Data and Assessments
Fixes
Importing a Google Classroom assignment to gradebooks will no longer return an error when a gradebook roster does not have matching email addresses in Google Classroom.
Notes: 1. Previously gradebooks would return an error if there are no matching emails.An assignment record would not be created and scores would not import. 2. With the changes, the import will now create the assignment but will not import scores until matching email addresses are found between the gradebook roster and the Google Classroom roster.
There is no longer a limit of ten on the dropdown when selecting the course or when selecting an assignment.
Home Connection
Users who have had Gradebooks shared to them without the permission to Edit Settings will not have access to the Gradebook Preferences Page.
Data
Daily Attendance Equivalent field has been added in attendance import configuration. This will allow you to send your SIS's Attendance days equivalent value in a numeric value. Please note you may need to adjust your scripts, etc.
