Release Notes

 

Release 8.5.0

9/25/18

 

What's New in the 8.5.0 Release?

Weekly Section Grid

In the Platinum Analytics Smart Schedule Sandbox, users are now able to access a weekly grid displaying the spread of section meetings for a given term, campus, and course.

 

Smart Schedule Sandbox Enhancements

Smart Schedule Sandbox users are now able to view and edit sections imported without meeting records.
 

A section's delivery method can now be edited in the Smart Schedule Sandbox along with other section changes.
 

When a section is added or is opened for editing, the user can now select "cancel" to back out of the section and cancel the changes made.
 

For the new Banner fields added in the 8.3 release for Banner integration purposes, when users edit those specific fields, they are now able to see not only the codes for possible choices, but also the descriptions for those codes.  This enhancement will help to make sure end users understand which codes they are selecting.

 

Part-of-term Enhancements

When a term is rolled forward, part-of-term values are updated and carried forward into the new term.
 

When the Smart Schedule Sandbox is created, the part-of-term field is populated with the new part-of-term value.  Additionally, the field can be edited, where possible part-of-term options are only those applicable for the section's term.

 

Momentum Year reporting

The application now includes the ability to report on "Momentum Year" progress for a student's first year.

 

A process calculates and stores students’ progress against first-year momentum metrics that are shown to be key indicators of student success.
 

These configurable metrics include:

 

Completion of an English gateway course

Completion of a Math gateway course

Progress against other core requirements (e.g. 9 hours of other gen ed requirements)

Overall progress toward degree hours (e.g. 30 hours total)
 

All data is available in a table for reporting and visualization creation.

 

Contact your Ad Astra Account Executive for more information.

Known Limitations

Scheduling Grids: Can't see any grid filters unless one of them is marked as the "default".

The event attendee sign-up feature is not currently working for existing event records.

In the Event Request Form Designer, the Custom Display Content widget html editor does not get fully initialized when using drag and drop to place the widget, and saving changes is not allowed.

Start time and end time are not available columns on the event list page.

The Weekly Room Scheduling Grid will not print all columns at this time.

The prescriptive scheduling feature set (sectioning, timetabling, and related functionality) is not verified for this release.

This includes:

Program Version, Rule, and Template configuration, Sectioning, Timetabling, Instructor Optimization, and the Planned Course sandbox.
