The following Release Notes are available:


Scanning Version 1.9.5 (12/19/2019)

Attendance Calculation Update

  • An issue with attendance block calculations for students with multiple sections scheduled for a single period has been resolved. (CDP-900)

Absence Request (Campus Parent)

  • Absence request times are now limited to 6 am - 6 pm. (CDP-797)

Scanning Version 1.9.4 (12/10/2019)

Tardy Scanning

Attendance > Scanning > Tardy

  • Previously, if a student is marked absent for a period of time during the school day and scans back in a later period, the Tardy Scanner was marking the student absent for present periods before the scheduled absence, even though the UI showed a present. The Tardy Scanner has been updated to properly write what is displayed in the UI. (CDP-897)

Scanning Version 1.9.3 (11/26/2019)

Health Office Scanner

Health > Health Office Scanner

  • The Launch w/ Camera option has been added to the Health Office Scanner tool to allow users to scan in student IDs using a webcam. (CDP-501)

Tardy Scanning

Attendance > Scanning > Tardy

Several updates have been made to the functionality of the Tardy scanning tool.

  • Instead of displaying a grid of the student's past attendance history when they scan in, the Tardy scanner now displays a grid of the student's schedule for the day. This includes:
    • A blank line for previous periods if the student was considered present.
    • Any attendance records that may have been assigned to them today.
    • A label of “No attendance taken” if the class for the period does not take attendance or the student does not have class during the current period.
    • A check in the Override box for the current period or class they are supposed to be in as well as any period that already has an absence record that shares a code with a record that is in the past.
    • Any period with the Override checkbox marked will be updated. Past selected periods will be assigned a single code depending on the resolution strategy and future selected periods will have any codes removed. Only selected periods will be updated.
  • The Resolution Strategy field has been added and displays when there is a single absence record or multiple absent records with the same absent code. Users can use the existing code or override the Excuse from the dropdown. If no existing attendance records or multiple different coded records exist, the Resolution Strategy does not display and the only option is to pick an Excuse code from the dropdown. (CDP-614)

Bug Fix

  • Previously, if a student is marked as Tardy for a class and then the student scans in to the Nurse, Counselor, or a Custom Scanning location, the student would be marked Present for the class. This logic has been updated to not overwrite a Tardy. (CDP-640)
