Student schedules now update in Orah on the same day a change is made in your SIS. Previously, when a student was added to or removed from a class, Orah only applied that change to future schedules — today's class rolls kept their original roster even after a successful sync, so a teacher could open a roll missing a newly enrolled student, or still listing one who'd left. This was most disruptive during add/drop periods, and the only workaround was discarding the roll and letting Orah rebuild it.
A new setting — Apply enrollment changes to today's schedules whose rolls have not started — fixes this. When it's on, enrollment changes apply to all future schedules and to any of today's schedules whose roll hasn't started yet. Rolls that have already started or been completed are never rewritten, so attendance your staff has already taken stays exactly as they left it.
Available for Blackbaud, Veracross, FACTS, Synergetic, and TASS.
How to turn it on
Go to Admin Console → Data Integration, open the SIS integration you want (for example Blackbaud), click Schedule, tick Apply enrollment changes to today's schedules whose rolls have not started, and click Save. Then run a Groups and Schedules sync, or wait for the next scheduled sync.
Good to know
Newly connected integrations have this on by default. Existing integrations stay off until an admin turns it on and saves — so nothing changes for a school until they choose it. Started or completed rolls are always locked and won't be rewritten.
