This release will be available on your training site on December 2. It will be available on production December 6.
Thanks for checking in to see what's new in this release of GradesFirst. As part of this release, we've added additional student appointment permissions, student service filters in the advising center, and we've updated the conversations inbox and profile pictures. Read on for more details.
Administrators now have additional permissions for setting student appointment limits. These limits will allow you to limit, or prevent, students from scheduling appointments based on unique rules that you set in the system. You will also notice that the student appointment permissions have been moved to their own permission section under User Roles and the User Settings page.
The following permissions have been added to the Student Appointment Permissions:
Advisors can now be sorted by services that are available at their location in the Advising Center. Simply click the "student services" menu to see a list of the services available for your location. Click on a service to sort the advisors based on who is available for the selected service based on the date and time range that you are looking at in the Advising Center.
A user's profile page will have a placeholder better suited to hold profile pictures. If users do not have an image and student profile permissions are enabled, there will be a placeholder "Photo Unavailable". In this case, when viewing Cases for that user, or in Conversations, you would see a tiny placeholder for the image even though there is not an image. As shown below, if the user has an image, there will be a small image and a larger image in Cases and in Conversations.
In addition to profile pictures displaying in conversations, the Conversations Inbox has also been given a nice update to its overall appearance.
