The following changes have been made for enhanced usability:
The individual student dashboard is updated for better usability for Course Section Enrollments. You can now view and publish the Course Section Enrollments directly from the student dashboard if the student is/was enrolled in that section during the school year.
The Course-Section resource data viewer is updated to include the enrollment count for better usability. A new Course Section Enrollment view is added to the K12 Scheduling Published category to ensure that customers can view all the Course Section Enrollments submitted to the state operational data store (ODS).
The following change impacts this resource:
The school’s StatePrId field is now used as an override for the School Number when publishing School Identifier on resources via DEX. This update primarily affects charter schools but can also be used for public schools with alternate schools.
