USAS v2024.2.0 Release Notes

Summary

This release of USAS-R contains the following improvements detailed in the release notes below.  Please keep in mind these release notes only reflect the changes included in this release.  There are many other features of the software that were previously released that will not be reflected in these release notes.  General information about all of the features available in USAS-R can be found in our USAS-R Documentation.  There is a section in the documentation that also details the significant changes between USAS-R and Classic USAS. 

Important Highlights

Improvements

• External Authentication changes:  Any external authentication user will only login via the external provider. This also means a local user will never attempt an external authentication.

• Implemented the ability to clone report bundles to allow for sharing bundles.  Any bundle a user can see is eligible to be cloned.  

  • Admin and USAS-Manager roles already contain the admin_reports permission needed to see report bundles created by other users.  If a user with a lesser role needs the ability to clone report bundles they didn't create, the admin_reports permission must be granted.  

• Created a Requisition Approval Report to show all requisitions currently in the workflow process.  The report includes the requisition number, username, action (status of the requisition), timestamp and notes.

• Corrected the report link to work with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).  Those districts using MFA will now be able to use the report link.  Users will be required to create a Personal Access Token (PAT) for their user account, which can be done under the Show User Profile option of the Utility menu.  Once the PAT has been created a new report link will need to be generated as it will use the PAT to validate the user and prevent the user from having to authenticate before refreshing the report.
