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
