Firefly 5.2.0 Changelog

Firefly 5.2.0 Changelog

Released - 23rd April 2015

  • We now have a markbook, available on web and the Teacher Planner app. Release notes can be found here.
  • For teachers, 'Manage Set Tasks' and 'Your Tasks' have been conflated into a single 'Tasks' dropdown in the black navigation bar, and 'Markbook' has been added.
  • Teachers can now mark 'online' tasks without having to wait for students to submit work through Firefly.
  • Firefly now has the ability to use salutations (Mr, Mrs, Admiral, etc) for parents & teachers. Further documentation can be found here.
  • Firefly now reads the 'preferred name' from PASS by default, ignoring the middle name.
  • We now have 'Parents Of' groups for Schoolbase.
  • The 'bulk archive' feature has been made more prominent.
  • We now use the set date for task ordering (since all tasks have a set date) and the ordering of archived tasks has been flipped to display the newest archived tasks first. The old 'due/set' pill has also been replaced with a 'newest/oldest' pill.
  • We now use the correct site ID to populate email footers. This means that schools with multiple sites will no longer see the name of the wrong site.
  • Read-only .pps files no longer throw an error when attempting to live edit.
  • Columnist now displays attendance data nicely on a small screen.
  • The Melody navigation menu now works as expected on Microsoft Surface.
  • Galleries now load faster, which will be particularly beneficial on homepages where multiple galleries exist on a single page.
  • Google Docs are now reliably scrollable on iPad.
  • Profile pictures now display reliably when the school is using Guid matching for cloud.
