1 voteIn the Student Banner, there is a Flags view that shows all of the red flags for the student. This view is available on every page.

Ed Rights as Mandatory Field
Make Ed. Rights Holder a mandatory field for new contacts record and must be populated with "Y" or "N".

Add Spell Check to 504 Page
We have a request from a staff person to add spell check to the 504 plan. Because they print this out and give to parents for review they would like the extra help. Especially when English is not their first language.
As a workaround I suggested they type in a word doc and copy and paste the info into the 504 plan.
1 voteMost browsers have a spell check feature, the word will be underlined in red and then if the user right clicks they will see suggestions for the correct spelling.

Allow Registration Date & Time to be export from Online Enrollment Pending Database
When exporting the data from the pending database it is only pulling the registration date and not the registration date & time. Is there any way you can include the time? We timestamp all our new registration packets.

- Revision Note from 8/17/2023: The Registration Date can be formatted in Excel to include the time of day when the registration was completed. The default format is MM/DD/YYYY, but the user can change the column format in Excel to use a custom format such as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.

Have a place to auto populate the name of person entering incident details in Assertive discipline
It would be easier for District office staff to locate the staff member who added a discipline record for corrections for reporting. Can we have a field that is auto-populated by the user name, or a required field for the person entering the record? The referrer field does not tell us who actually entered the record.
1 voteHi Carolyn,
These fields already exist in the ADS - Assertive Discipline table and can be seen in Aeries Query. The Database Definitions page shows the Query Fields and Names:
IDT - Insert Date
IUI - Insert User ID
IUN - Insert User Name
UUI - Update User ID
UUN - Update User Name

Add username to Attendance Submission Log for each period submission
Right now ASL records the date and time each period attendance was submitted, but it doesn't record who submitted that attendance. It would be helpful for us to know if a teacher submitted that attendance or if an attendance clerk did so. This would be 11 new fields for P0 to P9 Username and AL Username, maybe also another set of the same but for First Submit Username to go with the First Submit Time values.
1 voteIn a Non-Flex school the user name of who submitted attendance is stored in the ATL - Attendance Log table. For flex schools, it is stored in the CAL - Class Attendance Log table. This data is available by Aeries Query.

High School Course creation scheduled by year and credit awarded by semester.
Create high school courses that can be scheduled with one course ID over the year, and credit can be awarded by semester rather than by year. For example, English IV could be scheduled in both fall and Spring using code E400, then credit would be awarded based on semester avgs. in 1/2 credit increments. Two 1/2 credits would total the full 1.0 for the year. Specifically, if a student earned a 70 or higher in the 1st semester, then .5 credit would be awarded for that sem. avg. Then if the student earns a 70 or higher in the second…
1 voteAeries already allows for year-long courses that behave in the way that you described. Here is a link to support documentation that describes the role of the Default Credit and Max Credit fields https://support.aeries.com/support/solutions/articles/14000082302-courses-general-information Please contact support for any additional questions.

Student Documents - space for notes
As we transition to electronic cumulative files, it would be nice to have a space in Student Documents to indicate that files not present may still be in the pre-existing paper cumulative file.
1 voteHi Judy,

Mobile Portal App - missing assignments should have Date Completed blank
When Parents/Guardians/Students view gradebook assignments, if the assignment is missing, the date completed should be blank.
1 voteWhen a student does not have a grade for an assignment and it is past due based on the assignment due date and the teacher has marked the Assignment as "Grading Completed", then on both the Parent Portal and in the Mobile Portal App the assignment score will be "blank"/"number of points" and the Date Completed will be blank. Past Due assignments with no score are treated as a 0 in the overall gradebook score calculation.
If the teacher enters a score of 0 for the assignment with a comment of "missing". Entering the score will populate the Date Completed. Effectively the teacher is changing the missing assignment to an assignment with a 0 score.
Best practice would be for the teacher to leave the score empty, select Grading Completed when the assignment is due, and allow the system to identify the missing assignments and determine the gradebook grade using… -
MHS.CD ordered alphabetically

Automated days in Class Calendars for Flex Scheduling
When we create a Class Calendar for Flex scheduling, for example MTWF, it would be wonderful if Aeries could do the rest and we not have to click a little check box for every day of the school year that class will be in session. If we have already created the overall School Calendar and we create a Class Calendar for MTWF and assign it to a section, then Aeries would already have the info needed to determine the days that section is in session and needs attendance. It feels redundant to have to select each day's checkbox for each…
2 votesA feature already exists on the Class Calendar page that will allow mass assigning dates to a calendar. The Mass Select Dates button will allow mass selecting of days of the week for a specific date range. See Class Calendars documentation.
