Features
Core
User privilege changes in Reminder.
This enhancement brings more facilities to the reminder module and security features to prevent messages being sent between users who do not have direct interaction at the institution level.
The Reminder module now allows sending messages to parents directly. In previous versions messages could not be sent to parent accounts. The admin user has this feature. Employees who are not teachers can send messages to any employee or student. These employees however do not have access to send messages to parents. Employees who have been assigned to teach a subject have the option of sending messages to other employees, students and to parents of employees they teach.
Parents can send messages to teachers who teach their children and to their children also whereas students can send messages to the teachers who teach them, their parents and students in their batch.

Edit/Delete for past timetable.
A commonly asked requirement of many users was the ability to edit or delete timetables whose end date had passed and what was effectively called a past timetable. Such timetables had dependencies of attendances and hence were not allowed deletion in previous releases. This feature enhancement asks for the users permission before proceeding to edit/delete timetables. On accepting the warning message the associated data with that timetable like attendances, timetable swaps etc get deleted.
Revert Batch Transfer.
Batch transfer is done to transfer students from one batch to another. However often it may occur that one or more students need to be reverted back to the batch. This feature allows student to revert back to the batch he/she was before the transfer. Reverting to previous batch requires that there are no dependent data in the current batch. A check regarding this is performed for each student in the revert batch transfer page. Eligible students are shown with a clickable checkbox to allow for revert. Other students are listed with a Not Applicable message, clicking on which will show the list of dependencies that is preventing the revert.
Students will not be eligible to revert batch transfer if he/she comes under any one of the following conditions:
- If they are assigned to the elective subject of the new batch.
- Fee category is created for the new batch and any type of fee particular category is created for the student. Fee collection date is also created.
- If a student is assigned to a hostel and hostel fee collection is created for the new batch.
- If a student is assigned to a vehicle and transport fee collection is created for the new batch.
- If an Assignment is created for a subject in the new batch and student is assigned to it.
- If an exam group is created for the new batch where the student belongs and exam scores are published for that exam.
- If the attendance of the student for the new batch is marked.
- If an online exam is created for the new batch and if the student appeared for that exam. If the student has participated in the poll conducted by the new batch.
