This document describe the features being released in November, 2026.
Bug Fixes
- Adjusted Offering report was not printing by adjusted offering date. This issue has been resolved.
- Kiosk mode was not displaying changes coming from other users. This issue has been resolved.
- When saving a comment on the Attendance page, there were times when unsaved attendance types would be cleared. This issue has been resolved.
- When student's are unable to create appointments because the Blocking of Self Scheduling has been activated, the phrase "Blocked Date" appears. While basically accurate, it isn't very helpful in letting students know what what was preventing the appointment.
- Adjusted offering marked with flag to prevent student from requesting wasn't always preventing the request. This issue has been addressed.
Appointment Comments Can Be Marked as Viewable by Students
We are adding back the ability for students to be able to view comments that are associated with appointments. Because an appointment can have multiple comments, the experience will be the same for students as for staff. The comment is not automatically displayed. Instead, an icon is displayed that indicates there are one or more comments viewable by the student. When the icon is clicked, all comments that have been marked as viewable by the student will be displayed.
A Staffer Can Have a Minimum Value for Adjusted Offerings
Currently, a non-admin cannot create an adjusted offering with an adjusted seat count that is lower than their max number of students.
We've added a new value to each staffer record, Minimum Number of Students. Be default, this value is the same as the max number of students.
Where this field comes in to play is when the staffer creates an adjusted offering. The adjusted seat count now has to be at least as large as the Minimum Number of Students.
Example: Under the current site, a staffer has a Max Number of Students of 20. If they aren't an admin, when they create an adjusted offering, they can't create an adjusted offering with an adjusted seat count lower than 20.
With this release, a staffer could have a max number of students set to 20, but a min number of students set to 10. This means when they create an adjusted offering, they can set the adjusted seat count to be as low as 10. Of course, they can continue to set the adjusted seat count to be as high as they wish.
This needs to be used judiciously. If every staffer is able to create adjusted offerings with very low seat counts, it's possible to create a situation where there aren't enough open seats for students to be scheduled to.
Additional Data for Screen Readers on Student Profile Page
For those users that use screen readers, the chart data on the Student Profile page was difficult to understand. We've added a table that represents the data to make it understandable to screen readers.
Date Range for Mass Scheduling
Currently, the date range for mass scheduling is a calendar 90 days. So for example, if the date range is 2026-01-01 to 2026-03-31, there are 61 school days, but 29 weekend dates.
With this release, the application allows you to select a date range of 90 school days. Essentially, an additional month+ can be added when selecting the date range..
Report Adjustments
Adjusted Offerings
The report now displays the department the staffer is assigned to
Five Day Schedule Has Allows All Staff
The Staff Five Day Schedule report now has the option to print all staff. It still defaults to the logged on staffer.
One Day Report
The one day report can be selected from the Attendance page.
Unscheduled Students Reports
The two unscheduled student reports now allow a date range to be provided.
Hide Student SIS Id On Reports
Some schools don't want the student SIS Ids to be displayed on reports. There is now a configuration value (Admin, Configuration, School Settings) titled Hide Student SIS Id on Reports. When this is true, all student SIS Ids are cleared when sending the data to reports.
My Passes Data is Now Sortable
In the My Passes tab:
Active Passes - can sort by student name or destination
Pending Passes - can sort by student name, destination or time requested
Queued Passes - can sort by name or destination
On the All Passes tab:
Passes can be sorted by student name or destination.
Display Student Total By Period on Take Attendance Page
Each period now displays how many students are in the selected period.
Configuration: Reschedule Students to Homebase When Appointment is Deleted
There is now a new School Configuration value for creating appointments when an appointment is deleted.
Go to Admin, Configuration, School Settings, Reschedule Student to Homebase When Appointment is Deleted.
There are two options.
Reschedule Student to Homebase When Appointment is Deleted. When this is selected, an appointment will be automatically created for the student, placing them back into their homebase course.
For this to work, the student will need to be assigned to a student group that has been marked as a Homebase student group. Obviously, if the student isn't assigned to a Homebase group, they will not be scheduled.
The second option is Can Overbook When Student Placed to Homebase After Appointment Deleted. If this option is not selected, the process will check to see if there are enough open seats. If there aren't enough seats, the student will not be scheduled.
If the checkbox is selected, there will be no check to see if there are enough open seats, the appointment will simply be created.
Student Contacts Are Now Imported from Classlink
With the release, any records shared with use from Classlink that have a role of Guardian, Parent or Relative will be imported into Enriching Students as Contacts for the student.
Those individuals will have access to the Student Portal site, allowing them to view information about their students.
New Student Pass Quota Values
In the current version of Enriching Students, you can set a daily quota for the number of passes a student can receive.
This update allows you to set to additional quota values, Weekly & Monthly.
Both are based on a calendar. That is, the weekly quota is based on Mon-Fri and the monthly is based from the first day of the month to the last day.
If none of the values are set, then the student will have unlimited in that category. Let's look at a few examples.
- A student belongs to a quota of 3 Passes/Day and unlimited passes per week and month.
- This would allow a student have at most 3 passes per day, but there would be no consideration to how many passes they've had in the current week or month.
- A student belongs to a quota of 3 Passes/Day, 7 Passes/Week and 20 Passes/Month.
- On the first day of the month, (a Monday) the student is given 3 passes. They are granted 3 passes on Tuesday and 1 more on Wednesday.
- The student would not be allowed to have any more passes until the following Monday.
- That pattern continues until the 3rd week of the month, so that 14 passes have been granted. The student is given three passes on Monday and 3 passes on Tuesday.
At that point, the student would not be allowed to have passes for the remainder of the month. Their count would be restarted at the beginning of the next month
- On the first day of the month, (a Monday) the student is given 3 passes. They are granted 3 passes on Tuesday and 1 more on Wednesday.
