Agenda

  • Start of New Year Challenges
    • RoundTable discussion.
  • Customization Showcase
    • "Show and Tell" time where different schools will present an innovative customization they have implemented, including:
      • Multi-Select - Select a custom group of students by copying and pasting (or typing) student numbers, state student number, "Lastname, Firstname" or "Firstname ***Lastname" from any source like Excel or Word file. More efficient that "Select by Hand"
      • AutoSend/AutoComm Execution Change From List - Adds a column on both the AutoSend and AutoComm home pages, to show Execution Status. It will show Enabled or Disabled, as marked on that specific job. Checkboxes allow you to make changes right from the home screen.
      • Online Report Cards - Additional Enhancements by Mary Star of the Sea to their online report cards.
      • And more....!
  • PowerQueries and Scheduled Templates from Data Export Manager
    • Valley Christian will present on their work with the new PowerQuery feature and how a PowerQuery can be used in the Direct Export Manager to schedule exports that take "AutoSend" to the next level with complex queries. Examples of integration with the JAMF MDM, Apple School Manager, and HMH ThinkCentral will be demonstrated.
  • State Reporting RoundTable
    • "Hot Topic" state reporting issues discussed, including:
      • SELA records issue. Latest update moved location of ELA status fields, making it difficult to update/import/extract. Discussion on the status of the fix and impact.
  • Object Reports Tips and Tricks by Erik Negroe of San Marino USD
    • Get the most out of Object Reports with these tools and strategies, including:
      • Visual PST
      • Grid Backgrounds
      • Conversion References
