HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES (5)
2/5/2008 If you drop a student from a class and then remove them from the class after that - you will have two refunds for that class - which can have you refunding the student too much money. The workaround is to remove one of the refunds. Ticket 470076 has been assigned.
9/5/2007 This issue is for those that were live in DASL during 2006/2007 School Year. If you want to remove a course for a certain course from a student's schedule in 2006/2007 you would need to REMOVE the course from the student's schedule. This is not working - the course is removed, but the course history is still there. The workaround is to edit each Course History Record associated with this course on the student's Course History Screen and change their grade to a blank. Once all grades are changed for this course, them remove the course from the student's schedule.
3/21/2007 When adding students to memberships using the bulk method - if the membership has a fee - all fees are assigned to first student on list. This is set as a high priority bug.
1/19/2007 If you have multiple homerooms - the honor roll report (r303) will list the students more than once.
7/2/2006 PO Box gets cut of when printing labels. This is caused by the 1st Address line being too long. Currently, the only fix for this is to shorten Address Line 1 until the second address line fully appears. This bug is labeled as high priority based upon the workaround not being foolproof - if the street name can not be shortened.

WHOOHOO! SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
"For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair."

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
 
I love Spring!

FIRST NAME SEARCH IN DASL
Did you know you could sort by first name in the FIND STUDENT AREA of DASL?  All you have to do is put a comma before the first name (i.e. ,Jeffrey).  Try it, it really works! Would like to thank Becky from Southwest Licking for the tip!

March 31, 2008 - DASL Press(DP)
DASL Scheduling Well spring vacation is over - let's bounce back to reality!   Reality is that the school year is almost over!  This means scheduling is becoming a high priority!  Scheduling Session 1 was a success and  now Scheduling Session 2 is available, you can sign up on SINC!

DASL Release April brings a new release of DASL! DASL version 8.30. This release includes new assessment reports, scheduling enhancements, graduation verification enhancements, and bug fixes.  The announcement of when the release will be installed will be reported to you by email.

DASL Discipline
The Discipline Committee has had their first meeting on January 15, 2008.  The meeting went well, and the committee has given LACA great ideas on making discipline better in DASL.   LACA has created an enhancement document, documenting all the request enhancements for the committees review.  This document has been sent to the Discipline Committee for review.  To review the document click here.


For those EMIS Lovers, we have a great document hot off the press called  EMIS Situations. This document helps assist a user in coding students in EMIS Reporting. This document can be located under EMIS dropdown of the DASL Documentation page or by clicking the green link above.
 

I love to support you!


The verdict is out.......LACA is not out of their minds!  Okay, maybe a few of us.  It's not our fault, we just love to support you and will do whatever it takes to do so!

QUESTION OF THE MONTH
QUESTION: What is the difference between DROP or REMOVE when a class is being deleted from a student's schedule?
 
ANSWER: If a student attends a class at least 1 day the class needs to be dropped (DROP) - the end date would be the last day the student attended the class. If the student has not attended the class at all, they can be removed (REMOVE)- the end date would be the first day of class. If using prorated fees this makes a difference.
