PSSR-257478Weekly Engagement and Daily Participation Updated to Allow User Edits

Previously, the Weekly Engagement and Daily Participation form in PowerTeacher was read-only. If the displayed data did not meet the expectations of the certifying teacher, the only way to change it was to update the underlying data such as attendance and assignment scores.

To make it easier for teachers to make corrections before certification, section C of the form now has the ability to be editable. This ability is disabled by default but can be enabled for the entire district on the District Info page or for particular schools on the Edit School page. Changes at either level are tracked in a new table (S_CA_WEDP_Audit_S) for future auditing needs. The most recent update is displayed beneath the checkbox to enable or disable on the respective input pages.

When the feature is enabled, teachers see an "edit" button above section C of the form. Clicking this allows them to make changes to the daily participation codes for their section. Table cells that have been changed from their calculated values are highlighted in yellow. For future auditing needs, both the teacher's updates and the originally calculated codes are stored in the database upon page submission.

PSSR-258672Weekly Engagement Page Updated to Handle Long Assignment Descriptions

On the Daily Participation and Weekly Engagement page in the teacher portal, Section B would fail to load any data if the combined length of all assignment descriptions on a single day exceeded 4000 characters. An "ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long" error would be logged.

The page is updated to better handle long assignment descriptions. When the total length on a day exceeds 4000 characters, the page renders as many descriptions as it can fit within that limit. The first assignment following the last included description will display an ellipsis (...) and subsequent descriptions are omitted.
