2026.11.0

Release Date: June 11, 2026

Release 2026.11.0 introduces the ability to cancel queued messages, a new Last Level-Defining Assessment Date field for student records and views, and a DRC TABE Online batch cutover. This release also delivers accessibility improvements, and search and grid reliability fixes.

🚀 Release Feature: Cancel Queued Messages (LA-18170)

Users can now cancel scheduled messages directly from the All Messages area — without needing to contact support.

How it works:

• Navigate to Messages → All Messages

• Search or filter to locate the message(s) you want to cancel

• Select the messages, then choose Cancel Queued Messages from the toolbar

• Only messages in Queued status are affected; messages that have already been sent or are in progress are skipped automatically

• Cancelled messages remain visible on the All Messages grid with a status of Cancelled / Not Attempted — they are not deleted and will not be sent

✨ Improvements to Existing Features

Last Level-Defining Assessment Date Field (LA-20314) A new Last Level-Defining Assessment Date field is now available in View Manager and on student records. Unlike the existing Last Assess Date field — which reflects any assessment including HSE exams, appraisals, and non-EFL instruments — this field shows the date of the most recent assessment that produced a valid Educational Functioning Level. Use it to quickly identify students whose level assignment may need refreshing.

All Assessments & All PoPs Summary — Class Field Search Restored (LA-22581) Searches in the All Assessments and All PoPs Summary areas that included a Class field (e.g., Class ID or Title) were returning an "Error Loading Data" message. These searches now complete successfully.

Search: "In the List" ID Criteria Display Correctly (LA-22648) Search criteria using the "In the list" operator for Student or Person ID fields were displaying as "NaN" when the Search Criteria window was reopened after saving. The saved ID values now display correctly.

Search: Sorting by ID Columns No Longer Returns an Error (LA-22647) Sorting by Student or Person ID columns in All-area grids was throwing a SQL error. Sorting by these columns now works as expected.

Audit Log Detail — Faster Load Times (LA-22509) Drilling into a record in the Audit Log area previously took 10–30 seconds to render the detail panel. The underlying query has been refactored and the detail panel now loads in under one second.

♿ Accessibility Improvements

Three accessibility issues identified by the Iterators accessibility review have been resolved:

Dashboard — Single Level-1 Heading (LA-22457) The Dashboard page previously rendered multiple <h1> elements, causing screen readers to encounter an ambiguous page structure. The heading hierarchy has been corrected per WCAG 2.4.6.

Required Field Validation Errors — Descriptive Messages (LA-22456) Required-field validation errors previously displayed only "Required" without indicating what value was expected. Error messages are now descriptive and actionable, per WCAG 3.3.3.

Grid Widget — Keyboard Navigation Fixes (LA-22455) Three keyboard accessibility issues have been resolved: focus is now properly retained after grid interactions, a keyboard trap on filter controls has been eliminated, and dropdown menus now close correctly when navigating away with the keyboard. Addresses WCAG 2.1.2 and 2.4.7.

🛠️ Technical Changes

DRC TABE Online — Batch 1 Cutover (LA-22478) The first batch of clients has been migrated to the updated DRC TABE Online integration endpoint as part of a two-release rollout. Integration behavior and data output are unchanged for end users.

HiSET Import — Writing Pass/Fail Now Captured Correctly (LA-21801) The HiSET import was not correctly capturing Language Arts Writing Pass/Fail results, causing potential gains to be missed. The import now processes this field accurately.

Business Rule Template/Agency Scoping (LA-22597) Business rules can now be scoped to specific template families or individual agencies via a new junction table, enabling more targeted rule application across multi-agency configurations. No user-facing behavior is changed for existing rules.

Quartz Scheduler Startup Reliability (LA-22634) A race condition during application startup could leave the server running with zero scheduled Quartz jobs, silently dropping all scheduled processing — including partner imports, state exports, Data Warehouse loads, and messaging — until the next restart. The startup sequence has been corrected to ensure all jobs are registered reliably on boot.

Database Restore/Deploy Performance (LA-22582) Local and non-production database restore scripts now enable delayed durability and pre-size transaction log files, eliminating autogrowth stalls during release script application and improving non-production deploy times.

Search Tile Attributes Now Included in Agency Clone (LA-22629) When cloning a template agency, agency-scoped search tile attributes are now copied to the new agency along with other configuration, ensuring cloned agencies inherit the correct grid defaults without requiring manual post-clone setup.
