Bug – Set Default Framework was causing a problem under certain conditions – Fixed
Release date: 10th November 2013
Thanks again for all your excellent feedback!
IN THIS VERSION…
– Grids! We’ve tried to make them as versatile as possible. Create a Grid Template in the Settings (specify Students, frameworks, layout options, paper size etc) and then use the templates to Make Grids anytime for an instant real-time view of all the evidence in the app saved as a PDF. As with the profiling documents you can choose to send to email, printer, Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive and other apps etc… Excellent for planning or to track progress. Can even be used to make and track progress for IEPs or individual plans for students.
– Now when you link framework items for a single student the framework picker indicates the parts of the framework that student already has evidence for.
– Word wrapping on the framework items
– We have added a Helpful Hints section
– We’ve also updated the preload Frameworks
– We’ve made a quicker way of adding frameworks including the Australian and New Zealand Curriculum
ALSO…
– A few tweaks and performance improvements
As usual keep the ideas coming.
Release date: 26th September 2013
Thanks again for all your excellent feedback, please keep it coming!
IN THIS VERSION…
– We’ve speeded up the save process – It’s now super-FAST!
– We’ve changed Reports to Documents. They work in exactly the same way, they are the same thing, we’ve litereally relabelled them so ‘Make a Report’ is now ‘Make a Document’, ‘All Reports’ is now ‘All Documents’, ‘Report Settings’ is now ‘Document Settings’ and ‘Report Credits’ are just called ‘Credits’. We think this is a more fitting descriptionwe hope you like it.
– For Pay-As-You-Go users your Credits balance is now displayed in the menu to make it easier to keep track.
– The white borders and shadow effect for images are now available to Pay-As-You-Go users 😀
– We’ve tidied the school subscription optionsin the menu to say ‘Sign In’ and ‘Sign Out’ and we’ve reworded the credentials on the sign in page itself.
– We’ve fixed an issue with the footer logo in documents which was being slightly stretched
– In Setup Frameworks we’ve tried to make it clearer how to learn more about importing ANY framework and also now link directly to the Framework Library.
– We’ve reworded some of the messages that pop up to try to make them more user friendly.
– We’ve added a message that better explains draft and published evidence on first use.
– New splash screens
– We’ve updated the user guide
ALSO…
– A few tweaks and performance improvements
