Known Issues and Limitations
Issues/Limitations
Reports – EDFacts Submission Reports
Report titles for SY 2017-18 (all reports):
Reports begin with “C” not “FS” for SEA, LEA and Schools, and all category sets. For example, C045 should display FS045.
Format Error (all reports)
Columns can’t be resized so permitted values aren’t displayed in full on some of the online reports
In some screen sizes, the drop-downs on the report page overlap, making them unusable.
C032: report isn’t filtered by Exit or Withdrawal Type
C089: Permitted Value of “Home” is displayed as “Homeless” on the online reports
Settings - Toggle
IDEA - EXITING Reference Period – error message “End date of reference period cannot be on or before the Start Date”
The system should override the error message when the radio button is set to “Yes.” Currently, users must change the date fields regardless of whether radio button selection is Yes or No. Switching the radio button to "Yes" should override the error message about the date fields below it being the same (e.g., "End date of reference period cannot be on or before the Start Date.")
Radio button functionality needs to be fixed.
Users cannot click on a button to deselect it once they’ve selected it. Selecting then deselecting the same button/option again and changing the value should be allowed.
Add a warning message in the Toggle when changes are made and the user tries to exist without clicking “Save.”
Add Membership Count Date field to Toggle
There are two words in Toggle that are misspelled
Settings - Data Store
There isn’t a kill switch to cancel the Migration process. A kill switch is needed.
Reports Library
The graph layout needs to be updated for the following reports:
Preschoolers with Disabilities in Educational Environment
School Age with Disabilities in Educational Environment
Proficiency Level of Grade
Participation in Multiple Federal Programs
Exit from Special Education Report:
Add additional information to reports:
When Economically Disadvantaged is selected from the Subpopulation dropdown, add a status of "Not Economically Disadvantaged (Not ED)" to the report.
When Homeless is selected form the Subpopulation dropdown, add a status of “Not Homeless” to the report
When Migrant is selected form the Subpopulation dropdown, add a status of “Not Migrant” to the report
Remove “enrolled” from the results and replace with “Homeless Status”
When reports are exported to Excel, the URL to the CEDS Connection should be a link.
