HIGHLIGHTED UPDATES included in Release Pack Campus.2615.10:

Sent Message Log 2.0 Enhancements
Sent Message Log 2.0 has been reformatted to accommodate different message criteria and support the future consolidation of sent messages from various Messenger tools into a single location.
Flags Marked as "Statemanaged" in Database Erroring When Assigned To Student
State Edition customers reported that assigning students flags marked as "Statemanaged=YES" in the database returned the error "the credit group for this state program must be properly mapped prior to assigning to sstudents."This error was occurring at both the State and District level. This has been resolved.
North Carolina – Enrollment End Statuses
Two new Enrollment End Statuses have been added for selection on a student's Enrollment record.
- EYC: EOY Completer
- EYCN: EOY Completer - New School
Replaced End Statuses have been inactivated with an end year of 2024-25.
Activate and Update Migrant Programs in North Carolina
There are new tools that are available for Migrant programs. Previous tools have been made Read Only. Processes surrounding the Migrant program have not changed.
State ID Error Message
The error message received when using the Assign NC Student ID button has been updated from “There was an unexpected error” to "There has been an unexpected delay registering with NCDPI network. Try again later."
North Carolina – Read to Achieve Updates
The fields available on the Read to Achieve tool have been reorganized to meet state requirements, and some fields have been updated with new or modified options.
North Carolina – PMR ADA Logic
The Average Daily Attendance calculation for the PMR has been updated for the following:
- Student day minutes are used in the calculation. Previously, the calculation used the student's scheduled minutes.
- Day events with a standard code of 'AD' are now included in the calculation.
