result, even if an event is locked without active marking periods, users no longer encounter collection errors in the print preview, ensuring a smoother user experience.

FOCUS-40308- SSS: Improve Clearing Signatures on Form Builder Forms

Previously, users encountered an issue where attempting to clear either the authorization or bypass authorization signatures persisted even after saving the step in the SSS event. With the introduction of this branch, the system has been updated to properly remove signatures when cleared by the user. After saving the SSS event step, the cleared signatures no longer appear, ensuring a more accurate and user-friendly experience.

FOCUS-40220- SSS: New"Ready to Sign" Manage Student Enhancement

A new "Parent Signatures" column has been added to the Manage Student Screen, situated between the Content and Status Columns. This column features a "Ready to Sign" button. When users click on this button, a pop-up confirmation emerges asking if they wish to send the respective event to parents for signing. Choosing to proceed prompts two outcomes based on parent profile permissions. If permissions for the event are already set, parents receive an alert in their portal and can view and sign the event. If not, the alert and event remain hidden until permissions are set. Before a parent signs, the status displays "Pending Signature." After signing, the column reflects the date of the signature. Importantly, even if a parent's signature is not secured, users still retain the capability to lock events. This enhancement aims to simplify the signature process from parents and provide a transparent workflow for users.

See Manage Student > Sending an Event to Parents for Signatures and Form Builder > Setting Up an E-Signature for more information.

FOCUS-40207- SSS: New "Instructional Services - How" Options added in IEP Event

With this branch update, the "Instructional Services - How" dropdown in the IEP Event has been enhanced to include three new options: "Acceleration," "Curriculum Compacting," and "Enrichment." These additions have been integrated in alphabetical order to maintain clarity and ease of use.

FOCUS-40090- SSS: Improved Display of Attendance in Events Spanning Multiple School Years

Previously, there was an inconsistency in the SSS Event when initiated in the 22-23 school year but left unlocked. The Attendance data in the collection was sourced from the 2022-2023 school year, not the intended 2023-2024 period. With the recent branch update, this discrepancy has been addressed. Now, if an event is initiated in a previous school year and remains unlocked, the Attendance Summary table in the Truancy Monitoring Plan event will rightly pull data from the current school year. This ensures accuracy and reliability in data representation for users.

FOCUS-40086- SSS: Improve Event-Level Lock Permissions

Previously, if a user had only the event-level lock permission set in SSS>User Profile Permissions, they were unable to lock events with a pre-lock action. However, with the recent branch update, this limitation has been addressed. Users can now lock events that have a pre-lock action, regardless of whether they have just the event-level lock permission or the broader program-lock permission. This enhancement offers more flexibility and accessibility in the permission system for users.

FOCUS-39805- SSS: New Tool Allowing Regeneration of Header/Footer in Events

This branch introduces a new feature in SSS > General, labeled 'Tool for re-generating header and footer data'. This tool enables users to manually refresh the header or footer details of particular events and steps. Additionally, an issue was resolved where the footer for the first record incorrectly displayed the wrong student when a comma-separated list of events was used.

See General (admin) and General (teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-40215- Course Catalog: Resolve Display of Date Fields in Store Catalog for Postsecondary

With the introduction of this branch, an issue in the store catalog has been addressed. Previously, date fields would only be displayed when the source_class of an item was set to 'CoursePeriod'. This meant that items with 'WholeCoursePeriod' as their source_class were not showing date fields. The branch rectifies this oversight, ensuring that date fields are correctly displayed for both 'CoursePeriod' and 'WholeCoursePeriod' items.
