We've summarised some of the big-ticket items in Version 57.7 below. Full Release Notes are listed below the 'majors'. 

Major Item

Details

TrackOne Integration

Staff, students and parents can now seamlessly navigate from the TASS portal products into the TrackOne Studio Learning Analytics Suite, supporting the use of data insights for more effective decision-making and goal-setting. 

Check out the TrackOne Integration Checklist for more details. 

Payroll API

The new Payroll API allows schools to efficiently and securely extract payroll data from TASS for external analysis, using a range of endpoints including employee details and transaction history.

For full details on the endpoints, check out our GitHub page

This API is included in the TASS Premium license and available on the Basic licence for a cost per annum. For full details on costs, refer to API Licencing.

Report Updates

A new Extra Curricular Activity Payments report has been added to Staff Kiosk, which generates a list of payments for student extra-curricular activities.

This report, and the Attendance Rollcall Status report, have both been made available for report scheduling, so you can automate the delivery of these important insights to your inbox.

Check out the Maintaining Schedules video to learn how scheduling works. 

Learning Support

Continuing from the last release's updates to the Learning Support module, v57.7 introduces bulk tools for copying Class Plans across different years and semesters. Schools can now also generate email notifications for relevant teachers, to notify them of new Class Plans.

OAuth2 API Authentication

OAuth2 authentication options have been added to the API maintenance tabs, allowing third-party products to connect to TASS APIs as a unique entity.

For full details on the endpoints, check out our GitHub page. 

Digistorm, our Mobile App API Certified Partner, has been through the required testing and certification on this new API.

API Updates

Enhancements have been made to the General Ledger API, to make date parameters optional when exporting data from TASS.

The Medical Conditions endpoint in the Student Details API has also been expanded to include general notes and medication requirements for students.
