MTSS Interventions

Sorted Enrollment & Withdrawal Reasons

We've made it easier to manage student statuses.

  • In the settings, all enrollment and withdrawal reasons are now neatly grouped by Enroll, Completed, and Withdrawal. The reasons in each group are sorted alphabetically.

  • When you add a student to an intervention, you will now only see enrollment reasons, which are also sorted alphabetically to help you find the right one faster.

MTSS Student Plans

Updated the Student Plans application to only display the student's active Student ID

Based on customer feedback, the Student Plans application has been updated to display only the student's active Student ID, instead of listing all student IDs when transferring between districts.

  1. If student is active at two schools, the student ID for the respective school will display.

  2. If student is inactive at original school and active at another school, the student ID for the active student record will display and student won’t display in original district.

  3. If the student is inactive in two schools, the student ID for the respective school will display.

MTSS Interventions

Faster loading for school filter on intervention page

Fixed a bug to improve the loading speed of the School filter on the Intervention listing page.

Manage Groups (UIHN)

Cohort member updates to allow for infinite imports and duplicate member detection improvements.

  1. The cohort member query is no longer restricted by the query maximum rows property.

    1. All cohort members will be displayed in the list when editing a cohort.

    2. Can add “infinite” amounts of members at once when editing a cohort.

  2. The cohort member table now displays the count of members above the table as “There are X members.”.

  3. The notification shown when bulk adding cohort members has been adjusted to read: “X members were resolved from X lookup values. X new members were added to the group. X members already existed in the group.”

  4. There was an issue with duplicate member detection that should now be resolved (i.e. if you added a member that already existed in the cohort, it wouldn’t detect them as being in the cohort and would re-add them).

Platform (UIHN)

Enhanced Geospatial data integration for new deployments

Previously, geospatial data was not appearing in the dashboard despite successful ETL completions. This affected multiple customers for which we implemented a solution to ensure geospatial data is now correctly displayed, enhancing the overall data visibility and user experience.

X-DW-ETL

Enhanced Metadata Synchronization for DW Element and Entities tables

Addressed an issue affecting the metadata in the Data Warehouse's Elements and Entities tables. This update ensures that the metadata now accurately reflects the latest assessment changes and improvements, eliminating inconsistencies and outdated information.

X-DW-ETL

Corrected mismatch of data types for STUDENT_GENDER and STUDENT_CURRENT_GRADE_CODE fields

Addressed datatype mismatches in the KM_STUDENT_ATTRIBS fields for the following two student fields:

  • STUDENT_GENDER is varchar(10) while it should be varchar(50).

  • STUDENT_CURRENT_GRADE_CODE is varchar(5) while it should be varchar(50).

Risk Analysis Analytics

OST Data not transferring to Student Data Wall

Addressed a critical issue affecting customers experiencing 2024-2025 OST scores being successfully imported but were not transferring to the Student Data Wall in Risk Analysis.

This enhancement ensures that educators have reliable access to student performance data for informed decision-making.

Usage & Monitoring Analytics

Corrected Usage dashboard issue when dates were between YET rollover and the start of the school year

Based on an issue with school dates and the year-end transition (YET), we corrected the code to resolve the "no data found" error message on the Usage dashboard.

Usage & Monitoring Analytics

Modified Usage dashboard school year filter to account for summer transition for reporting

Corrected the usage of the dashboard's max school year filter, which caused metrics to appear blank because the next school year had not yet started. Changed the condition from SCHOOL_YEAR = CYTD to SCHOOL_YEAR > PYTD.
