Release 21.5.0.0 - May 2021

Product Updates

Product AreaTypeSummaryRelease Note

Application

Improvement

Updated first-time login instructions for users with assigned password

When an administrator configures an initial password for a user, the "User must change password at next login" checkbox must be selected and the password shared with the user to force a password change upon first login. However, when new users with an assigned password selected the "Logging in for the first time” link on the login screen and entered their email address, they received a message saying they already had district credentials and to contact their system administrator for assistance. The message was updated to instruct the user to use the “Forgot your password?” option from the previous screen so they can follow the reset password link instead of contacting their system administrator.

Checklists

Issue

Fixed duplicated tasks in reminder notification

When sending reminders for incomplete tasks, tasks that were assigned to a group showed up multiple times in the email body. This has been corrected.

Folders

Improvement

Redesigned folder sleeves

Folder details (sleeves) from the Configuration menu were restyled to the new Records UI.

Folders

Improvement

Redesigned Folders page

The Folders page from the Configuration menu was restyled to the new Records UI.

Forms

Issue

Completing a W-4 updated the employee’s name

Previously, when completing a W-4 form, the name entered would update the staff demographic name in the system. Now, this field is read-only; the first and last name prepopulate from the Records demographic information. If you are a PowerSchool eFinancePlus user, the behavior may alter slightly. Consult your product documentation for details.

Printing

Issue

Reduced spacing on PDFs

When printing eForms as PDF, extra spacing resulted in additional pages. This has been corrected.

Security

Issue

Fixed alignment issue

Fixed an issue where security groups did not align properly on the Security configuration page. Also added lines between rows to better delineate the information.

Staff

Improvement

Improved Staff list

The Staff page from the Configuration menu was updated as follows:

  • Added staff Location to the grid.
  • All text fields can be searched on.
  • The Export button was redesigned.
  • Buttons to add, deactivate, or reactivate staff were repositioned on the page.
