The filter defaults to All Categories to preserve existing functionality. When a category is selected, only rules with criteria or a linked field in that category will display. Rules without criteria will be excluded, even if their SQL affects that category. Adding a rule while filtered by a category functions the same as when using the All Categories view.

This update resolves an issue in the Graduation Requirements Report for Florida customers where the Scholar Designation section incorrectly displayed a checkmark and hourglass for the "Earned 1 Credit in AP/AICE/Dual Enrollment" requirement when students were only scheduled into a 0.5 credit course.

This update ensures the voc_c_1 and voc_c_2 fields in the student_report_card_grades table are only set when Florida state reporting is installed.
