Key Bug Fixes

Various bug fixes are included in this release.  The following is a list of key fixes by application area.  

 

Please contact customer support for the status of any specific Astra Schedule case number.

Calendars

Calendar:  Corrected a problem with the calendar views that was preventing sections from being displayed if they were scheduled into effective dated rooms.

Event Create / Edit / Schedule

Event Request Forms:  Corrected an error when attempting to view an event request that includes certain custom field types not correctly displaying their values.

Event Request

Effective Dated Rooms:  Corrected an issue that was preventing effective dated rooms from being displayed during room selection within an event request form.

Import / Export

PeopleSoft Interface:  Updated the default configuration file for the PeopleSoft realtime update to eliminate an import error encountered by some schools.

 

SIS Interfaces:  Corrected an issue in the import spoke files that was causing course titles to be missing if the corresponding section title was null during import.

 

JenzabarEX interface:  Corrected an error that was occurring during section imports due to unexpectedly long section number codes.

 

Banner interface:  Corrected an import issue that was preventing previously deleted instructors from being re‑added to the system if they were included in the new import.

 

SIS Interfaces:  Corrected an issue during import that was overwriting section meeting date/instance exceptions created in Astra Schedule.

 

Cross‑Lists:  Corrected a problem with how cross‑list max enrollment values were being calculated that was causing values to be doubled under some circumstances.

 

Banner Interface:  Corrected a problem with batch import that was causing performance issue due to re‑processing of deleted sections that were previously deleted.

 

Section Imports:  Enhancements made to section meeting instance generation to help ensure more consistent and reliable creation of section meeting dates.

Installation / Upgrade

The conversion tool was updated to resolve the problem of room configuration names changing in v7 and then re‑running a conversion from v6 to v7.  The conversion tool will now choose the default room configuration if the specified configuration cannot be found.

Reporting

Reports:  Updated the "Room Card Report" to prevent duplicates when rooms have multiple configurations.

 

Reports:  Corrected a date parameter in the "Sections by Subject for Selected Date Range" report so that it will return results when a short date range is entered.

 

Section Room Assignment Status:  Corrected an issue that was causing room assignments to be incorrectly "requested" instead of "scheduled" for users in certain environments.

Known Limitations

Calendars

Browser Support:  The Calendar functions are not currently compatible with Safari.  We are investigating options for an update to the Calendar control that will support Safari in a coming release.

Import / Export

After importing events via the Excel import utility, customer data must be re‑exported to ObjAcct before users can effectively access Events and Customer related functionality.

 

A new section import option is available that prevents section meeting instances from being overwritten during import if they have been edited in Astra Schedule.  At this time, to use this setting you must add the following line to the Options section of the import spoke file:
 
< OnlyAcceptIfMeetInstanceNotModifiedInAstra value ="true" />

Security

"Guest" user account must be mapped to the "guest" role.

User Interface Components

People records cannot currently be searched via email address.
