We’ve changed our engineering schedule a little bit. Our development Sprints will now be 2 weeks long, instead of 3. This should make for a smoother rollout of new features.

Here’s a list of the latest improvements in QuickSchools:

• Mobile App Framework (Coming Soon)
  • Gradebook Data Retrieval via API
  • Attendance Retrieval Board via API
• Admissions Improvements (See Below)
  • Applications by Status
  • Override Built-In Fields
• Bug Fixes
  • Bug related to Subjects Associated with Homerooms
  • Online Forms bug for Group Schools using Submissions Retrieval
  • Transcripts Importer support for apostrophes
  • Bug Migrating to Next Year with Master Scheduler
  • Updated Message for Suspended School Accounts

This is particularly helpful if you want the fields to appear in another language, like Spanish. So from the configuration form you can edit the fields as follows:

Once field names are overridden, they will appear on your embedded form as such:
