August 15 to August 19, 2022 Release Notes

Features & Improvements

There's actually a pretty big feature that we released a few weeks ago but we're still doing computer nerd stuff with it so I can't tell you about it yet. Other than this huge secret feature, nothing new happened with Populi this week.

Bugfixes

Course roster exports weren't respecting the filters—so you'd try exporting Withdrawn students and you'd get an export bristling with Enrolled and Auditing students.

Videos & Focus Sessions

Focus Sessions! We got some Focus Sessions right here!

First, we got an introduction to Financial Aid. It'll cover some basics about setting up financial aid settings, aid applications, awards, packaging aid, disbursements and so on. This will be most useful to Financial Aid and Financial Admin users. It's scheduled for August 23rd, 2022, 11:00 AM Pacific time.

Next up, another round of introduction to Populi that'll cover setting up your Populi account, logging in, adding new users, Populi's global settings and so on. This will be most useful to Populi Account Administrator and Academic Admin users. It's scheduled for August 25th, 2022, 11:00 AM Pacific time.

Josh Stevenson describes your antidote to Chaos, the the Activity Feed, a complete history of your school's interaction with a person.

In honor of our YouTube channel reaching 1,000 subscribers, Josh and Gabe weren't even rewarded with so much as a simple funfetti cake.
