Print Log Report Button

About
During the Putting it All Together class at PSUG-NorthEast 2017 an idea was worked on to allow users to click a button next to the log entry they wanted to print a report for. As you may know the log reports search page does not include a way to search for a specific log entry by student or log id. The resulting page fragment is generic enough to work for other types of records as well but the plugin includes an updated log list page with a button that will trigger the process. The idea and some of the code came from Monett R-1

Dynamic Dropdown Plugin

About
For years I've been using my own small customization to add drop down control to pages. I used it for cities, states, salutations, etc. After my list grew too large I customized it again to more manageable and a single page. This plugin attempts to do a very similar task to Dean's customization from 2008 (yeah, 2008, I checked). It adds a single link on the district menu to a page that helps manage your drop downs. What's more, you can enter in drop downs that already exist and they'll show up as well.

What's New

The initial screen for the customization
Initially only Drop Down Types is available
List of drop downs being managed
All managed drop downs appear in the master drop down list

Custom Reports Bundle Scheduling

About
This plugin will add the scheduling reports to the custom reports bundle base. Note: the base plugin will need to be installed before you will see these reports automatically appear.

What's New in Version 4.1.6
Student course request had 2 issues. The demographic section wouldn't print due to a PowerSchool default stylesheet. That has been overridden so it now prints. The sort order was not working properly. It now sorts as requested.

Refreshing Report Queue

About:
Plugin that allows your report queue to refresh nearly constantly, no need to use the refresh every 30 seconds option built into PowerSchool. This is an update of a customization built by Brent Johnson. All credit goes to him. All I did was update it to page fragments and make it compatible with BrightArrow's report emailing function.

International Schools

While this may not apply to most of you I wanted to put a message out to any districts from outside the United States and Canada. US and CA schools have a lot in common and in general get to handle things in a "standard" way. By standard I'm referring to the fact that the majority of PowerSchool districts are from either the USA or Canada. But what about those schools outside those borders? There is an international user who I would trust for your non-North American needs and that is Romy Backus.

One Stop Attendance

About:
Attendance screen that allows for the search and edit of attendance records all from one screen. Users can search for attendance by code, all codes, daily, meeting, all present codes, all absent codes, etc.

What's New in Version 5.1.1
In this version we updated the page to use the slide out box rather than a new popup window when doing a new record or an edit record. We also fixed the issue causing comments not to store properly for meeting attendance. Special thanks to Romy Backus for her suggestions

Enhanced Legacy Fields

About
Moving from legacy fields to database extensions is complicated. There are fields we aren't allowed to move, fields that were already moved, and fields that will be created by core migration 1 and 2. Looking at a list of legacy custom fields doesn't really tell you which ones are available for migration. PDS Enhanced Legacy Fields is a customization that aims to help.
