2/3/26 Release Notes

WISEdata

“FAPE Student Details” Screen in Resources Menu

A new “FAPE Student Details” screen in the Resources menu of the WiseData Portal (WDP) makes transparent for which resident students your district is FAPE accountable, even if they attend school in a different district. District users can now review resident student details when the FAPE accountable school on the sSEPA record belongs to their district, but another district submitted the record.

“Favorites” Feature on Exports Screen

We added a new Favorites feature to the Exports screen to help users easily identify and save preferred exports. The feature introduces a new column titled Favorite. Each export in this column displays an unselected star icon, which fills when the user clicks it to mark the export as a favorite. Users can select any number of favorites without restriction, and these selections save to their profile. The Exports screen has two radio buttons above the list of exports, “Show Favorites” and “Show All.” Clicking the “Show Favorites” button reduces the full list of exports to display only the user’s selected favorites.

We have fixed a bug that was generating an error when using 0000 – District wide as the working school when the working agency is a CESA for some assignment codes. The error code will fall off the Validate Staff Data list when statewide validation is run on Feb 4.
