SSS

FOCUS-33301- Caseload & Services > 'Service History' Student dropdown no longer limited by School in Top Right all the time

Currently, the Caseload & Services > 'Service History' page provides a list of Students in the Student dropdown based on the School selected in Top Right, and any Providers selected in the Provider dropdown. This branch modifies the Student options in the following way: If the User has the view_all_users permission, the Student list IS restricted by school_id + any selected Providers, in order to limit the total number of students returned. If the User does not have view_all_users permission, the Student list is NOT restricted by school_id but only by Provider, because they may provide Service at a school they do not have SIS permissions to. The Student list in the Student dropdown does not take syear into account, but the search results do because of the date range search option.
