Extension summary
This extension tweaks and/or adds some functionality in the Follett Apsen Gradebook and Attendance reports.
🆕 v0.2.0 allows you to record transgressions
relating to the new provincial cell phone usage restrictions --> see attached screenshot below.
As well, it a) allows you to copy some or all of the email addresses from the Gradebook --> Roster report as well as the Students-->Student List report, and new in version 0.0.7, from the Attendance reports as well b) better enables/disables the absent/present button in the Attendance reports, adds a count of the number present/absent students at the top of the report, and, last but not least, auto-selects the TimeIn field in the Lates dialog so all you have to do is enter the time. c) Adds a clickable slider to the Lates dialog that makes it easier to record the entry time for students who are late.
NB - this extension is currently setup to only work with the Aspen SIS for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB). Contact me directly if you are interested in it for your board
