Release Notes

Enhancements:

Data Reload: A standard database reload was performed to improve indexing of database records and repair any fragmentation issues that occur over time. The intent here is to improve database performance and overall speed of the system.

Enhancements:

Student Reporting:The student report has been split into two reports on the same student reporting page so that we can improve load times for student data. These two reports are named "Student Reservations" and "All Students" that can both be referenced through the standard Students feature that is found inside the Courses section on MyTASystem.
Student Reservations Reporting: This report is used to access all student reservations that are on the site and is essentially the same report that was available through the platform in prior releases except that it no long displays student records if the student has not been registered for a class.
All Students Reporting: This report is new and displays one record for each student that is in the system irregardless of classes that have been attended. This means there is no class reservation information in this report.

Enhancements:

Select Student Communications: The class editor has been updated to support sending email and text messages to selected students in a class.
Select Waitlist Communications: The class editor has been updated and you can now send email and text messages to selected individuals that are on the waitlist for a class.
Select Instructor Communications: The class editor now includes a third communications report for instructors along with the student and waitlist reporting that can be used to send email and text communications to selected instructors and assistants in a class. Note that we've eliminated the old "Email Instructors" button that has been replaced by this feature.
Class Editor Performance Tuning: Adjustments have been made to reduce the overall size and time required to complete queries that are required to load the class editor with information pertaining to a class.

Enhancements:

Email Bounce and Complaint Reporting: All email messages that are sent through MyTASystem now include bounce and complaint reporting that can be viewed through the Email Message Log. These new tools will make it easier to troubleshoot email delivery issues when they occur.

An email that has bounced indicates that the email could not be delivered. This could be for a number of reasons, but it's typically related to an incorrect email address.

An email complaint indicates that the recipient received the email, but they have reported an email as SPAM.

Enhancements:

Card Request Report: Administrators can now delete all pending card requests or individual ones.
Mailing Lists: A new "All Students" mailing list has been added. Use this to send email campaigns to all registered students, such as newsletters or one-time notifications.
Campaign Editor: The "Process Campaign Now" button allows immediate processing of single campaigns. Combine this with the "All Students" mailing list to send instant email notifications.
Order Editor and Receipt: Order amounts such as refunds are now displayed as negative values to represent reductions in the order total. Additionally, new line items have been added to show refund/dispute totals and an Adjusted Total Amount.
Individual Email Message Display: Error messages are now shown when sending individual emails to aid in troubleshooting.
Refund Prevention: Refunds are now prevented if there are insufficient incoming funds.

Bug Fixes:

Card Request Report: Fixed a filtering issue with the eCard Code.
State/Province Pick Lists: Resolved a timing issue that caused incorrect state/province lists to appear in certain editor controls (account, cart, class, client, instructor, order, and student).
Background Campaign Processing: Fixed an issue where a single invalid email could halt the entire mailing list processing.

Enhancement: Added support for percentage-based fees in addition to the previously supported dollar-based fees. This now allows you to include a fee for your orders that is a percentage of the order total, a fixed dollar amount, or a combination of both, calculating a fee that is both a percentage of the order total and a fixed dollar amount.
Bug Fix: Resolved an issue that was preventing order confirmation emails from being generated and sent if a customer left the cart checkout screen before all order processing steps were completed.

Enhancement: Added the ability for instructors to delete individual instructor associations, certifications, and course pay rates within the instructor editor.

New Feature: Implemented digital roster support to streamline class attendance tracking, including the ability to update contact information for students who have already registered for classes.
Enhancement: Added support for tracking online course completion within event/class rosters.
Bug Fixes:
- Resolved an issue where only the first instructor's name was displayed in the upcoming classes report when multiple instructors were assigned to a class.
- Corrected a problem that unintentionally disabled full authorization access for subscribers and system administrators when adding new access control groups to the platform.
