Enrolling a Group - issue with new functionality

Jean Sudduth

I am using the new Enroll Group functionality and question if I am the only person that finds it very unhelpful that when you pull a large group of students to work with, for example grade 9 students, the list sorts in alpha order by the student's preferred FIRST name, not by last name. There is no ability to sort students by last name for the ability to quickly check off the needed students in bulk to group enroll. The old enroll group was sorted by last name, then first. All BB student lists should allow for sorting by last name alpha. I called Customer Service with no resolution.

Hi Jean!

I have the team looking into this. It may have been a miss as we implemented but we intended for this to sort by last name.

Thanks so much!

Thank you, it is important functionality. Every list in BB should have this functionality.

Jacqueline, can you provide me with an update when the ability to list students alpha by last name will be ready in the Enroll Group function? I will be using his functionality again in the next two months to prepare for our school's third trimester.

Hi Jean!

We are working on it currently so as long as QA goes as expected it should released on Tuesday. If it gets delayed it will go out in our next release on January 6th.

Thanks so much!
