PowerSchool SIS 22.9.0.0

Attendance

The Bell Schedule Setup page has been updated to reflect if an invalid period is defined. As part of this change HTML popups that are created server side will indicate “Currently saved value not found in dropdown options. (xxxxx)” if the value currently defined on the record is not present in the dropdown as this represents potentially bad data.

Data Access Tag (DAT)

Student Email, Global ID, and Race Codes (comma separated) values are now accessible using the following Data Access Tags (DAT). Learn more in episode 125 of the PowerSchool Insider.

Students

• ~(*powerquery;query=com.powerschool.core.dats.students.student_email)

• ~(*powerquery;query=com.powerschool.core.dats.students.globalid)

Customizers can now also implement their own basic PowerQuery-based Data Access Tags (DAT) as documented on the PowerSchool Developer site.
