PSSR-365558

Ed-Fi: Update to Transcripts

The State Reporting Code has been updated to handle the /diplomaAwardDate (YYYY-MM-DD) field more effectively.

Previous Behavior:

  • The year value was appended with 06-01 regardless of whether it contained non-numeric characters, which could lead to incorrect date formats and dependencies in Ed-Fi when publishing Transcripts.

Updated Behavior:

  • Only if the year is a 4-digit numeric value, it is appended with 06-01 to ensure the correct date format.

  • If the year contains non-numeric characters, it is not appended and converted to a date format. This will display an error when publishing to ODS, allowing the customer to correct the data.

PSSR-367940

SC Ed-Fi: Academic Assistance Indicator on the Student Demographics Resource

The Academic Assistance Indicator on the Demographics resource has been updated to ensure it publishes values for a student regardless of the school they are enrolled in. Previously, for students with multiple enrollments, the indicator was only publishing a value from the first school. Now, the indicator is student-specific rather than school-specific. This means that the system will publish the value present on the Academic Assistance in the Current Status section of a student’s Add-on Weightings page.

PSSR-366639

SC28 Add On Weightings Report Update for Dual Credit

The SC28 Add On Weightings Report has been updated to display a 0 instead of a blank for Dual Credit columns. Previously, it showed null when the credit value was 0.
