  4. Release 8.2-8.3 (5-14-2021)

In our efforts to help schools get launched more easily next year, we have made improvements to our Launch Wizard and are rolling over students at the end of this year. Along the way, we have added some additional features to streamline some of the set-up and end of year processes.

Must-See Information:

A new Staff Permissions tab will be available that allows permissions to be set for everyone at the same time.  The new Staff Permissions tab can be accessed through the Staff page on the main menu or from the Settings page. To change permissions, simply select the appropriate permissions for each staff member and then select the “Save” button. 

Staff Permissions

Photos can now be added in the edit window for students, staff, and store items. Student and Staff images can now be rotated or cropped from the edit window.

Store Images, Student, and Staff Images can be uploaded from the edit pop-up.

The labels to identify staff members for the Daily Point Goal have changed to “Classroom Staff” and “Support Staff” in order to avoid confusion.  The staff page now displays all of the staff permissions in list form.

Even More Updates:

After launch next year, you will find a test student in the system. This test student has been created so that staff can practice various functions as well as show students how to use the system from the student web portal.

All the other stuff:

-student emails have been added to the Launch Wizard (LW) and the student edit window for future integration with Google SSO 

-now pulling student emails for syncing schools 

-the “Show Synced Students” button on the LW can no longer selected multiple times, which caused crash issues
