New Features

Staff Directory Controls for RediSite

Customers using RediSite, our responsive school website solution, can control the Staff Directory feed for their public website. On the Permissions Summary under Directory we've added specifications so the PlusPortal Admin can control which staff is included in the feed, specify the Department field used for grouping staff, and indicate if a Staff photo should be displayed on RediSite.

The setting for the display of non-teaching staff members (ST301-600) in PlusPortals also impacts the display in RediSite. Under RediSite Directory Feed Staff can be filtered further based on the value of a Staff demographic field.  View Staff will display the Staff members meeting the criteria. Department Field can be used to group Staff in the RediSite directory.  Staff Photos can be included or not.

Improvements

PlusPortals Calendar Feed Settings

PlusPortals calendar events sent to RediSite are now limited to a specified Start/End Date range, with a maximum span of 18 months.  Previously, all past and future calendar events were sent.

Feature Fixes

Display issue in Discipline tab

All Infraction Descriptions in an Incident are now displayed.  Previously, the Discipline tab repeated the first infraction instead of the second or subsequent infractions.  Additionally, the column header has been changed from Infraction to Description so it is consistent with the School > Discipline > History view.

Google Calendar Feed issue

Events deleted in Google Calendar will now also be automatically deleted in the Plus Portals calendar.

Quiz issue with special characters

A special character used in a quiz description prevented the transfer of the quiz grade.  This has been fixed.

DonorPerfect Integration issue with special characters

The use of a special character in a contact's address kept the contact from being sent through the DonorPerfect Integration.  Special characters are now supported.
