Search Results

  • Enhanced Household search results to display a single row for a Participant who is both Expected and Registered when the Room explicitly defined on the Event Participant record matches the Room defined on the Room Reservation record.
  • Enhanced various API actions by optimizing performance to help minimize intermittent deadlocks.
  • Fixed an issue where expired QR code for Pre-Check check-in results in no search results. Participants will now see Household Search results and eligible Participants will be allowed to check-in to current session.
  • Fixed Pre-Check check-in to be compatible with only the 02 Registered status (previously, Pre-Check was also compatible with 03 Attended which could cause labels to print unintentionally in addition to intentional reprints).
  • Fixed an issue where unattended Events set to allow/show expected Participants only returned no results if the expected Participant was associated with the searched Household via Other Households.
  • Fixed an issue where the search button text was not visible for devices with a 1024x768 screen resolution and a Theme with font size "Extra Large".
  • Fixed an issue where scanning an expired Pre-Check returned no search results rather than displaying the Household identified by that Pre-Check.
  • Fixed an issue where multi-day Events which had a Start Date prior to the current Date, but which were available in CIS due to the Late Check-In Period value, did not return results using Pre-Check.
  • Fixed an issue where CIS did not honor the expected default value of 30 minutes for Late Check-In Period.
  • Fixed an issue where adding a Family Member via Edit Family did not return to the Household in search results unless Search by ID was enabled.

Settings

Add/Edit Family

  • Enhanced Add Event under Add/Edit Family Member to display the Event's Title and Start Time.
  • Enhanced a Participant's Age to be listed in months if under 2 years in the Edit Family dialog.
  • Enhanced Edit Family dialog to suggest the best matched Group under Add Group when a Contact's birth date is known. "Best match" is determined by a Group's "Age in Months to Promote" value.
  • Enhanced adding Attributes under Edit Family by requiring a '+' to be selected before (rather than after) an Attribute was configured.
  • Enhanced the Campus drop-down to exclude end-dated Congregations.
  • Fixed an issue where updating an Address via Edit Family cleared the Country Code.
  • Fixed an issue where closing Edit Family did not return to the specified Household in search results.
  • Fixed an issue under Add Family where all fields, including optional fields, initially appeared required (as indicated by red text).
  • Fixed an issue where Classroom Manager was unusable on some iPad and iOS versions.

Print Service

  • Enhanced the Print Service installation package to detect the currently installed .Net version and display a warning if the required .Net framework is not present.
  • Enhanced Print Servers so that they are listed in alphabetical order.
  • Fixed an issue where a printing message would appear when no labels were in fact going to print (for example, the Participant's Role Type had no associated labels in the Label Set).
Classroom Manager
  • Enhanced Classroom Manager to keep an Event available for 30 min after the Event's End Time.
  • Enhanced Classroom Manager so that First Names appear bold when sorting by the First Name column.
  • Enhanced Mark Present dialog with scrolling capabilities to display all relevant Groups for all selected Participants.
  • Enhanced Mark Present dialog to pre-populate the Room value when a Group is only associated with a single Room via Room Reservations.
  • Enhanced the filter value displayed whenever Groups and/or Rooms are selected to appear under each View regardless of which View is currently selected.
  • Fixed an issue where Classroom Manager would intermittently refresh and uncheck any currently selected Participants.
  • Fixed an issue where Classroom Manager would display previous/next pages at the same scroll point as the starting page. Thus, choosing next from the bottom of one page would present the bottom of the next page. Scroll now always starts at the top when navigating through pages.
Admin Console

Label Sets

  • Enhanced the Map to Group dialog to include each Group's Congregation.
  • Enhanced Security Codes to exclude newly identified letter combinations that could be interpreted as inappropriate.
  • Enhanced Label Sets to display all Event related tokens on the Label ordered by Event Start Time.
  • Enhanced Label Sets by allowing a Label to be quickly unmapped from all Groups using the new "unlink" action in the By Groups tab.
  • Fixed an issue where switching between labels of different types (for example, Group Leader or Group Servant) updated the Label Name without updating the type.

Group Room Overview

Kiosk Themes

  • Fixed a typo in the Themes dialog which warned of unsaved changes.

Station/Device Overview

Printer Mapping

  • Enhanced Printer Mappings by making the headers Room, Print Server, and Printer Name sortable.
General

Configuration/Security

  • Enhanced Security Role options for Admin Console by introducing new role "Check In System Configurator" which grants access to all Admin Console tabs. The existing role "Check in Administrators" now excludes Themes and Label Sets.
  • Fixed an issue where Configuration Settings with improper casing resulted in an error. Casing in now ignored in the fields Application Code and Key Name.
Important! If you have the Check In Administrators Security Role and need access to the Themes and Labels section of Admin Console, please add the new Check In System Configurator Security Role to your and other appropriate Users.
No Print Service or AutoURL updates are needed as a result of this update.
