New Features
Global Reply Addresses set up added for PlusPortal Admins
The PlusPortal Admin can add Global Reply Addresses to be used by Admins. They can also give permission for other Admins to Add Global Reply Addresses. Global Reply Addresses must be assigned to one or more Admins to Save.
Admins that have been added as a User for a Global Reply Address will see a FROM dropdown when creating a New E-mail. 
PlusPortal Admin can give other Admins access to Add Global Reply Addresses, but this is not necessary for Admins to use Global Reply Addresses assigned to them.
Discipline added to the Master menu
The functionality found in Discipline on the Class section can now be accessed from the Master menu on the Home screen for Teaching staff with or without sections.
Staff with IDs less than 301 will not have access to Discipline.
If Allow Teachers to View Incidents or Allow Teachers to Add Incidents is set to Yes, Discipline will appear as a choice for Teachers (Staff with IDs less than 301) even if they have no classes to display. Students can be selected by Grade Level if Teachers are allowed to Add Incidents to All students in school.
New DonorPerfect API
DonorPerfect customers should check with their DonorPerfect Account Representative to determine if their DonorPerfect configuration includes the API. DonorPerfect provides the API key used to activate the integration in PlusPortals. Please contact your Rediker Account Representative to purchase the DonorPerfect Integration so it can be added to Setup > Integrations:
