Prevent users from removing Schedule association from Groups

What’s changed?

Users are now blocked from being able to remove schedules from item groups in the event there are license and/or opt-out records. This is a safety measure given if removed, the absence of a schedule causes opt-out errors for students with licenses.

Changes to Reports > Vendor Reports page

What’s changed?

We have removed the Vendor Reports tab from the Reports page in Connect for regular non-VST users. This was done to limit confusion as to what reports were ultimately sent to publishers given that various publishers no longer receiving these Connect generated census reports.

Enhance FWT Item Requirements Modal

What’s changed?

The item requirements modal in Collect has been (slightly) redesigned. The ISBN of the selected material will now be shown on the Item requirements window. We’ve also widened the window to accommodate for additional information that will be added once Directory is enabled. This modal redesign is not limited to schools that will be using Directory, it is a change for all users.

Reinstate Dept Level Approver user management

What’s changed?

We recently implemented changes to how Admins can manage users in the Collect UI. We have since learned that removing the ability to Add or Remove Department level approver roles disrupts existing processes for schools, so we have reinstated this level of user management.
