Product Area	Summary	Release Note
Professional Learning	Added Component Feature to New UI Professional Learning	The Component feature that mostly our Florida and Maryland clients use is now available in the new UI of Professional Learning!

Course registrants would be able to view the Component associated with the course, if applicable. Applicants of Transfer Credits would be able to select the Component associated with the transfer credit, if applicable.
Professional Learning	Added Configuration Point to Hide Section Grade Column on Roster	A configuration point to hide Section Grade Column on Roster has been added to Configuration - Section Grade. By default, the configuration switch is off so that section grade column does not show on the roster.
Professional Learning	Added Due Date Reminder to PD Playlist Notification	A new notification option to remind learners of the end date or due date to finish the playlist has been added to the Notification Tab in a Playlist. There are two ways in which a reminder message could be sent to participants of the playlist: Send reminder messages to participants based on the Playlist end date: Playlist owners or admin users can define how many days before the end date to start sending weekly reminder messages until completion or Playlist end date. Send reminder messages to participants based on the Playlist due date: Playlist owners or admin users can define how many days after the participants are added to the playlist to start sending weekly reminder messages until completion or Playlist end date. This will send out weekly reminder messages based on a rolling due date which is decided by the dynamic dates of when participants get added to the playlist.
Professional Learning	Added Functionality to Export Section Waitlist History in Section Roster	Functionality has been added to allow authorized users to export the Waitlist History for a section. This can be achieved by clicking the Section Enrollment History button in the Professional Learning Section Roster, navigating to the Waitlist History tab, and selecting the export option. The waitlist history can be exported to pdf or csv format.
Professional Learning	Added New Option to Ad-hoc Section Report	A new option of reporting on the number on Waitlist has been added to the Ad-hoc Section Report in Professional Learning.
Professional Learning	Office Specific Credit Types is Now Available	Office Specific Credit Types is now Available in Professional Learning. To turn on this feature: Navigate to Configuration - Credit Types and turn on the feature “Assign Credit Types to Offices” To set up office credit types: System Administrator: Navigate to Office - Office Details Set Credit Types - Description: Manage the credit types that can be offered by this office. Instructors: Navigate to Build - Courses If Credit Areas is enabled in Course Forms, then the credit areas options should be limited to the credit areas offered by the office this course requester belongs to. If no credits are available because the user forgot to associate active credits with the office, the following message should appear in the edit GUI: "No credits are available to assign. Please check your configuration."
Professional Learning	Updated Add Participants Job in PD Playlist	If 50 or fewer participants are to be added to the participant list in PD Playlist, the list will be updated in a short period of time. If more than 50 people are to be added to the participant list, then it will go through the normal process which could take up to 24 hours to see the update.
Professional Learning	Updated Credit Areas Configuration Page	The Credit Areas configuration screen has been optimized so that it is more user-friendly.
Professional Learning	Updated User Role Permission of "Can Edit Roster"	The user role permission of “Can Edit Roster” has been updated so that the right to send out emails and notifications from the roster is now tied to “Can View Roster”. Users who have not been granted this permission can still send out emails from the roster management screen as long as they have permission to “View Roster”.
Professional Learning	Updated Pop-up Message Around "Add Learners" Job	A configuration point has been added to the pop-up message to confirm to add learners if learners are already on another section of the same course. By default, this has been turned off. In Professional Learning, you can find this configuration point at: Config-Roster and Registration-Roster & Waitlist settings. A switch of “Warning Message if learners being added are already on another section of the same course” has been added, and by default, is off.
