BUG FIXES

mceclip1.png

CONTENT FILTER:

  • Risks: Resolved an issue within the Risk tab where search queries were strictly case-sensitive and failed to return partial matching entries.

  • Extension: Fixed an exception where flagged risks failed to execute expected site blocks by introducing a self-healing localized database layer alongside advanced error-logging fallbacks.

  • Policy: Corrected an interface mapping bug where clicking the "Reset" button after filtering inside a group improperly redirected users to the root parent OU level.

  • Filtering: Fixed a routing bug where Google Classroom URLs utilizing intermediate link redirections (google.com/url) were mistargeted as generic search queries and blocked.

CLASSROOM MANAGER:

  • Sessions: Resolved a minor latency delay where clicking "End Session" or hitting hard session countdown limits failed to immediately terminate active classroom sessions.

  • Reports: Addressed severe rendering delays by optimizing performance load times for query lookups inside the Violations view.

  • Classes: Fixed issue where importing file with matching "course_id" failed to update the existing class.
