Release updates 8/27/2021

Workshops in progress or completed by a staff member in the *SABES agency will now display in the local agency. This allows the local agency to track Professional Development completed by the staff in their agency.

When a staff member enrolls in a Professional Development workshop in the SABES agency and has at least one attendance record in the workshop, a record will populate in the staff record at the local agency at the Professional Development tab.

  • The "Name/Type of Professional Development" field in the record will display "~SABES~" in front of the professional development name.

  • "Date Attended" displays the date the staff person enrolled, if their enroll status in the workhop is "Enrolled." "Date Attended" will display the staff person's end date in the SABES workshop if the enroll status is any other status except "Enrolled."

  • A user at the local agency is not allowed to edit or delete a Professional Development record that originated in the SABES agency.

    • If attempting to edit the professional development record, the error message will display:

Could not save Staff Professional Development Edit: *This record is owned by another agency and is read only.


  • If attempting to delete the professional development record, the error message will display:

Cannot delete, as this record is owned by another Agency.


Credentials earned by the staff member in the SABES agency will now display in the local agency. These credentials will populate in the staff record at the Credentials panel. There is no indication in the Credential grid that the credential originated from the SABES agency. However, a user at the local agency is not allowed to edit or delete a Credential record that was entered in SABES.

    • The credential records are read only.

    • If attempting to delete, the error message will display:

    • Unable to delete record, as this record is owned by another Agency.


The field "Enroll Status" was added to the Professional Development record. The purpose of this field is to show the staff person's enroll status in the SABES workshop. It may be entered when adding a Professional Development record at the local agency, but is not required. Professional Development records entered at the local agency are not associated with SABES and may be edited and deleted by a local user.



*SABES, the Massachusetts adult education (AE) professional development (PD) system.
