Mobile App Widget Update

The mobile app widget on all PD admin dashboards now provides updated resource links to the latest documentation and instructional videos. You can access current installation guides, participant resources, and instructor workflow videos directly from the widget.

These updates replace outdated guides and videos, giving you a more reliable and seamless support experience within the app.


Professional Learning

Improved Course Catalog Section Sorting

The course catalog now organizes sections by start date and time, followed by section number, giving you a more intuitive and consistent browsing experience.

This update restores the legacy sorting behavior, making it easier for you to find specific classes based on their scheduled times and section numbers.


Professional Learning

Streamlined Credit Bank Management from User Accounts

Administrators can now conveniently manage a user’s credit bank directly from the User Accounts page. By selecting the "Manage Credit Bank" option within the person action menu, authorized users can view credit details in a new tab.

This update streamlines administrative workflows while maintaining strict security protocols, ensuring that access is restricted to those with appropriate Credential Administration permissions.


Professional Learning

Clearer Credit Bank Resets with New Confirmation Alerts

A confirmation message now appears when you reset a credit bank. Before you continue, the message explains that credits earned later the same day after the reset is initiated are not included in the total or rolled over.

This clarification provides greater transparency into credit banking behavior, helping you manage credit data with confidence and avoid confusion about same-day transactions.


Professional Learning

Past Overlapping Classes Now Excluded

The updated registration configuration help text clarifies how scheduling conflicts are managed. When you enable the setting to restrict registration for conflicting class times, the help text explains that the system does not consider past class times when determining scheduling overlaps.

This clarification helps you understand that registration restrictions apply only to current and future sessions, giving you greater transparency into registration behavior and scheduling logic.


Professional Learning

Location Display Restored to Waitlists

The waitlist management interface now displays the location for each waitlisted individual in the waitlist grid under PdAdmin. This restores a key data point from the legacy experience, giving you the context you need to manage sections more efficiently.

With location information available directly in the grid, you can quickly identify where waitlisted individuals are assigned, reducing confusion and improving visibility into waitlist data.


Professional Learning

Streamlined Compliance Course Filtering

You can now use a new advanced filter on the Manage Courses page to quickly find compliance and non-compliance courses. Select Compliance, Non-Compliance, or All Courses to display the courses you need.

This update simplifies course management by making it easier to find and manage courses that support your organization's compliance and regulatory training requirements.


Professional Learning

Secure & Seamless Report Wizard Access Control

You can now control access to the Report Wizard with a new configuration setting and group-type permissions. Configure access based on your organization's security requirements while ensuring authorized users can continue creating reports.

This update strengthens security by addressing previous access vulnerabilities while maintaining uninterrupted access to report generation for users with the appropriate permissions in both PdAdmin and legacy configurations.


Professional Learning

Empowered PdAdmin Super Users: Seamless Transcript Configuration Access

PdAdmin Office Super Users now have automatic access to Transcript Configuration within the PdAdmin settings. This update ensures these users can fully manage all functions within the GUI, streamlining administrative workflows.

By implementing a refined security checker, the system now correctly validates permissions based on user roles and group types, provided the transcript feature is enabled. This change eliminates manual access hurdles, allowing for more efficient oversight of transcript configurations.


Professional Learning

Streamlined Sign-In Sheets with New Numbered Rosters

To enhance usability and readability, we have updated the professional development sign-in sheets to include a numbered roster column.

This improvement allows for easier user counting and better organization, especially during large sessions, by providing a clear, sequential reference for all attendees.


Professional Learning

Streamlined Course Approvals for Office SuperUsers

To streamline the course approval process, Office SuperUsers can now approve every step of the workflow without needing manual assignment to individual offices.

Seamless Calendar Sync: Location Updates Now Live!

We have resolved an issue where location updates in Professional Learning sections were failing to sync with Google Calendar. While previous fixes addressed time synchronization, location changes—including updates and removals—remained inconsistent. This enhancement ensures that any modifications made to section locations now reflect accurately and promptly in external Google Calendar events. By refining the synchronization logic and fallback protocols, we have restored full data integrity between your professional development schedules and your primary calendar tool.


Professional Learning

Streamlined Guest Sign-up: Demographic Requirements Removed

To ensure a seamless onboarding experience for the Poudre School District, we have updated the guest account registration process to include mandatory demographic selection. Previously, users could create guest accounts without providing this essential information, leading to incomplete data profiles. By re-enabling login verifiers and integrating the demographic field directly into the sign-up interface, we have ensured that all new guest accounts capture required data accurately from the start. This enhancement streamlines administrative tracking and maintains data integrity across the platform.


Professional Learning

Enhanced Filter Accessibility & Logical Keyboard Navigation

We have enhanced the accessibility of the Evaluation Program filters by correcting the keyboard navigation sequence. Users relying on screen readers or keyboard controls will now experience a logical focus order that follows the visual layout—moving seamlessly from left to right and top to bottom. This update ensures that toggling filters, selecting columns, and updating tables is intuitive and efficient for all users.


Professional Learning

Enhanced Data Privacy: Observation Dashboard Access Controls Updated

We’ve resolved a data privacy issue for the Long Beach Unified School District where a specific user could view unauthorized observation data. By refining access controls on the observation dashboard, we ensured that users are strictly limited to viewing only their own records. This update reinforces our commitment to data security and ensures that sensitive information remains visible only to the appropriate individuals.


Professional Learning

Smoother Scheduling: Fixed Sticky Date Pickers in Section Management

We’ve resolved an intermittent UI issue where the date picker prompt would remain fixed on the screen while scrolling through section details or class times. This fix ensures that the calendar interface now correctly disappears once a date is selected or the user navigates away, providing a smoother and more reliable editing experience for all users managing professional learning courses.


Professional Learning

Perfectly Proportioned: Dashboard Widget Image Sizing Fixed

We’ve resolved an issue where images in dashboard widgets were ignoring their defined width and height settings. Previously, these images would display at an excessively large size regardless of the configuration, hindering layout control for administrators. With this fix, images now correctly adhere to your specified dimensions, ensuring your dashboard remains organized and visually consistent.


Professional Learning

Clearer Billing: Currency Symbols Restored to Invoices

We have resolved an issue where currency symbols were missing from invoice details and during active course payments. Users will now see the correct dollar signs displayed across all billing views, ensuring full clarity and accuracy throughout the payment process.


Professional Learning

Reliable PD Playlist Notifications & Optimized Mass Emails

We’ve resolved an issue where automated PdPlaylist notifications for Frederick County Public Schools were failing to deliver. By ensuring the `person_id` is now correctly included in the mail recipient records, we’ve eliminated the "Unknown Person" errors in the audit logs. Additionally, we’ve optimized mass communications by enabling BCC support for up to 250 recipients during bulk completions or welcome events, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery of all automated playlist emails.


Professional Learning

Clearer Credential Tracking: No More "Null" Names!

We’ve resolved an issue within the Certification & Licensure module where some staff names were incorrectly appearing as “null” on the Expiring Credentials screen. All user names now display accurately in search results, ensuring clear visibility and tracking for upcoming credential expirations.
