New Date of Birth field in Admissions

By default, the Inquiry module within the Admissions feature only displays an “Age” field. However, this field gets stale for inquiries that persist longer than a year. And so we’ve introduced a new Date of Birth field which will auto-calculate the age for you.

To turn it on, go to “Settings” > “Turn Features On / Off” and configure the Admissions module:

Once enabled, you’ll see the new “Student Birth Date” field, and the “Student Age” field will be greyed out (and auto-calculated):

Reports linked to Emails

The Report Creator supports emails, which can even be scheduled. This works by using columns from the report as fields in your email (like a Mail Merge). However, if you attempt to remove columns from your report that are actually being used in your email template, the system will now prompt you with the following warning:

Please be aware that shared reports may be configured to send out emails. And so removing columns may have an adverse effect on these out-going emails. Hopefully, this new warning will help schools address this problem.
