This branch addresses a specific issue related to combining gradebooks for teachers and administrators. Before this branch, if the System Preference 'Allow Teachers to Combine Gradebooks' is not enabled, but the System Preference 'Allow Admins to Combine Gradebooks when Combine Gradebooks is not enabled for Teachers' is enabled, an admin received an error attempting to combine a teacher's sections using 'Custom Groups.' The branch implements a fix to ensure that when the admin attempts to combine a teacher's sections using 'Custom Groups' in this specific scenario, the action is successfully saved.

This branch addresses an issue where attempting to navigate to the next page on a re-enrollment form resulted in an "invalid characters" error. The error was triggered by a parent's name containing special characters. The branch fixes this by implementing multibyte encoding to handle such characters properly.

FOCUS-39405- Discipline: Resolve Display of Inactive Teacher Codes

This branch adjusts the behavior of teacher codes with specified start and end years. Now, a teacher code will be considered inactive if the currently selected school year is before the start year or after the end year, rather than including the start and end years as inactive periods.

FOCUS-39404- Web Pages: Resolve Error Copying Webpages from Prior Years

This branch resolves the issue where users are shown a "The web page has been copied." message even when the web page fails to copy to the current year.

FOCUS-39401- District Reports: Ensure Reports as Portal Alerts Display when No Schools Selected

This branch addresses an issue where District Report Portal Alerts were not being displayed. The problem occurred when the value of custom_reports.school_ids was set to '0', causing Portal Alerts to not show up. The fix involves changing the default value of custom_reports.school_ids from '0' to NULL through a migration. Additionally, existing records with custom_reports.school_ids set to '0' will be updated to have a value of NULL.

FOCUS-39398- SSO: New Native Browser Option for Mobile SSO Login Requests

This branch effectively addresses the issue of Single Sign-On (SSO) login requests on mobile devices, particularly in situations where certain providers like Google and Azure are involved. Previously, there were challenges with using webviews for SSO, leading to errors during login attempts. With this branch, a solution has been implemented that allows OAuth and OpenID Connect profiles to utilize a native browser for all mobile login requests. This enhancement ensures smoother and more reliable SSO experiences on mobile devices, regardless of the specific identity provider being used.

FOCUS-39384- Scheduled Jobs: Update FlEID Import/Export Scheduled Job for New Library

This branch modifies the built-in Scheduled Job responsible for Importing/Exporting FLEID to align with the updated version of Focus' PHPSECLIB library. This update specifically applies to customers involved in Florida State Reporting.

FOCUS-39377- Gradebook: Correct Entry Options on Rubrics in Assignments

Before the branch, there was an issue when adding new criteria and scores in the Rubric section of Gradebook Assignments. The "Percent of Grade" column was missing on the new row, and the description boxes were shifted to the left, causing alignment problems and making it impossible to add a description under the last column. With the branch, these issues have been resolved. When teachers add new criteria and scores in the Rubric section of Gradebook Assignments, all columns are editable and aligned correctly.

FOCUS-39369- Avery Labels: Fix Output in Insert Fields

This branch resolves an issue with the Print Avery Label feature, where custom labels were not generating the correct insert fields as expected. With this correction, the custom labels will now correctly populate the appropriate insert fields, ensuring accurate and consistent label generation.

FOCUS-39179- Discipline: New Feature to Customize 'Detention' Verbiage on Tardy Slip

With this enhancement, a new 'Text' column has been added to the feature for printing Tardy Slips. This addition allows schools to include additional descriptions or notes when printing Tardy slips from the Kiosk/Handheld. This extra column provides flexibility to customize the information displayed on the Tardy slips to better suit the school's needs.

See Attendance Setup > Adding a Tardy Threshold Rule for more information.

FOCUS-39128- Attendance: Overlapping Sections without Preference Enabled

In situations where the setting "Students can have attendance for more than one section in a period" is not enabled, this branch introduces changes to how attendance functions:

Combined Sections:

If a teacher combines their sections, they will not be able to assign two different attendance codes for each period when they have students in both classes. The system ensures that students in combined sections receive the same attendance code in both periods.

Separate Sections:

If a teacher does not combine sections and takes attendance separately for each class taught in the same period, both classes will have the same attendance code in each period if the teacher has students in both classes. This maintains consistency in attendance tracking across the multiple classes a teacher is handling during the same period.

These changes help streamline attendance recording and maintain accuracy when dealing with combined or separate sections in a period, ensuring that attendance codes are applied consistently to students across their classes.

See System Preferences > Default School Preferences > Attendance tab for details about the setting.

FOCUS-39120- User/Student Info: Allow Prepending S in Social Security Numbers

This branch resolves an issue in District Reports where strings were being replaced incorrectly with NULL. The fix also addresses a similar problem with column names, ensuring that the replacement is accurate and appropriate.

FOCUS-39093- Change Requests: Display Students Correctly Based on Enrollment

This branch addresses a problem related to loading pending Change Requests. Previously, the logic in place would incorrectly mark students with lapsed enrollment records as 'dropped', leading to the filtering out of their change requests. This issue has been resolved to ensure that students with valid enrollment records are not affected.

FOCUS-39076- Pulling Grades: Course Flags of Exclude on Grade Records Logic Change (Florida)

This branch is specific to Florida customers. With this branch if a student's Report Card Grade value has a Course Flag 1 through 4 value of X-Exclude, the grade record will not be included in any calculation through Pull Grades for Report Cards.

FOCUS-39057- District Report Cards: Correct Title of Report Card to Progress Report when Applicable

This branch modifies the title of published progress reports when utilizing the District Report Cards feature. Specifically, it updates the title of the progress report from "Report Card" to "Progress Report." This change is designed to provide a more accurate and informative representation of the content and purpose of the progress reports when they are generated and made available through the District Report Cards functionality.

See District Report Cards & Transcripts for more information.

FOCUS-38988- Form Builder: Resolve Disabling Text Area Components with Rich Text Editor

Before this resolution, there was an issue where a text area that was set to be required and enabled through programming would not allow users to type in the text area within the Form Builder. With the branch implementation, this issue has been resolved. Now, when a text area is set to be required and enabled through programming, the rich text area behaves as expected, allowing users to type in the text area within the Form Builder.

FOCUS-38134- Postsecondary: New Option for Attendance when Merging 2 Students

The branch introduces new functionality to the "Merge 2 Students" tab within the "Delete a Student" feature for Postsecondary schools. This enhancement addresses the handling of differing attendance records when merging two students. The changes are as follows:

- Cancel the Merge: This option will prevent the merge from happening and display an error message. The two students won't be merged.

- Keep Student's Attendance: This option maintains the current default behavior. It uses the attendance records of the student that is being kept.

- Use the Greater Attendance: This option selects the greater attendance record, regardless of whether it belongs to the student being kept or the student being deleted. This option is selected by default.

These changes provide more flexibility in handling attendance records during the merging of students.

This enhancement is applicable only to our Postsecondary Customers.
