FOCUS-39060- Portal: Do Not Load Alerts for Deleted Re-Enrollment Forms

This branch prevents the Portal from attempting to load Portal Alerts tied to a re-enrollment form that has been deleted, thereby eliminating errors for end-users on their portal.

FOCUS-39053- Online Enrollments: Performance Improvement to Report

To enhance the overall load performance of the Online Enrollments report, this branch implements a feature that loads only the active tab upon initiation. This improvement helps to reduce the initial loading time and provides a smoother user experience. Other tabs will be loaded only when accessed, further optimizing the report's performance.

FOCUS-38930- Add a Student: Improve Error Messaging for Email Format

This branch enhances the error messaging for end-users using the Add a Student program. Now, when they enter an invalid email format for student contacts, they will receive a more informative and user-friendly error message. This improvement aims to assist users in providing valid email addresses, leading to a smoother and error-free experience while using the program.

FOCUS-38687- Transcripts: New Option to Include Grade Level on Test History Output

This enhancement introduces a new option called "Include Grade Level on Testing Information" to the Transcripts feature. When this option is selected, the transcript generation process will incorporate Test History information, including the corresponding grade level from the student's test history record. This addition provides users with a more comprehensive and detailed view of the student's testing performance.

This branch ensures the accurate display of JSON-denoted student data in Advanced Reports.

FOCUS-38561- Mass Add Log Records: Require Approval Feature Compatibility

FOCUS-38498- Attendance: Exclude Students with 0 Days in Perfect/Excessive Attendance Report

This branch restores the intended functionality of the Perfect/Excessive Attendance report by adding filter criteria to exclude students with 0 skip days. With this enhancement, the report will now accurately display attendance data, filtering out students who have not skipped any days.

FOCUS-38218- Parent Portal: Improve Display of Letter Log to Parents

This branch updates the display of the Letter Log on the Parent Portal. Previously, it gave the impression to end-users that they could edit the logging field data without proper edit rights. However, their data entries were not being saved to the database.

FOCUS-38169- Discipline: Restore Functionality of Teacher View of Student Referrals

This branch reinstates the intended functionality of the system preference "Teachers Discipline Referral View." When set to "All referrals entered by any user," teachers will now be restricted to seeing only the students actively scheduled into their classes. If a district wants teachers to view all referrals for any student in the school, they should also select the additional system preference called "Enable search entire school for teachers" in conjunction with the one mentioned above. This enhancement ensures that the system preferences work as expected and provide the desired level of access for teachers to discipline referrals.

FOCUS-37314- Document Management: New Mass Add Files Feature

We are thrilled to announce a new feature in the Document Management add-on module, which introduces two powerful tools for easy mass uploading of student and user files to file upload fields. With the Import Student Files and Import Staff Files features, schools and districts using the Document Management module can now effortlessly upload documents in bulk, as long as the individual files contain the relevant student or staff ID selected in the configuration. This enhancement streamlines the process of managing documents, saving time and effort for users. If you're interested in learning more about the Focus Document Management add-on module, please reach out to your support representative for further details.
