Before you upgrade

  • We recommend you to test new versions in a sandbox first (according to your own test cases), before rolling it into production.
     
  • It is important to review the upgrade plans and the metadata to be applied before performing any action, as we do not support rollback.
 

 

 

Bug Fixes

Bug Fixes - Admission

ISS-001564 Housing Billing Error with Fee Description is Empty

Previously, if the Fee's ‘Description’ field is blank, an error message will be displayed when generating Housing Fee Lines.

Now, if the Fee ‘Description’ field is blank, and Housing Fee Lines are generated, the Fee Description field will be left blank instead.

 
 

ISS-001588 Housing Allocation Wizard: Missing Facility Capacity Error to be more human readable

Previously, when using the Housing Allocation wizard with a Facility that has no Capacity defined, the error message “Attempt to de-reference a null object” is displayed. However, the error message is not descriptive enough.

Now, when filtering the Room Allocation Wizard with a room with no capacity, a more descriptive error message will be displayed - “Please set a capacity for the {room name} facility.”

This is to help the user to better understand the error.

 
 

ISS-001605 Room Allocation Wizard lookup filters

Previously, the Room Allocation Wizard filter does not exactly search based on the Facility Type. For example, if searching for Buildings, the wizard will search all Facilities instead of just those where Facility Type = Building. This is also applicable to Apartment/Floor.

We have now changed the Campus, Building, and Apartment/Floor lookup fields in the Room Allocation Wizard to be ComboBox fields.

The options available in the ComboBox will depend on both the configured Building Types and Apartment/Floor types on the component, as well as any selected values for the other ComboBox fields.

 
 

 

 

Enhancements

Enhancements - Admission

ISS-001604 Housing fee line to respect the start/end date defined in housing extra

Two new checks have been added to the generation of Housing Extra Fee Lines when the Generate Housing Fees field on a Student Fee is checked.

 

Check 1:

If any Housing Extra’s ‘Fee’ has the value ‘Year’ for the Fee Unit field, and,

already has a Fee Line created for any Student Fee in the current year

  • (defined as any Student Fee with the same Program Enrollment as the Housing Extra, and with the value of the PE Pathway’s Term’s Parent Term’s Type field equal to ‘School Year’),

then, no new Fee Line is created for this Housing Extra.

This is to support the annual payment by academic year use case.

 

Check 2:

In use cases other than the annual payment by academic year, an additional check has been added that skips the Fee Line creation for Housing Extras, if their date range does not overlap with the PE Pathway’s Term’s date range.

 
 

ISS-001635 Update Housing Extension code to use custom labels instead of hardcoded text

Previously, a lot of codes in the RIO Ed Housing Extension uses hardcoded text.

Now, the Housing Extension codes are using custom labels instead, to enable translations if necessary.
