Franklin 12.0 Release Notes

Enhancements

MCS Report Library

Admin & Maintenance | Advanced Setup | User-Defined Reports

We have added the ability to add User-Defined Reports from the MCS Report Library. This Library is maintained by HSS and will continue to grow as reports are reviewed and approved. Reports added from the MCS Report Library cannot be edited, however, you may make a copy of the report if you would like to modify it.

Note: The MCS Report Library can now be accessed in Franklin, but reports are coming soon!

Scheduled Jobs

Admin & Maintenance | Advanced Setup | Scheduled Jobs | Email Letters

We have updated the email system to better handle batches that contain invalid email addresses. The system will now log the invalid addresses and complete the batch.. Upon completion of the batch, invalid email addresses are displayed to the user as an exception, and are also available in the Scheduled Job Log Report.

Scheduled Jobs

We have updated scheduled jobs in MSA Client to improve reliability and performance in MCS Cloud.

Backdating DC Matches

Utilities | Direct Certification | Import File

We have updated DC Matching to allow the user to define the effective date of the file.

If the effective date is in the past, the system will create a Status Backdate record to allow Meal Eligibility Corrections to update the claim and student purchases.
