September 8 to September 12, 2025 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

If your form has a fee, you can add a Payment Receipt URL variable to the notifications.

Fees and whatnot that have been retired are now grouped together at the bottom of the Charges drop-down in the Charges/Credits report.

The Payments/Refunds report has a new filter for Payment Method... Is... Populi Check.

For those who have longed to use the API to set a Lead Source ID when creating or updating an application, you can now use the API to set a Lead Source ID when creating or updating an application.

Bugfixes

For one terrifying moment, a rounding error was allowing books to be checked out to students for durations that differed from the actual loan policy. A bugfix ensured that it was only one such moment.

If a student used PayPal when paying for a transcript request, Populi was straight up just not sending the transcript request notification to those who wanted to receive it.

When a test question was shared between two courses, and you clicked Replace With A Copy in order to edit it for the current course, the display would still insist that it was a shared question from a different course.

Videos and Focus Sessions

Take a break from the usual September stuff and plop yourself down in front of one of next week's Focus Sessions:

• Introduction to Academics: Spend an hour learning about academic years, terms, programs, degrees, the course catalog, course instances, enrollment and so on. This will be most useful to Registrar and Academic Admin users. It's scheduled for September 16th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
• Introduction to Admissions: Lend us your ears (and eyes) for this crash course in application settings, designing your application, processing applications, managing leads and so on. This will be most useful to Admissions and Admissions Admin users. It's scheduled for September 18th, 2025, 11:00 AM Pacific time.
