Product Updates

Product Area	Type	Summary	Release Note
General	Improvement	New parameter to enable/disable hover on new Admin layout menu options	For districts using the new Admin layout, a new parameter has been added to Parameters - General for “Enable Hover for menu option”. The hover on the menu options on the side navigation bar can be disabled or enabled via this option.
Absence Approval	Improvement	Improvements to User based Absence approval feature	Additional improvements have been added to the new User-based Absence approval feature. Approving Admin can be added to employee profile through new ‘Absence approval’ tab on the employee profile, similar to the ‘Absence approval’ tab on Admin profile to add employees for which they would be approving Admins. These two new tabs of ‘Absence approval’ on Admin and Employee profile would be based on Menu access permissions. Operators will have this permission checked by default. Two new import formats have been added (A3 and P6 imports) which would help to easily import the employees or Admin to set up User based absence approvals. These imports would be explained in the import layout guide.
Job Shopping	Issue	Text message sent not shown in communication log	An issue was fixed where text message job offer was showing as Sent in the filling details of the job, but it was now shown in the text message communication log.
Export/Import	Issue	Substitute location imports failing	Issue was resolved where the substitute location import was sometimes failing.
Absence Approval	Issue	Absence approval location admin showing other jobs	Issue was fixed where reason was configured to location admin absence approval and some Administrators could view additional jobs not belonging to their locations. This was happening in few cases only and has been fixed.
Create/Edit Job	Issue	Pre-arranged option on new employee web and mobile app	Issue has been fixed on the mobile app and employee new web, where employees were shown the pre-arranged option while creating absence, even when the specified step was not in the search rule assigned to the classification of the absence.

Communications	Issue	Job duration reverting to full-day	Resolved an issue during job creation where the job duration was selected to Morning half, Afternoon half, or Custom, but it would revert to Full-day when name lookup was used to specify the substitute on the job. This has been fixed and the selected duration will stay as is.
Create/Edit Job	Issue	Canceling substitute on a vacancy	Issue has been fixed where a vacancy job in a few cases was canceled if a substitute was canceled for the job. This has been resolved.
