2026.9.0

Release Date: May 19, 2026
This release expands clipboard productivity tools across the full LACES interface, streamlines DRC assessment import visibility for local programs, and delivers assessment compliance updates ahead of the June 30 expiration deadline. Bug fixes address accuracy issues in credential assignment, grid searches, and import logging. State-specific updates span report corrections, SSO connectivity, and NRS table accuracy across CO, DC, DE, KS, MA, MS, TN, and VT.

Feature Highlight: Copy ID Expanded to All Areas

The "Copy IDs to Clipboard" button, previously available only in the main LACES list views, is now available across all "All…" views under the Additional menu. Local staff, state admins, and tech support can copy Student IDs, Class IDs, Agency IDs, and Person IDs directly from these views to speed up cross-area lookups, data analysis, and support workflows.

What's included:

• Student-area views (All Assessments, All Diplomas/Credentials, All Non-Reportable Credentials, All Goals, All Hours, All IETP Measurable Skills Gains, All Languages, All Messages, All PoP Contact History, All PoPs Summary, All Postsecondary Education or Training, All Student Enrollments, All Waitlist Contacts, Data Validation): copy Student IDs.

• All Class Instruction: copy Class ID.

• All Agencies: copy Agency ID.

• Non-student areas (Volunteer, Family, All Non-Student Hours, All Non-Student Workshop Enrollments, All Person, All Staff Credentials): copy Person ID.
