FOCUS-43906- Communication Platform: Improve Communication Replies from an Admin to Student

Previously, if an admin replied to a student in the inbox, the email would not be sent and would show as an error in the inbox. Additionally, the communication reports would indicate that there was no email address. With this update, emails will be sent as expected when an admin replies to a student.

FOCUS-43833- Scheduling: Resolve Error in Master Schedule Report Caused by Empty Strings (Ohio)

This update resolves an error that occurred when attempting to change a value via the Master Schedule Report for customers in Ohio.

This update fixes the issue, ensuring changes can be made without errors.

FOCUS-43808- Student Audit Trail: Resolve Error with Date Range on Address Report

This update resolves an error in the Students Audit Trail, specifically in the Address report, that occurred when the end-user modified the date range. The issue has been fixed to ensure the report functions correctly when adjusting the date range.

FOCUS-43793- Student Portal: Resolve Assignments Displayed with Include Inactive Courses

Currently, when students attempt to view assignments from previous years, they receive an error message stating, "Error: Student is not scheduled in any courses," even if the "include inactive courses" checkbox is checked. This update resolves the issue by ensuring the "include inactive courses" checkbox is considered when creating the link, allowing students to view assignments for inactive courses without encountering an error.

FOCUS-43761- Advanced Report: Don't Display Records with form_record_id for non Form Record Logging Fields

Previously, logging fields in Advanced Report that were once forms records but are now turned off would still show logged fields with a form_record_id.

FOCUS-43739- Communication Platform: Template Migration to Populate Missing District ID Database Value

FOCUS-43639- Custom Fields: New Rich Text Option for Computed Fields

This feature enhancement adds support for Rich Text on Computed Fields configured in Custom Fields. When enabled, the computed field's generated value will support HTML, providing customers with greater flexibility in configuring and displaying computed fields through the interface.

FOCUS-43493- Pull Grades for Report Cards: New Setting "Do not Create Grade if Child Marking Period Grade Missing"

This update introduces a new option on the Pull Grades for Report Cards called "Do not create grade if a child marking period grade is missing." When leveraged the pull grades process will omit adding a grade when a child marking period is missing a grade. A child marking period's definition does not include Exams, which will still be determined by the Grade Posting Averaging setting. This option applies only when pulling a semester or full year grade. If the option is not selected, the grade will pull as it currently does.

See Pull Grades for Report Cards for more information.

FOCUS-43477- Edit Rules & Workflow: Improve Validation Behavior on Add a Student (Criteria Spanning Both Student and Enrollment Fields)

This update improves the Edit Rules & Workflow validation for criteria that span both Student Enrollment Fields and Demographic Fields, applicable to the Add a Student process. The validation will no longer prevent end-users from navigating between the second and third pages of the Add a Student process if the validation prevents saving. This allows end-users to meet the validation requirements by marking the applicable student enrollment or student field value when adding a student.

See Add A Student for details.

FOCUS-43442- Scheduling: Resolve Race Conditions Logic in Elementary Scheduler

This update resolves an issue in the Elementary Scheduler where refreshing the site would cause the race values of students to change, as they were being assigned a random race. The race values will now remain consistent upon refreshing.

FOCUS-43264- Communication Platform: New Warning Message when Sending Messages Within Call Windows

This enhancement adds a new warning message for end-users attempting to send a message through the Communication Platform outside of the organization's defined Call Windows.
