    Great suggestion! One way that transcript sent information can be visible in Family and Student Access is to use Data Mining and the Report Directory. This will even work for any information you can put together in a Data Mining report!

    Within Data Mining, after you’ve created the report, you can select which entities you’d want this to be available for Family Access Display tab. You will then need to turn on the Report Directory within the Family Access Entity Configuration (WS\FA\FM\PS\CF\EC) and enable for Student and/or Family Access.

    Once setup, your students or guardians can login and navigate to the Portfolio tab and they will be able to run these reports. The benefit to this is that when the report generates, only results for the appropriate student will display.

    If there are any questions or assistance needed on this setup, our Customer Consulting Specialists would be a great help.…

    We understand that the name field character limits could be longer, we are excited to announce that they have been extended on the Qmlativ product. We recommend that you use the Legal Name fields for those students whose names do not fit in the standard name fields. These legal names can be sent via state reporting.

    Though I understand that this may not fit everyone's needs, but if you setup LDAP/S configuration, you can use your AD/EDir password strength rules to help strengthen the passwords of your users.

    Looking into options for adding Staff State ID to Skybuild.

    Data Mining is a tool for Student information reporting, so Staff State ID will not be added to this area of the software.

    There is current a utility that works really well for cleaning up Data Mining Reports. Product Setup > Skyward Contact Access > Security > Product Setup > Utilities > Security Users Utilities > Data Mining Report Clean Up.

    Check it out, it's amazing! A hidden gem!
