The following Release Notes are available:
Scanning Version 2.4.2 (10/19/2022)
This version of the Scanning toolset is compatible with Campus.2215.
Fixes
- When a student scans out using the check in/out kiosk and it is linked to a parent absence request, the scan out now considers the scanner settings for the check in/out kiosk grid. (CDP-2206)
- Selecting the Save & Preview option when creating a new badge was creating a new badge each time it was selected, rather than saving the first time and updating the existing badge the other times. This has been corrected. (CDP-2198)
- Since the preference for alternate identifiers was added, custom scanners required a scanning configuration. This requirement has been removed. (CDP-2194)
- Prior period present minutes were removed and set to zero when an attendance mark for a student was added with minutes present and then the student checked in/out using check in/out. This has been corrected. (CDP-2190)
- Saving scanner preferences sometimes returned an error. This has been corrected. (CDP-2166)
Improvements
- Absence Request Processing Workflow now clears out the attendance codes for a student when there was a full day absence request and the student comes to school and checks in using the Check In/Out Kiosk. The Contact Information button has been moved, and a new overlay has been added when an absence request is processed. (CDP-2205)
- The default number of absence requests that display has been increased to 20. And, the date filter has been removed to show all requests, sorted by the newest request first. (CDP-2174)
