2.5.4 Sort student lists

1. #101: Added sort/filter functionality for lists to allow advisors to easily sort and filter their lists of students, but this functionality also applies to other lists in the system. Student list sort/filter is currently as follows:

• Name and Student ID columns can be sorted and filtered
• Status column cannot be sorted or filtered YET (we are working on this for the next release!)
• Cohort column can be filtered (sorting is not possible for this column)
  To sort a column, click on the column header once. To sort it the opposite way, click on the column header again.
  
  To filter a column, start typing what you want to filter to in the box above the column you want to filter by. To remove the filter, delete what you typed in the box.
  

2. #99: With the retirement of CTools, we have adjusted the help text for the weekly activity visualization to remove mention of CTools.

3. #112 #108 #115: Changes to handling of lists and list items to make the sorting/filtering work.

2.5.3 Search and permission denied enhancements

1. Issues #61 #90 #97: Previously, users who didn't have an account at all (had never had access) in Student Explorer would see a message telling them they didn't have permission to Student Explorer with no information about how to get permission. Additionally, users who previously had an account but had access removed (account deactivated) for whatever reason would see a "This page isn't working" HTTP 405 error page, which was not helpful in understanding what was going on--it made it look as though Student Explorer was broken, when in reality, the user simply did not have permission to log in. Now, both users with deactivated accounts and users with no accounts will see the same message to provide information on what is going on and how to get access:

Permission Denied
You do not currently have access to Student Explorer, an early-warning tool that uses course and assignment data from Canvas to help advisors, coaches, and mentors identify at-risk students and facilitate outreach to these students. For more information about Student Explorer including how to get access and who to contact for assistance, please see the Student Explorer Documentation.

2. Issue #83: Previously, the search would only search on the first word entered, regardless of how many words were entered (for example: if you searched "Jane Doe", Student Explorer would show a list of everyone named "Jane" instead of only the one person named "Jane Doe". This release will now search for multiple words to find students by first and last name (for example, now, if you were to search by "Jane Doe," you would only get one result--the one person named "Jane Doe"). Thank you to one of our users who requested this change!

Student Explorer Minor Updates and Fixes

1. #68: A new link in the header will open a new window to the ITS Documentation for Student Explorer. This is in response to feedback from across the Advising Community that more help resources and clarity on how to get help are needed. Special thanks to the advisors who participated in the UMSI research project on Student Explorer and to the research team for this recommendation! We hope this is a step in the right direction, and welcome feedback on this change as well as on how to improve the documentation.
   

2. #38: Edits to the data refresh information in the bottom right of the footer to clarify the "snapshot in time" of the data that you are looking at. We also added the UDW (primary data source) Scheme version for reference.
   

3. #62: The Student Explorer logo in the upper left of the header will now link you to the homepage (which is your cohort dashboard, if you have a cohort, otherwise the Advisors page). This is a change based on design best practices.
   

4. #63: Added a control on the admin side to prevent the entry of non-alphanumeric, space, or dash characters in the "Code" field while creating cohorts.
   

5. #59 #39: non-user-facing change and bug fix
