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.
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

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.
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.
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.
WIOA Core Program Co-Enrollment — Multi-Select (LA-22411) The AR WIOA Core Program Co-Enrollment field has been converted from a single-value dropdown to a multi-select control, allowing users to record enrollment in more than one WIOA Core Program simultaneously.
Hours and Assessments Exports Added to Connectable SFTP Integration (LA-22380) AR programs using the Connectable SFTP integration can now export Hours and Assessments data files in addition to the existing student, class, and enrollment exports. Files are written to the configured SFTP destination on the standard scheduled cadence, eliminating the need to enter this data separately in Connectable.
Original Alternative Placement Field Removed from Search and View Manager (LA-22588) The original Alternative Placement field has been removed from search criteria and View Manager column options. This field was superseded by a replacement field in a prior release. Any saved searches or views that referenced the original field will need to be updated.
Class Record — New Fields for Provider Reporting (LA-22598) The RI Class record has been updated with additional fields to support DOL provider reporting requirements: Referral Contact, Number of Weeks, Scheduled Instruction (required), and Funding Stream (required). Field visibility and required status are controlled by DynamicUI configuration.
MSG Type 1C / NRS Table 5 Business Rule Updates (LA-22218) Business rules governing MSG Type 1C determination for NRS Table 5 (IETP) have been updated to reflect RI's reporting requirements. Affected students will have their MSG calculations updated on the next Data Warehouse job run following deployment.
Nightly Export Now Delivered via SFTP (LA-22555) The TN nightly state export has been updated to deliver output files directly to TN's SFTP server rather than requiring manual download. The file format, content, and schedule are unchanged.
Original Alternative Placement Field Removed from Search and View Manager (LA-22588) The original Alternative Placement field has been removed from search criteria and View Manager column options. This field was superseded by a replacement field in a prior release. Any saved searches or views that referenced the original field will need to be updated.
Big Bend Community College — Transcript Functionality (LA-22501) Transcript generation is now available for Big Bend Community College (WA Literacy – Big Bend), allowing staff to generate student transcripts from LACES.
