TeacherPlus Sync Manager and Sync Engine Release: August 2, 2017

Our newest TeacherPlus Sync Manager and Sync Engine, versions 2.20.0 and 1.1.4.0 respectively, provide the ability to include TeacherPlus Gradebook and PlusPortals links and login credentials in an e-mail to users.  We've also updated the naming convention for archival Excel files.

Naming Convention for Archival Excel Files

We've changed the naming convention for archival Excel files to start with the course number instead of the year.

Example:

Current file name: 2013-14_0001_01SocialDevA_ST072_07172014.xlsx

New file name: 0001_01SocialDevA_ST072_2013-14_07172014.xlsx
