v1.8.3

Inclusion of a Hijri Date Picker

If a user selects a language in the UI for a country that uses the Hijri calendar, the option to enable the Hijri calendar will also appear.

It is important to remember that the option for Hijri dates will be available in English (the default language), as many customers who use the application in English also want the ability to toggle on Hijri dates.

The Hijri Date Picker option will be shown for the following languages:

• ar: "Arabic"

• ur: "Urdu"

• fa: "Persian"

• ms: "Malay"

• id: "Indonesian"

• tr: "Turkish"

• en: "English"

Mandatory comments option for specific Absence Reasons

SafeArrival Administrators can now require comments when guardians report an absence under specific reasons, provided the Comments feature is enabled. This feature ensures more detailed information is collected, such as requiring a mandatory comment for an “OTHER” absence reason, preventing parents from leaving the comment field blank.

Mandatory comments can only be enabled by Support but are configurable by designated District staff at the District, Group, or School level and can be adjusted at any time. Comments are limited to 220 characters.

Enhanced report download capability in SafeArrival

SafeArrival now includes the ability for admin users to download generated reports in PDF or CSV formats from the Attendance section. Reports can be viewed on-screen and filtered by various date ranges and fields, providing flexibility in data review.

Date Range Filters:

• Today

• This Week

• This Month

• This Term

• Custom

Field Filters:

• Student Name

• Confirmation Code

• Student ID

• Home Room

• Grade

• Absence Type

• Has Comment

• Has Attachment

• Exception List

• Exceed Absence Count

Once results are filtered and displayed, the PDF or CSV download option is available for generating local copies of the report. PDF downloads capture the most important data due to page constraints, while CSV files include all relevant data for comprehensive analysis.

This enhancement provides greater convenience and data accessibility for SafeArrival users.

Files attached to Extra Absences when editing records

In some situations, if a staff member or user in SafeArrival edited an absence that had an attachment and then edited absences for other students, the original attachment from the first student would incorrectly become associated with the absences of the other students. This issue has now been resolved.
