MST Flex Period query field - list short title instead of ID
When doing a query using the MST table, the flex period field, MST.FSQ gives the Flex Period ID. It should give the Flex Period Short Title, the ID is generated by Aeries and can't be changed.
1 voteThis can be accomplished by including the FTF table, specifically the short title field (FTF.STI) in the query. For example, LIST MST FTF FTF.STI

Data Confirmation : Option to Emulate a Parent before going live
Option to Emulate a Parent in Parent Data Confirmation before it goes "Live". Currently, we have to change the dates and then emulate a parent hoping that no one else tries to confirm.
1 voteThis can currently be accomplished by setting up a special PWA account to do so. There’s a little tidbit at the bottom of the document here. Look for the PWA.ADM field. Our support team can assist you further if needed:

Contact Notification Preference: Change the hard code to say something other than Do Not Contact
Our Secretaries get confused when they see "Do Not Contact" and think that they are clicking on the wrong thing so they automatically click Emergency Announcements or General and Emergency Announcements for every contact. This creates a lot of frustration to those contacts that do not want the ParentSquare notifications.
1 voteThe ability to rename some fixed codes is available within the code table. Contact Notification Preferences is an example of this. Instructions to do this are available in the following article: https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000074714-code-table-management-inactivating-codes

District Attendance Letters - create log of letters sent by email
Parents email addresses change and we need to be able to verify to what email address a letter was sent and when. It would be great if there was a log that showed the email address that the attendance letter was sent to and the DTS of when the letter was generated.
1 voteFor District Attendance Letters, parent email addresses are logged to the CBD table, along with other information about delivery, and can be queried from within Aeries.

Alternate Course Request - Sorting Option
Alternate Course Request priority sequence display in the final sequence order. Students may remove a course and add another, which defaults to last, therefore instead of the courses displaying as 1-5 the order is 2-6. Please see the example below.
1 voteThe sort priority can be queried by using the Priority Sort (ACR.SRT) field, instead of the Sequence field. The sequence field is an internal ID number, not necessarily the correct sort order.

Add a Staff Employment History Record option
I think it would also be great if Aeries could include a "Staff Employment History" in the Staff form. It could be optional.
We have staff members that have retired and returned to sub and it would be nice to be able to reactivate their record with an additional start date; leaving their permanent employee status part of the staff record to still include their hire date and permanent employee leave date in their full time position.
We also have staff that have been classified and employed for several years in that classification, and have a hire date for Classified.…
1 voteStaff employment history can be tracked in Aeries by utilizing the Staff Job Assignments (STJ) feature, and is already equipped to handle starting and ending dates and other historical information. This is accessible from the Staff page.

Teachers submitting without marking anyone absent
I thought there was a report that you could run that showed when teachers only hit the submit button and never mark any students absent. I know there are a few at my school who do this. The problem they create, especially during DL, is that they leave one class as the student being present, which generates ADA for the student when there shouldn't be. With DL, we can't assume the student didn't log in for just one period like we can when they are here in person. There are way too many for me to email teachers to double…
1 voteThe Period Absence Audit will catch these types of errors. That’ll show kids who were present in one class and absent in all the rest, and it offers to sort by teacher.

Attendance by week
It would be very helpful to be able to see the attendance for the week on one page and be able to edit the attendance for any day of the week on one page rather than having to drop down and change the day when attendance is finalized at the end of the week.

Course sequences to have a gap in the semester to accommodate for CTE Pathways
The Academic Plan course sequences won't allow for a gap in the sequence for things like CTE pathways. We have a 1 semester intro class that must be completed before moving on to the 2 semester concentrator. Since the concentrator needs to be taken the next school year, there needs to be a gap in the sequence to put the entire pathway into an academic plan. Our students cannot use the Multi-year function because of this.
1 voteGaps in course sequences can be accommodated by utilizing the “Default Year” field on the Course Sequences page.

CALPADS Extracts - Extract Nonbinary Gender as Code X to Match CALPADS Codes
When pulling gender data for CALPADS, have all students with a gender of Nonbinary (N) pull as X in CALPADS Extracts. The CALPADS code for Nonbinary is X, so I have to manually update each extract before I can upload it to CALPADS, which is time consuming and a pain.
Thank you.
1 voteThis can already be accomplished by using the CALPADS Code Translations.
