2019 has been a "big" year for BigSIS! We know you may not have heard from us in a while because we have had our heads down making BigSIS bigger and better for you.
This article will list out some of the biggest highlights of what we've worked on this year (and continue to work on). There are more specific release notes from throughout the year that this will link to as well.

- Official/Unofficial Copies
- This feature allows you to download two different copies, 'Official' copies or 'Unofficial' copies, of all your MPFs. This includes Applications, Contracts, and Enrollment and People MPF's. This feature will ensure that once a form is completed that you will have an 'Official' copy that will never be altered by changes you might make to an MPF. This is an extra step we took to ensure that if you ever make edits to a contract that was already filled out by anyone, their submitted copy will not reflect those changes, but will remain how it was when they filled it out. This is the "Official" copy

- We have a list of major improvements coming over the coming weeks and months, including:

- Instead paying a deposit for each student, pay once per family
- Quick Edit for Leads

- Sign Intent Form
- We have a list of major improvements coming over the coming weeks and months, including:

New Report Features
- Course Averaging
- Assessment Reports can now include all grades from all assessment periods in the term (as well as other terms if a course is part of a Master Course). Admins can choose to display averages for the end of the term or year as well as after other selected assessment periods. Admins have lots of options on how to display the new Course Grades Table (e.g., Letter Grades only, Percentage Only, both, decide when to average grades, what weight to give each period, etc. and much more). This was a huge project and we are very excited about it and know a lot of schools will be excited too!
