Upcoming Enhancements.
 
 
 
This is our list of confirmed changes for the 2022 - 2023 School Year.
 
GENERAL 
  • Update Rich Text Editor used in all forms to the latest release.
  • When using the electronic signature option, create an option to identify if the document was signed in person and add the ability to upload a signed document at that point.
  • In the IEP form, add the ability to search prior IEPs from the Search Current Forms option in the rich text fields.
  • Redesign the goal page of the IEP to update the user interface and allow for drag/drop capability to reorder the goals.
  • Provide the ability to add a student to the Invitation to Participate form if they are below 14 years of age.
  • Create a District option to control the turning on/off of electronic signatures per each specific form.
  • Add the Career and Technology Center (CIP) code field to custom rosters, so it can be integrated into user reports.
  • Expand the ability to add attachments to any form that has a signature option.
  • Add the "Start from Previous" option to the Procedural Safeguards Letter.
  • Bring back the rapid entry function to input Act 16 data.
  • Add an indicator to the Behavior Intervention Plan that would indicate if restraints were used and create a report that users can run to identify which BIP had restraint usage.
  • Add a Copy function to the PIMS Student Template screen for those LEAs that do not roll over their templates.
  • Add the "Gender Identity" field to Student Demographics and synch with the PIMS Student Template (if applicable).
  • Add additional auditing for the electronic signature process that captures to whom the signature requests were sent, and add a corresponding audit report.
  • Add a "None at this time" option for the Accommodations on the 504 RR document.
  • Provide capability to duplicate goals in the Transition section of the IEP, so that text does not have to be copied/pasted multiple times to different sections. (Post Secondary and Employment)
  • Reorganize the PennData Reports Page.
  • From the Staff list page, give districts the ability to show only District staff (hide all IU IEP User staff that show).
    •                
  • Under Help, redesign the Blank and annotated Form page.
STaR™
  • Change the Parent Portal option and make it available to all students instead of just Early Intervention.
  • Enable users to view more than 30 days of previous logs if desired from the log page.
 
 

 
 
 
 
Current Form Changes. 
 
 
 
In response to the overwhelming demand at the Fall Focus Group meetings, we have listened and will be implementing an exciting enhancement this month!

Electronic signature options for both selected Gifted and 504 documents will be available soon. Rather than waiting until next school year, we felt this was the best option to accommodate the needs of our customers. Please take notice to your IEPWriter Current News and Notifications to be alerted when this enhancement is in place!
