January 30 to February 3, 2023 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

It is possible for a user making an online payment with a bad Internet connection to successfully finish the payment, have the "capture" operation (the step in the online payment where they actually get dinged for the money) succeed, but then the final step of recording the charge and showing a receipt never happens. This is rare, but it does happen; we get notified when it does and take steps on our end to fix things. But the real solution is to cancel and refund the payment automatically... which is now what happens.

Bugfixes

Last week we used a Sugimoto photo from his Seascapes series to depict the week's bugfixes. This week we're referring to last's week's bugfixes section to explain this week's bugfixes.

Videos & Focus Sessions

Next week's Focus Sessions...

• Introduction to Financial Aid digs into financial aid settings, awards, packaging aid, disbursements, aid applications and so on. This will be most useful to Financial Aid and Financial Admin users. It's scheduled for February 7th, 2023, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
• Introduction to Populi introduces you to a little thing we like to call Populi. It gets into setting up your Populi account, logging in, adding new users, login approvals, roles, search, basic reporting, Populi's global settings and so on. This will be most useful to Populi Account Administrator and Academic Admin users. It's scheduled for February 9th, 2023, 11:00 AM Pacific time.

Introducing The Populi Show. In it, Josh is joined by his friend Brendan to talk about recent releases and updates, and, most importantly, office snacks. It's easily the most popular video we've released this week, and everyone who's anyone will think nothing of giving up 15 minutes of their time to enjoy our lastest foray into edutainment.
