  1. Same Name report to include inactive records

    We are reviewing our database and finding a ton of records newly imported this year with a new Perm Id that already had an existing Perm id. If the same name report compared active and inactive we could easily catch more of these without such extensive research.

  2. Attendance Page in FLEX Should Revert to the Original View

    Allow the Attendance page in a flex school to display with minimal options and a more condensed view. The header has too much information. Condense all rows to display more of the student's attendance for more days in the month. The user wants to have similar views as the non-flex school does.

  15. Transcripts allow the More fields to display

    When adding a single transcript record, the more fields and the Dual Enrollment Credit School (College Level Courses) field does not display. You have to first save the record, then edit, click More, and enter the Dual Enrollment Credit School (or other more fields). Two step process could be a one step process = saves time!

  18. Option to remove the "add student" option to Student Portal Accounts

    Currently, students can "Add New Student" to their Student Portal Accounts. There is no reason for this option when we're mass creating accounts and it doesn't make sense why they would ever allow students to add students to their own portal accounts.

  19. Modify Internship page to hide prior year records, not inactive records.

    Because internships are now part of the WBLR extract that happens at the end of the year, many times they are being recorded after the internship has ended. Once the record is saved, it disappears from view, and the user thinks the record didn't save properly, so duplicate records are added.
