November(ii) updates

Here are some of the recent updates and fixes we have introduced into the system during the second half of November. 

Recurring appointment notification

In the timetable or My schedule menu header it is possible to create recurring events for meetings, tasks, or even to block rooms from being used. We have now introduced a notification to inform users of whether the appointment was set as a recurring event. If a user wishes to delete the appointment, they can now choose the correct option more easily.

More additions to quick reports

On the particulars tab of both student and user profiles, there is the possibility to enter a comment. This can now be exported via quick reports.

Subject specifications

When schools wished to pull an assessment grade from another is exam term, this was done via the stated term assessment type. It is now possible to use stated term grades across all assessment builds. This allows for schools to have an assessment build per term period with multiple primary assessment grades. This makes it easier to configure student profile assessment view, update Transcripts and BC TRAX reporting.

Improvements and minor fixes;

• Reordered the room drop down list in the course schedule tab to be classed per block and in alphabetical order.
• If a 0 was given as an assignment grade for students, it did not show on certain student portal pages. This has now been repaired.
• Export to excel was showing a PHP code error when a large population was selected. This has now been removed.
• The enrolment and assessment tabs within the students profile have been improved to show the system year information rather than the current year. This makes it easier when time travelling to check student information.
