My Folder

Issue

Updated Behavior for Response to Meeting Request

Users selecting the link Respond to Meeting Request from a Direct Report Meeting Request email are directed to a page where they can Cancel, Accept, or Decline the meeting. Once an action is taken, now the user is directed to their My Folder > Tasks page where their accepted meetings are displayed.

My Folder

Issue

Added Scheduled Date to Incomplete Tasks

Now, scheduled dates will display on the My Folder > Tasks page for tasks that have been scheduled.

Forms

Issue

Updated Default Font for Rich Text Fields

Rich text form fields now display the standard Perform font as default.

Forms

Issue

Expanded Form Preview Lists

Form preview now lists all process forms in the Form Preview tool, no longer truncating at 8 forms. A vertical scroll bar displays when the list of forms exceeds what is visible.

Forms

Issue

Added Form Share Comments to Notification

Comments added while Form Sharing are included in the notification to the form recipient. Note that the Task Shared Notification found on Configuration > Staff Notification needs to include the tag: [[FormSharedComments]] for the comments to be included in the notification.

Forms

Issue

Corrected Long Answer Word Wrap

On completed forms, word wrap in long answer form fields behaves as expected and does not truncate words.

Forms

Issue

Corrected Display of Form Question Text

On completed forms, the text used in the question section of a form field now spans the entire form width and no longer condenses along the left side of the form field.

Forms

Issue

Corrected Display of Comments and Paragraphs in Scaffold Fields

When a comment or paragraph box is used in scaffold form fields, they no longer display as selected (rated) when the form has been completed. This resolution does not apply to forms that have already been saved and submitted. Forms already saved and submitted would need to be unlocked and resubmitted for comment or paragraph fields to not display as selected.

Forms

Issue

Fixed Display of Failed Notification Page

Now, when saving a notification (HR or Staff) where required fields fail, the resulting page alerts the user to which fields are not properly completed.

Forms

Improvement

Updated Form Button Display

Now form buttons persist on-screen at the bottom of forms. Buttons can be selected regardless of where the user is within the form, eliminating the need to scroll.

Forms

Issue

Fixed Cancel Action for Form Sharing

Now selecting Cancel when setting form sharing options cancels any changes made.

Forms

Issue

Corrected Display of Failed Staff Page

When a user attempts to save the Staff page where there are validation failures, the resulting page now displays properly and alerts the user to which fields are not properly completed.

Forms

Issue

Updated Location Display

When printing or viewing completed forms, now the location displayed is the Direct Report's location at the time of form completion, even if the Direct Report has since changed location.

Evidence

Issue

Fixed Loading of Rubric Selector for Artifacts

For some districts, the rubric selector was not loading when attempting to associate an artifact. The contributing database security mismatch has been resolved for those districts. The rubric selector appears correctly.

Rubrics

Improvement

Added Scroll Bar to Rubric Preview

Rubric preview now utilizes horizontal and vertical scroll bars so that the entire rubric can be viewed.

Professional Learning Integration

Issue

Adjusted Display of Professional Learning Icon

The Manage Professional Learning icon now only displays for those Districts integrated with Professional Learning and only on those forms where "Enable option to recommend or require professional learning?" is selected.

Analysis

Issue

Added Scroll Bar for Advanced Analysis

Results from using the Advanced function of Analysis were not accessible because there was no scroll bar. This has been fixed.

System Administration

Issue

Fixed Error When Updating Location Fields

When updating Location drop-down sets, some Locations with the status of Inactive were creating an error when updated. This has been fixed.
