Enhancements
- Added the ability for districts to set school wide limits for hall pass types. (CDP-3063)
- Added a new column to the Hall Pass table for Created by PersonID, which will track the personID of who created the pass. If it was created by a staff member, their personID will be listed. If it was created by a scanner, 0 will be listed. (CDP-3482)
- Added a new Hall Pass History Report that specifically reports on Hall Pass information. Revamped the Scan History Report to add more search functionality, information, and remove any Hall Pass information. Deprecated the Student Scan History Report as you can now find all the same info for individual students in the Scan History Report. (CDP-3895)
- Changed Hall Passes to be School Scoped instead of Calendar Scoped. This allows districts who have a school that has multiple calendars to have one set of hall passes to use, rather than needing to setup multiple sets for the same school. This also allows them to see all hall passes for that school without needing to jump between contexts and allows restriction groups to work across calendars within the same school.
- Districts that only have 1 calendar per school each year will see no change in their functionality.
- Districts that have a school with multiple calendars will see all hall passes from those calendars in one singular Hall Pass Settings tool for that particular school, with passes from each calendar being labeled with the Calendar Name it came from. Districts will need to determine which passes they want to keep using and rename them to whatever they like, while deactivating the passes they no longer wish to use. (CDP-3928)
- Added a literal above the upload button in Absence Requests to warn parents about uploading Personally Identifiable Information. (CDP-4255)
- Added an error message to the Mass Assign Alternate ID tool that warns the user when they try to import a file with a person ID that doesn't have a student ID associated with it in Infinite Campus. (CDP-4258)
- Added warning/landing screen for the Check In/Out Manned Scanner to let users know when the tool will work (i.e. it only works during the school's period schedule). Also added a validation on Absence Requests that prevents a request from being processed when the request has an arrival time or departure time outside of the school's period schedule. This is simply providing visibility into the attendance posting logic that is already in place, but wasn't communicated to users. (CDP-4345)
Fixes
- Fix an issue with the following scanners to end hall passes correctly: Check In/Out Manned Scanner, Check In/Out Kiosk, Classroom Attendance Kiosk (in attendance only mode), and the Hall Monitor Scanner. (CDP-4150)
- Fixed an issue where students with Alternate IDs longer than 15 characters would receive an erroneous "Your studentNumber needs to be between 0 and 15 characters" error when trying to scan. (CDP-4278)
- Fixed an issue where the Check In/Out Manned Scanner wasn't adding the Check In/Out Time to the comment for KY. (CDP-4299)
- Fixed an issue where changing the time on an Absence Request prior to processing wasn't changing the Action time for KY. (CDP-4300)
- Added an option to show/hide virtual learning students. This option also controls whether attendance is recorded for those virtual students (if the student is not shown, no attendance is recorded for them). (CDP-4302)
- Added the ability for KY districts to use the Check Out mode of the Check In/Out Kiosk. This is only available if the "Require Signature on Student Check Out" setting in Scanner Settings is unchecked. (CDP-4320)
- Fixed an issue where Chrome was autosaving Teacher Hall Pass Codes in the Student Hall Pass Tool. (CDP-4340)
- Fixed an issue where the Scan History Report was giving a "Bad Input" error upon loading. (CDP-4380)
- Fixed an issue where inactive hall pass types were available for selection in Student Hall Pass Lookup. (CDP-4395)

Advanced Attendance and Appointments Version 2.5.38 (5/22/2025)
Fixes
