Patch Release Notes - 7.0.20160811_sync

Massachusetts & Pennsylvania Sync Version Only.

Description

• Fixes related to “Modify Schedule”  (aka Schedule Summary screen)
  • Now able to schedule students into study halls.
  • All sections of a courses will no longer be deleted when the user was intending to remove only one section.
  • Scheduling conflict message will no longer appear for courses that were “Removed.”
  • Classes will no longer appear on a student’s schedule if they have been “Removed.”
  • Print Schedule screen (Schedule – By Period, Schedule – By Rotation) will no longer display a duplication of Time and Period Blocks.
• Now able to find “new” students with no enrollment record in the New School Year on the student search screens. Must use Enrollment = None.
• Now able to see students on the “Notebook” icon class roster screen when the class has no scheduled meeting time.
• Now able to update the Room Catalog screen in Firefox and Chrome.

Notes:

• This patch release will make it so courses cannot be REMOVED if they have a status of “Dropped” (that is what was causing the issues). The “Remove” check box is no longer available to check off if the course has been dropped.

Therefore, you will only be able to remove active courses.  If you Drop a course accidentally you must first RESTORE the course section and then REMOVE it.

• NOTE: Dropped courses will continue to appear on a student’s schedule on the Print Schedule (Schedule-By Period).  If you do not want a course section to appear on a student’s schedule you should REMOVE the course (as opposed to Dropping it)
  • A DROP is used AFTER school begins to allow access to grades even after a section is dropped and to maintain the history. EOY state reporting requires courses reported October 1 for a student be reported in June.
  • In a later patch we will make it so “dropped” course sections do NOT appear on a student’s schedule.
• When searching for students in the Next School year, if a student does not have an enrollment record you must set the “Enrollment” parameter = “None”. “All” will not currently find the student.
