July 7 to July 11, 2025 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

Course roster exports now include the students' program and degree.

When you or someone who really matters to you gets an email about integration log errors, the link in the email will now take you or someone who really matters to you to a filtered integration log report only showing the errors.

Organization activity feeds now have a toggle that lets you include or exclude items pertaining to members.

Fixed and/or improved a buncha things with how QTI imports are handled. Most of it is so esoteric and nonsensical that the only reason to write about it would be to make fun of it. Which, admittedly, is why I write these release notes and why you subscribe to them. So, here's this nugget from the developers talking to each other about this issue: "Looks like a classic case of QTI format hot garbage". Opinionated devs usually make for good devs, and that's from one of the best! Anyway, one of the things that was fixed is QTI imports will now skip invalid questions rather than just choke on the whole thing.

Bugfixes

If you cross-listed a P/F course with a regular, graded course, if a student withdrew from the P/F course and then enrolled in the graded course, his final grade would show as "100" even before any grades were entered or edited. Now that don't happen no more.

There was a bug that prevented you from editing academic years, but it's now goo on the bottom of someone's shoe.

Videos and Focus Sessions

Mid-July Focus Sessions coming up:

• Introduction to Billing: It's always a great time to learn about pending charges, invoices, transactions, payments/credits, tuition schedules, fees and so on. This will be most useful to Financial Admin and Student Billing users. It's scheduled for July 15th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
• Introduction to Degree Audit: What could be better than hearing about degree requirements, course groups, course mapping, exceptions, transcripts and so on? This will be most useful to Academic Admin and Registrar users. It's scheduled for July 17th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.

Josh gets rolled over and, it seems, squished by a giant rock in this video about how you can use Populi to prepare for tuition increases.
