Recapping The Updates Of A Feature Rich Summer
Published
We hope you've had a long summer of sun and fun! While you were away, we were busy not only adding new features to the Education management products, but creating new guides and resources to help the start of a new school year.
Even though most schools are out for the summer months, we didn’t let that stop us from continuing to add and improve the Education management products. Considering the beautiful weather, we totally understand it if you opted to turn off the computers and ignore as many emails as possible to truly enjoy the summer.
Just in case you were away from keyboard for the past couple months, today we’re going to do a big recap of all the new content we released both for the products themselves as well as new guides, tutorials, and other materials intended to make your life easier.
So, let’s not waste any more time and jump right into everything you need to know.Webinars for All!
The series covers a whole range of topics including Scheduling and how to troubleshoot common problems, Grading Assignments, Billing adjustments in Tuition Management, Best Practices for a new School Year, and an Enrollment management new feature deep dive.

We’ve updated our Gradebook and Assignment Details documentation, not only the look and feel or them, but stuffing both with even more information on how to effectively use these sections of the product.
Lastly, we’ve also put together a brand new Back to School guide, highlighting all of the big Academics changes over the summer. We’ve even given you a small glimpse at what other updates are coming later in 2021 as well as a section at the bottom to serve as a reminder for all of the things available to do in the products with links to each one. This is a two part series, so you can view part one here and part 2 right here.Files and Forms Bulk Delete

That’s going to do it for this week, but make sure to check back next time as we review the month of August. See you next time!

Webinars for All!
Our first big announcement this summer was a new Webinar series covering topics typically associated with preparing for a new school year. Better yet, these are all completely free to view and once you register, you’ll gain access to the On Demand version to watch at your own leisure.

Back To School Resources
One thing that we’re particularly proud of is our work creating all kinds of Back to School style resources. We’ve developed a number of FAQ style pages where we answer some of your most burning questions for product features like Student Requests, working with Advanced lists, as well as a number of Academics related topics.

Files and Forms Bulk Delete
One of the big initiatives for the Enrollment management team this summer was creating the new Files and Forms section under Admissions management. Not only is this a list that compiles all files or forms that are uploaded through the Admissions process, but it allows you to share them to the Core profile, or delete them in bulk. Again, there a ton of good stuff to know about with this one, so make sure to check out the blog.
Commit Grade Update
Just recently, we revealed all of the new changes coming to the Commit Grades functionality under Academics. We made a number of quality life updates in an effort to improve and streamline the overall experience for educators and faculty. For the complete rundown on all of the changes, check out the blog here.
That’s going to do it for this week, but make sure to check back next time as we review the month of August. See you next time!
