onCourse full changelog

This is a minor update for all 8.0 users to fix a problem with merged tutor records not correctly updating the tutor’s skillsOnCourse records. If you are on a cloud hosted onCourse instance, this fix was also included in the 8.4 update.

Once as USI has been validated, the student contact details for First Name, Last Name and Date of Birth, along with the USI lock for editing. When the student advises you they have changed their details with the USI Agency, a new option allows you to unlock the record, forcing a re-validation attempt with the new details.
A middle name field has also been added to contact records, allowing you to store this data separately from first names. Middle names stored with first names were making USI validation attempts fail.
A new type of class roll has also been added, showing if the student has supplied a USI and if that USI has passed validation or not, so your tutors can assist with the data collection process.
The USI verification process also now runs during the Quick Enrol creation, so if you choose to add a student’s USI to their record while processing an enrolment or other purchase for them, the SOAP verification will run the background.
The student merge process also only allows th

USI Creation and verification process:

Prepaid fees
When you create an invoice in onCourse, the general ledger is not immediately credited with the income from training delivery. Instead, a liability is created called “prepaid fees”. onCourse then journals that liability to income as the class delivery takes place. Some onCourse users don’t use our general ledger or worry about pre-paid fees. In that, case this issue will not affect you.

Fixes:
Improve reliability of voucher redemption on the website
Under some situations MS SQL server would not successfully upgrade to 5.0
PaymentIn accepts Asset and Liability accounts now

More flexible invoicing: easily add custom invoice lines on the fly, and set the invoice due date into the future
Your choice of payment delegation: Manually select which historical invoices you wish the payment to apply to, or use our auto-calculate feature to disperse the value of this payment against the invoices outstanding

Improve calculation of delivery site information, so all virtual sites report the head office/admin site as their training location

Improvements:
Performance:
· We have spent significant effort in this release to improve network performance and reduce memory usage. This will impact the entire application, but in particular the class edit screen has been a focus of our efforts. You may not notice any difference if you were on a fast local network, but remote connections should see significant improvement. In some cases on a very slow link we observed open the class edit view improve from 30 seconds to 5 seconds.

· Ensure that students enrolled in module only enrolments are reported as enrolling and working towards a qualification (note for non QLD users, the opposite applies in other states – module only enrolments report with no links to a parent qualification, as the student has not indicated their intent to enrol in, and complete, a full qualification).

Version 2.0.4 has fixed performance problem in the timetable view when there are a large number of sessions in the database.
