Attendance ManagementA new feature, Mass Add Attendance, has been added to a separate tab on this page. The Filters tab has been re-named to Verification. The Student Search has been moved to the Verification tab. On the Mass Add tab, users will be able to add attendance to students, or modify Unverified absences, in a process that is similar to Mass Input Attendance Codes in the Client version. Period or All Day fields can be modified. The current bell schedule is provided. Students can be selected by section, by student group, using Keep/Skip, by student name or ID number, by copying and pasting lists of IDs, or using a barcode scanner to scan their student ID. After the Mass Add, Readmit slips can be printed. Also, the first half and second half Term fields (TRM.H1, TRM.H2) are now considered for attendance in FIRST/SECOND schedules.

Scheduling OptimizerThis page would sometimes overload classes and leave the Scheduling Master Schedule with an incorrect number of students in many sections. Also, when a user is on this page the user's session will be kept alive and not time out. Also, this process has been adjusted to run faster. Also, visual styles on this page have been updated to match the rest of Aeries.
Schedule All StudentsWhen a user is on this page the user's session will now be kept alive and not time out.
Google IntegrationWith some districts, Google API limits were being reached. To decrease the chances for this, the data cache time has been increased to lower the number of API hits for larger districts. Also, Google Classroom performance has been increased when adding students to gradebooks. Also, when Google's API is congested and returns a response of 503 Service Unavailable, calls will be re-attempted.
Asset Items ReportAdjustments have been made and new report options have been added to this report to cover the functionality previously provided in the Aeries Client by the Print Textbooks Checked Out by Textbook Title report. The options added are : Asset type selection, Replacement Cost, ISBN Number, Only Checked out Items.
