DEV-2276

DEV-2117

To allow LDA/Last Participation date from either Canvas or CourseKey to be imported in for Asynchronous courses but leaving the manual attendance functionality active for synchronous courses, a newly created Custom Control LDA_INSTRUCTION_METHODS has been added to include certain course instruction methods to import LDA dates and exclude non-listed instruction methods from the import. An administrator may input multiple instruction method codes in a comma separated format that they wish for the LMS integration to import LDA for. Leaving the control blank will not import LDA dates by default.

Also included in this update, there is an overnight process that will copy the LDA from the Student Attendance Data (ATSENT) to Student Enrollment Data (RGENRL.LAST_ATTEND_DATE) for the courses with the instruction methods defined in the Custom Control; which allows for the attendance being taken in either an asynchronous automatically or synchronous manner manually through the course roster to appear in the student finder and other reports.

Importing of Canvas or CourseKey Participation/attendance grades must be turned on for this to take effect.

Added Permission 1278 when set to NA to prevent a user from entering attendance for students after their enrollments' Last Date Attended. Removing NA will allow a user to enter/change attendance after and LDA is entered or automatically imported from an LMS integration.

DEV-2038

Added additional extension method to support legacy non-authenticated emailing from the system.

As warned over the last year, Microsoft has sunset the original pathing for non-authenticated emailing through Port 25. To continue to use the legacy unauthenticated method of emailing with Microsoft email accounts, your institution must whitelist the additional IP addresses listed in the in the legacy method documentation.

Again, we urge institutions to adopt authenticated SMTP emailing instead of unauthenticated emailing for security purposes; using unauthenticated emailing leaves your system vulnerable for users at your institution to imitate/spoof institutional email addresses.
