June 2022

We are into the final session of the year and are pleased to announce that most of our independent school clients have updated their announcement module. We hope you like the new features. Check out the articles and if you have a question then let our support team know.

Programme builder

For our higher education institutes, we have added the possibility to roll over the programmes in bulk. Use the bulk update button and we have a new tab with the same functionality available for individual rollover. 

Further updates were;

• Added applicant enrolment status to programme list view.
• This status is now available when exporting.
• The enrolment status was added to the registration tab.
• When selecting the module from the calendar view, users are now sent directly to the course and not the parent programme.

Questionnaire updated

It is now possible to send the completed questionnaire back to the submitter in PDF form, so they have a confirmation and a copy they can save for reference. 

You must create a new confirmation message using edit messages. There is no system default message, so a new one needs to be added.

Once a confirmation template is set, the option to attach the submitted replies in PDF form will be available. Don't forget to select attach to student files if you wish to keep a copy for your internal records.

Behavioral events can hold attachments

When creating a behavioural event, you can now add an attachment to the communication. 

Why not use it to promote achievements and attach a PDF certificate for the student to share?

We also did some changes to the following functionalities;

• Worked on time out fields which were not saving correctly.
• Missing information pop up was showing wrong details as errors.
• When cancelling or closing an event the user is now directed to the history view page.

Time line added to My Schedules

We have now added a time line to the My Schedule view, which picks up from your regional settings on the system, and adds a line to show the current time of day.

Changes to IEP rollover

When using the IEP module, we have changed the rollover behaviour for students. When selecting rollover, it will check to see if the student is in an active class for the target rollover year. make sure your students are enrolled in a future class before hand. Otherwise they will not be rolled over.

• The incomplete attendance dashlet was showing non-active courses. This is now resolved across the system.
