Students with Incomplete Class Schedules: update for Flex
In some Flex schools, where the schedule is not complex and/or parallels the traditional 0-9 periods, this report would still be useful to find students who are missing section(s) in their schedule. Could the report be updated to work with Flex, even if the user had to input which Flex Periods or time range and which students to evaluate? Or could the report produce a list of students who have a 15/20/30/60 minute gap in their schedule? Or could this information be provided in some other way?

Because our district uses a long staff id number, it only leaves a few letters of a teacher's name displaying making it very difficult to identify which teacher it is referring to without looking up a Staff Id #.
Since the display fields on some reports are limited - can the Staff Last Name be displayed FIRST, and the staff Id# at the end?
Update: The change will be to add an option to include STAFF ID number in…

Summer School Course Requests - Add support for Flex/Section Staff to section dropdown
Summer School Course Requests - Add support for Flex/Section Staff to section dropdown
Logic exists to pre-determine conflicts by excluding sections from displaying in the dropdown by checking if a section is already scheduled within the same period and term.
