ASCENDER 9.0410

❏ Corrected the issue where begin and end dates were not saved upon creating a new record. These dates are now correctly saved when a record is added or updated.

❏ Modified the program to require the Begin Date and End Date fields for all records. This allows contracted staff to be tracked annually for TSDS reporting.

❏ Added the Extract for TSDS checkbox to the Instructional Staff section. This option will create an entry in the staging table for each non-employee who has a termination date when selected. Additionally, this option was added to the associated Non-Employee Report.

❏ Added this tab to create and maintain TSDS/Responsibility records for non-employees. The information on this tab is only extracted for non-employees who have an assigned TX Unique Staff ID on the Non-Employee tab.

❏ Modified the staging tables to extract actuals for classes 3XXX, 5XXX, and 7XXX objects by multiplying the amounts by -1. Note that this change will result in negative amounts for these classes if their current balances are positive. This corrects TSDS Mid-Year Finance fatal errors caused by the mentioned objects reporting negative amounts.

❏ Corrected the issue that prevented fund balance totals from being included on the TSDS Prior Year Actuals report (Extract Prior Year Reprint). This corrects TSDS Mid-Year fatal error 20032-0007.

❏ Modified the Session and Section end dates to be the next instructional day after the attendance semester/cycle ends.

❏ Updated the way StudentCharacteristic and StudentCharacteristic > Period are reported so multiple Begin and End Dates for the characteristic can be reported under StudentCharacteristic > Period.
