This update introduces a change to the 'All Groups' tab, allowing users with permission to edit their own groups but not others' groups to see the save button.

However, groups created by others will remain uneditable, with their corresponding rows locked, maintaining the integrity of group permissions.

FOCUS-42204- Print Avery Labels: Improved Error Messaging

This update enhances the user experience in the Print Avery Labels section. When selecting "To all Contacts having Custody" for label creation, if a student's contact lacks an address, a more user-friendly error message will now appear.

See Elementary Scheduler > Understanding the Layout of the Elementary Scheduler for more information.

FOCUS-42164- Scheduling: Resolve Requests Reports with My Preferences Display Name Setting

This update fixes an issue in the Scheduling Menu's Requests Report.

Now, the report will generate correctly regardless of the selected display name preference.

FOCUS-42151- Advanced Reports: Improved Messaging for Default Filters for Large Datasets

This update introduces a new feature for Advanced Reports when the 'Default Filters On' system preference is enabled. If a report generates more than 1000 results, leading to pagination, a popup will now appear when users attempt to use filters, informing them that all results must be displayed on the page for the filters to function as expected. This enhancement aims to guide users on how to effectively apply filters in large datasets.

See Advanced Report (Students) and Advanced Report (Users) for details.

FOCUS-42135- Communication Platform: Templates List Not Showing All Templates for Users with Permission

This update enhances the permissions logic related to the creation and editing of communication templates. Previously, when a user with permission to create templates but not edit announcements made a template, it lacked associated school IDs, causing visibility issues for other users. Now, the system checks the appropriate permissions when templates are created or edited: 'Communication View' permission for the creator and 'Templates Created By Others' Edit permission for other users. Additionally, a migration will update existing templates to associate them with the correct schools based on the creator's access, ensuring proper template visibility and access across users.

FOCUS-42063- Translations: Automatically Translate Report Cards & Standard Report Card Templates

This update introduces an enhancement for report cards and standard grade report cards for customers with the Communication Platform Translations add-on. Letterhead templates will now automatically translate into the student's language, as specified in the default language field. This automation applies unless the template has already been manually translated, in which case the original translation will be preserved, ensuring that customized content remains intact.

See Translations, Report Cards, Standard Grades Report Cards, and Letterhead Templates for more information.

FOCUS-41993- Communication Platform: Prevent Scheduling Messages in the Past

The Schedule popup in the Communication Platform has been updated to prevent scheduling in the past. Users will now receive an error if they attempt to schedule a message for a past date or time. For today's date, the time must be set in the future. Additionally, when rescheduling a recurring message, users must select a new start date. This update also includes enhancements to the mobile app, aligning its time input validation with the regular Focus interface.

See Communication (Admin) and Communication (Teacher) for more information.

FOCUS-41977- Parent Auth: New Limit Parent Registration to Custodial Contacts Preference

A new system preference has been introduced: "Only allow custodial contacts to register for parent account based on the contact's email." When enabled, this feature requires that individuals registering for a Parent Portal account via the /auth procedure must use an email address matching that of a custodial contact associated with the student to link to the student's account. This preference is initially set to off to preserve existing functionality and does not apply when an administrator manually links a parent to a student through the Address & Contacts screen.

See System Preferences > Parent Registration and Parent Portal Registration (Student/Parent) for more information.

FOCUS-41507- Communication Platform: Improve Rendering of Tables in Messages

FOCUS-41162- Communication Platform: Inbox Migration for Missing Regarding Student

This update introduces a migration that significantly enhances the functionality of the Communication Platform. It updates recipient records for messages exchanged between teachers and parents about a student, specifically targeting those records missing a 'regarding_student_id' following the platform's implementation. This change consolidates conversations about the same student into a single thread, ensuring that all recipient records include a 'regarding_student_id'.

FOCUS-40119- New School Report Enhancement

A new feature, the School Report, has been added to the setup menu under district information. This report provides a detailed overview of all district schools, showcasing their fields while excluding logging fields and computed tables. Users with edit permissions can now update information for individual schools or conduct mass updates. Additionally, this feature allows for the saving of reports and their selected filters, enabling users to perform targeted updates and access saved reports efficiently.

See School Report for more information.

FOCUS-42189- *Course being set with unexpected Course Length Value

FOCUS-39916- Form Builder: New Footer Editor Feature

This branch introduces a 'Footers' tab in Setup>Form Builder, mirroring the Header Builder's functionality. Users can now create and manage footers, with settings integrated into the Form Builder and visible under Form Settings. The 'Footer Type' dropdown in Form Settings and the SSS>Setup>Sequences Tab includes options like 'None', 'Student Footer', and any saved custom footers. This ensures consistent application across forms and custom screens, similar to the Step Header. Moreover, custom footers attached to SSS Events become locked upon the event's lock, maintaining their defined content and structure.

See Form Builder for more information.
