This page
has a whole new user interface with new features using a modern design.
Changes include the ability to quickly change classes and add new courses.
The new "Edit Mode" allows for adding, deleting and changing
courses and sections very quickly. All sections of a selected course are
immediately displayed to allow users to manually choose the selected section
or click the Reschedule button to let the system handle choosing the best
student schedule. Multiple sections listed for a single period are sorted
based on available seats. Sections are color coded: red if the section is
full, yellow if the teacher’s number of students exceeds their max load and
teacher load monitoring is enabled, blue if the section is available, or
green if the section is selected. Additional information about each section
is available by hovering the mouse over an "Info" graphic. Course
Request Packets are also still available but now multiple packets can be
selected at once. Alternate Course Scheduling is also supported using an
"Edit" graphic next to the course title on the
"Read-Only" side of this page. "View MST" has also been
redesigned to display floating within the window or "docked" to the
bottom of the page. Searching and sorting the View MST screen is now easier
to use. The "Classes Old" page is still available to users if they
aren't ready to make the switch.
The Add Assignment window has a new option to
"Push New Assignment to Selected Gradebooks". If this option is
selected, only the current gradebook and the selected gradebooks will get the
new assignment. This will overwrite the default behavior which will add the
new assignment to all linked gradebooks.

The option
to "Show Assignment Description" now displays the Assignment
Description.
Gradebook Summary Export to
Excel report
This report now displays assignment info below the
summary when the option to "Show Assignment Description" is

circumstances the sorting of students in gradebook and attendance were
different, fixed.

"Next Student" and "Previous
Student" buttons are now available to navigate to the next or previous
student in the class.

this page) now also includes all school but has an option to not include
them.

and Interventions.
Supplemental Attendance by Teacher (New)
This page
now includes a new button to "Check in ALL Students for the Selected
Date". The "Weekly View/Edit" option will no longer force the
display from Monday thru Sunday, but rather show the selected date as the
first day of the week, allowing the new mass check-in to function for the
selected date. Also, this page design has been adjusted to better fit the
screen. Also, this page can now be accessed from the Supplemental Attendance
node without having to select Teacher Emulation. Added a button to print the
new Room Student-Self-Sign-In Sheet report. Also, the page would give an
error when the selected session did not have times defined, fixed.

includes new options to Enable Student Room Sign-In, Range of IP Addresses to
allow to use Student Sign-in, and also a Custom text for failed login
attempts by students.
Supplemental Attendance Programs

fixed. Also increased the height of the Teacher box to fit up to 4 staff
members.
Supplemental Attendance Class Roster report
The
wording on the 1 Day Roster's "Signature on Time-In & Time-Out"
option has been adjusted to include the clarification that this is as opposed
to only printing one signature. Also modified the report design to display
"Time-In & Signature" and "Time-Out & Signature"
to clarify the purpose of multiple signatures.
Supplemental Attendance
Report
This report had the potential to under-report the YTD
data when there are records for zero minutes (ATD.TM = 0) or not selecting to
Sort on Participation Reason, fixed.

Terms
The Terms page will now automatically update Gradebook
dates (GBK, GBR, and GBU) when related Term dates are updated. Both Gradebook
and Course Attendance (CAR) updates are now being done as a "Long
Running Process" performed by the Aeries Reporting Engine, allowing the
Term date change to save immediately and avoid time-out errors. The Terms
page also now includes 1st/2nd Half of Term dates when the Master Scheduled
includes sections defined as "FIRST" or "SECOND" in the Split
Term field (MST.DY).
Navigation and Widgets
Up and
Down arrows are now consistent and represent the action you will take. When
you click an arrow facing up, it will collapse the section, when you click an
arrow facing down, it will expand the section. Arrows and icons now have a
hover state when you place your mouse over them, letting you know they are
clickable.

Home feature. Also, the Tour has been updated to mention Reverse Search and
