  • Updated styling of the retired curriculum units in the information selection. The units are shaded darker and identified with the word RETIRED preceding the unit names.
  • Retired units are now hidden from the information list when the filter is set to 'Show information for data entry'. They can be made visible by checking the Show Retired box when the filter is set to either 'Show all information', 'Show current and historical information', or 'Show current information'. See example below.

  • A tab (Admin tab): added the 'login as a user' feature to the staff section.
  • Data import via Data Entry window works without student names, as long as the students have a Local ID and/or State ID.
  • Fixes:
    • In the Develop tab, filtering by retired units (Show Retired) has been fixed.

Version 2.0.7.0

  • Custom Reports section under 'A' tab is now complete. It allows you to create custom reports; bindings, conditional, terms, PDF, view report, export/import fo files, export/import custom reports, copy report, and delete a report.
  • New 'All Information' feature available for individual students. Under Individual tab, select student(s), click Select Information, select All Information at the top of the list, click on Raw Data (above Custom Reports). The data displays as a spreadsheet and can be exported.
  • 'Ignores Automatic Updates' feature available at the Year, School, Course, and Section level. When checked, it will prevent the assignment import to change it.
  • All Students note field data entry supports multiple lines, and now allows to remove notes from all students.
  • Export to PDF with Colors!! You can now export a student criterion report that has colors into a pdf with colors as well.
  • New Data Entry Export/Import: right from the Data Entry screen, a group of students with or without data can be exported, and reimported with new data. This feature no longer needs the complete curriculum paths in order to import data, it uses the criterion names from the unit selected.
