Discover What's New in HEART on January 28

We are pleased to inform you that our HEART database is scheduled to be updated on Thursday, January 28. The newest version of HEART has several new features and a few features that will look and feel a little different. When the new version is updated, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the changes. Details about enhancements are more clearly defined in a pdf available for download here. Below is a quick list of the major changes.

• DIBELS data file import is implemented
• Direct upload of data files for import
• Security enhancements
• Behavior module enhancements
  
• Growth chart revised to resist problems with retained students, etc.

As is true whenever new features are added to HEART, there is the possibility that users will encounter bugs and other oddities. We need your help to find and fix any issues that exist with the system. If you or any of your staff encounter problems, please let us know. It is most helpful if the report includes a screenshot of the problem screen along with a description of the steps leading up to the problem. Please also include contact information so we can follow up if needed.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcomed. We will never be able to implement all of the ideas that are shared, but we do try to add the things that our users request. Several of the enhancements in this version of HEART are the direct result of user requests. Thank you for your support!
