SC Class Assistant App Updates
The most recent (on top of list) updates include:
- 4.24: This update maintains the same features as the last one, but adds Korean and Thai translations. Translatios are being done based on countries where there are downloads, reviews, or app store listings.
- 4.23: -Font size on full-screen class selection prompt has been increased -For iPad Only: The font size on the main menu options has been increased, and some menu options that were not word-wrapping are now wrapped if needed. Similar changes were made for the Edit Students Menu, the Student Photo Menu, and the Seating Chart Menu -Fixes for Spreading out seats display: Seats should now be better centered on the screen.
- 4.22: -Fixes for importing from CSV -Interface fixes -Previously, zooming (large) into seating charts resulted in seats in the topmost and leftmost areas being cut off from the scrolling area of the screen; this has been corrected. -Spreading out seats fixes on the seating charts. -Most prior testing was done on iPad; more testing was done on iPhone in this update, and multiple fixes were issued
- 4.21: -For internationalization purposes, the way the "full name" (first/given and last name) is displayed has been changed to use the local standards depending on where the app is being run. -Pick random student menu (on top right) now lets you pick large photos, smaller photos, or no photos.
- 4.20 : -Bug Fixes surrounding Deleting a Student (that function was recently updated in 4.18, and the update introduced a couple of errors). -The display of Names on photo seats was changed to white text on a partially transparent black background, allowing more of the students' photos to be seen behind the labels. -Homework/Attendance/Fire-Drill-Attendance seating charts now have text labels next to student names indicating their status, which is separate from the color coding. -Just for the view seating chart screen, the text size was increased for student photo seats; other seating charts are not yet affected -Pick a random student now shows a photo (if it exists) below the name and above the pick next button, instead of full screen.
- 4.19 : -Enhanced visibility of the back button on the Edit Student and Select Class screens. -After deleting or moving a student, the Edit Students Screen Student count (on top) now updates -Some navigation within the app was improved. -Option to Hide Empty Seats added -For assigning unassigned students to empty seats, which might be reworked to work differently soon, new seats are now assigned 'towards the front' rather than 'towards the left.' Also, if no seats are available, a new row will be added to the seating chart, and the students will be assigned to the leftmost seat in that row. -Swiping between the main menu page is now an option. -Some layout issues and delays on the edit students and photo management screens were corrected. -If you pinch print previews larger, you can save them to PDF (always could), but the print seating chart menu had the wrong name there, and this fixes that The Seating Chart "Delete & Recreate" (initialization) screen was redone. Also, you are put into the view seating chart display after entering rows and columns. -For assigning seats alphabetically or showing a student list in add students or edit students, the sort order was refreshed to case-insensitive sorting of (in this order): last name, first name, short name. -Other assorted bug fixes and improvements -Some main menu text displays are too small on iPad, -When there are no classes (i.e., new users), the select class button needs to be disabled (there are no classes to select), -The class picker needs to show "no classes" when there are no classes -"Delete Class" pop-up only showed US English localizations. -The select class button text is not word wrapping, which is more of an issue for other languages.-Previously, if invalid group options were entered, the error message popped up behind the keyboard and couldn't be read- this fixes that. -When printing seating charts, the seats should be larger than they were.
- 4.18: -Importing student names now handles both English and some foreign translations of the header fields when picking out name fields. When in doubt, use English headers if they don't work in your language. -Add New Class now has a "Save and Add Students" button, which takes users right from adding a class to adding students -Delete this Class and Delete Student now use a pop-up alert confirmation rather than a full-screen confirmation -Fixes to delete this class regarding falling back and selecting the following class -Delete this student, no longer ALWAYS sends you back to the main menu, it only does that if no students are left. -Back buttons on the Add Class and Add Students screens are now white text on a blue background, which is easier to read.
