This feature has been around in the desktop and tablet apps pretty much forever, but we only recently brought it to the web app. If you're editing a student, you can now easily navigate to a list of all that student's COEs. There's a link "List COEs for Student" just below the Student ID Search box here:

The Subject pretty much says it all. I first covered the new EDFacts reporting system in this post last fall. I think there might still be a state or two that had some special dependence on running the reports in the old way, but I think we're working on bringing even those into the new architecture. It should result in faster, more accurate, and more consistent reports. And as we continue to get the old system retired, it gives us a good launching pad for the future. If you don't have access to the new EDFacts reports in your state, let us know and we'll get a new release out to you or make whatever configuration changes are needed.

This school year, 2023/2024, should be the final year for the old MIS2000 desktop app. Many of you have never even seen it, but it's the one that looks like this:

I reported last May that we had added the ability to filter columns in the EDFacts Reports in the blog post here. We've now added the ability to export these students to a Student List, and more importantly, the export also respects the filtering, whether it goes to a Student List or to a CSV file:

I've had a few states come to me recently because MSIX/OME is complaining about their values for MSIX MDE 52 Assessment Type:

One thing that's been conspicuously missing from the web app for its entire existence is the ability to delete a student. This sounds like fundamental functionality, and in some sense it is, but it really just doesn't come up all that often. The few times it has, we've just directed users to delete students from the desktop app, either old or new, and that has gotten us over the hump. But we've finally worked this functionality in. And it's still being polished. It basically looks like this:

We've been planning to do this for years, and I've been a little surprised that no one ever asked for it. Once MSIX implemented it, I thought, "Any day now." But it still took a while for someone make the request. But finally Tennessee did, and we've begun rolling it out. It's nothing fancy, but works pretty much just like it does in MSIX. Just go to "Your Account" and click the "Use MFA" checkbox:

We're still working on getting the new EDFacts reporting overhaul rolled out to all states. I covered that in this blog post. But we've also been enhancing the page a bit here and there. One thing we added is column filtering for results, whether you're in list or count mode. Here's what it looks like filtering the 054 report on "Age Grade" of 10:

MS/EdD hasn't be at a NASDME conference since 2019. I'm sure there's a reason... What was it...? Well, anyway, it was nice to be back! We always enjoy seeing familiar faces, putting faces with familiar people, and talking with new folks. Here's a photo of me and Victor with some of the Minnesota Tri-Valley gals.

Victor, Natasha, and I will all be in Albuquerque this year, and we hope everyone will come by and say hi. Stop by the booth, let us show you some new features, and ask us the hard questions!
