This 7.2.2 minor release update focuses on improved usability, enhancing reporting features, updating kiosk functionalities, and more
This update includes new Hall Pass denied reporting and updates, People & ID Manager dashboard changes, new drop-down List Filters, Kiosk updates, and SMS Credit Communication changes.
People & ID Manager Dashboards
Visual updates have been made to the People Manager & ID Manager dashboards to improve the overall look and feel. This change will help with more effective user management and a cleaner, more responsive design.
List Filter Drop-Down Usability
Across Minga we have updated the "My Lists" section across various pages to improve usability and search functionality. This will make it easier for you to manage large lists efficiently, particularly for Principals, Managers, and District Managers.
Anywhere you are using search filters you can choose between your different User Lists.
You can now select one of the following list options:
- My Lists (current term)
- My lists
- All Lists (current term)
- All Lists
💡 Within our platform a "term" refers to a semester-based period. The 'current term' allows you to view and manage user lists specific to the ongoing semester.
Data Denied Hall Pass Reporting
A new reporting feature has been added to the Hall Pass reporting system to better track and analyze denied hall passes. This was designed to improve the clarity and consistency of reporting, allowing for a more in-depth analysis of student behavior and school safety.
The following visual changes were made to show the denier reporting:
- "Denied" column in multiple reports
- Renamed the "Pass" column to "Assigned
- Added status and filtering capabilities, including detailed insights and report enhancements
- Improved Staff Report with denied and overridden tracking, sortable/filterable columns.
- A new column in the "No Party Groups" report, shows the number of hall passes denied in the last 30 days.
Kiosk Updates
We've updated the Kiosk interface to streamline your abilities and enhance security.
Key changes:
- The Kiosk now records hall passes approved by students instead of the teacher.
- The logout button has been replaced with a three-dot dropdown menu, which includes options for "Logout", "Edit Kiosk" and "Reset Kiosk".
- Users must enter their email and PIN to access the in-kiosk secure settings when modifying kiosk settings.

You will be able to view, edit, and create new districts quickly and easily. This improvement will help you get a visual high-level view of your schools.

SMS Credit Communications
We have updated our communications around SMS communication and the Owner of the Minga account will be alerted via email, letting them know they hit the threshold for their SMS usage.
