FOCUS-39246- Re-Enrollment Forms: Several Fixes Included

This branch incorporates various resolutions for reported issues related to re-enrollment forms, including:

1. Resolution of an issue with the System Preference "Make Required Re-Enrollment Forms Student Specific." When this preference is unselected, parents will see all relevant students' required forms and must complete them before accessing any student data. When selected, after submitting a required form for a student, parents will gain access to that student's data while other required forms for other students remain outstanding.

2. Inclusion of the School Year setting within the Student Re-Enrollment Form logging field.

3. Parents will now see all required re-enrollment forms on their Parent Portal without needing to switch school years, regardless of the School Year setting defined. However, the form's approval requirement will be determined by the school year setting, controlling the portal alert and approval eligibility based on the student's current and next year enrollment.

4. For parents connected to multiple students, all forms will be visible on the Parent Portal, eliminating the need for parents to toggle between students to access the forms.

These improvements address various aspects of the re-enrollment process, enhancing the experience for parents and streamlining the handling of required forms across different scenarios and school years.

See System Preferences, Application Editor, and Student Info: Re-enrollment for the reflected changes.

FOCUS-39339- Advanced Reports: Performance Improvement

This branch enhances the performance during the loading of Advanced Reports, particularly in scenarios where districts have set up Validations using MatchSQL. With this improvement, the load times for Advanced Reports will be optimized, leading to quicker access

FOCUS-39260- Emails: Leverage District Logo When Available in Email Validation System Messages

This branch introduces an improvement to the system messages sent to end-users when validating their email address. The enhancement involves using the district's logo image instead of the default Focus logo image in these messages. This change adds a personalized touch to the email validation process, enhancing brand consistency.

FOCUS-39204- Custom Fields: Improve Display of Long Text Fields through Interface with View on Permissions

For users with view-only permissions of a long text field, scrolling ability is now added to the display box when clicked. This enhancement allows the display box to accommodate entries with more lines than can be shown within the box's original size. With this improvement, users can easily scroll through and view the entire content of long text entries, ensuring that no information is cut off or hidden.

FOCUS-39037- Permissions: Sort Schools Alphabetically

This branch guarantees that the list of schools is displayed in alphabetical order when adding user permissions. This improvement streamlines the user permission assignment process, making it easier for administrators to locate and select the desired schools and ensuring a more organized and user-friendly experience.

FOCUS-38998- Parent Notifications: Correct Display of Information in Email for Referrals

This branch rectifies an issue concerning Parent Email Notifications regarding referrals. Previously, the email sent to parents contained fields that the parent did not have view permissions for. With this correction, the parent will now only receive information for fields in the referral that align with the specific field permissions granted by the school district. This improvement ensures that parents receive accurate and relevant information while maintaining the privacy and security of sensitive data in accordance with the designated field permissions.

FOCUS-38971- Transcripts: Improve Layout when Generating Transcripts with Letterhead Templates Leveraging the 'Side' Option

This branch aims to resolve an issue where the setting 'default for' in a letterhead template, such as 'Transcripts', includes an additional option called 'Side'. When the 'Side' is set to 'right', it results in a portion of the transcript being cut off. With this correction, the issue causing the cutoff of transcript content when the 'Side' is set to 'right' in the letterhead template will be fixed.

FOCUS-38909- My Calendar: Limit Schools by Profile Permission

This branch restricts the options available in the Calendar's "Add an Event" functionality's "School(s)" dropdown list based on the user's profile permission Users > Calendar. This enhancement ensures that users will only see the schools in the dropdown that are aligned with their specific calendar-related permissions.

FOCUS-36159- Address Catalog: Respect Max/Min Settings on Schools

This branch guarantees that the school selections presented in the Address Catalog accurately reference schools that have been set up with a minimum and maximum school year (min/max syear). This enhancement ensures that the school options provided within the Address Catalog align with the specified school year range, providing accurate and relevant choices for users.

SSS

FOCUS-39171- Only display steps that have data

See Mass Print Events for the reflected changes.

FOCUS-38032- Forms may load data from different students or marking periods

This fix addresses an issue where Form Builder form headers do not reference the correct information for student open at the top. For SSS events, these parameters should always be based on the student being viewed.

CTE

FOCUS-39121- Adding Logic To Exclude Schedule Records From Update

This enhancement is specific to Postsecondary Florida customers. It introduces support for a new checkbox labeled "Exclude From LCP Job" on student schedules. When this checkbox is checked, no updates will be made to that particular schedule record when the LCP Scheduled Job is run. Additionally, this branch addresses an issue where the process failed to log students into the execution history. This issue occurred when students had their "function_level_subject_area_1" and "pre_test_id_1" set but not an LCP. To ensure the successful implementation and testing of these changes, it's recommended that Postsecondary Florida customers have their Florida Reports up to date prior to testing.

See Scheduled Jobs for more information.

FOCUS-39035- Fix Attendance Report hanging when no students are selected

This fix is specifically designed for Postsecondary customers. It resolves an issue related to the Attendance Hours Report, where the report would not load if a program that contained no students was selected in the "More Search Options" before conducting a search. With this correction, the Attendance Hours Report will now load without any issues, even if a program with no students was previously selected in the "More Search Options."
