Student Parent Relationship List

A new 'Student Parent Relationship List' program is available in TASS.web Student Admin > Student Records >  Listings/Reports/Merges.  This student data listing extracts parent information based on the Relationship Tags and Communication Rules that have been set as the Search Criteria.

Refer to the 'Student Parent Relationship List' article on Knowledge Base for more information.

Expansion of BPAY Reference Numbers to 9 Characters

BPAY Reference Numbers can now be expanded to 9 characters in TASS.web Finance > Parent Accounts > Account Information > Parent Account Inquiry on the ‘Account Details’ tab.  Previously, BPAY Reference Numbers were limited to 5 characters.

A feature flag controls this enhancement.  It will be automatically enabled for new schools. Current BPAY users can activate this feature by contacting the TASS Professional Services team.

If current BPAY users choose to have TASS activate this feature, they must engage with the TASS Professional Services team to update all parent accounts to the new 9-digit values.
