Potential Action Items

• Employee Positions - if you have been using the start date/end date/note fields on position for an employee you will want to review these as the previous values were tied to the position not the employee
• Group Permission Review - It would be useful for the System Administrator to review permissions for each group to ensure all proper permissions are given.  Related - See "Default Permissions for New Sections/Sub Sections/Controls" update below under General.
  • New Sub Sections within the main section of Reports have been added. 
  • New Analysis sub section (replacing what previously was named reports) was added in most major sections. 
  • New FinalGrade permission was added under Academics >Students.  

Updates

• General
  • Additional Features
    • Default Permissions for New Sections/Sub Sections/Controls - previously if a new permission area was added, it was required for the System Administrator to edit/save the User Groups to enable new permissions.  This now runs when logging in to the staff portal.  New Sections and Sub Sections are disabled by default and the System Administrator will still need to go in and update any groups that they want to give that permission to.  For controls within a sub-section, if the user has update permission for that sub-section, the system will add access to the new control by default.
