Bug
Fixed: duplicate record search match criteria and processing of error messages received with new CCNs

CC-1489
Bug
Fixed: CB06 and CB07 calculating for non credit courses

The auto calculation for credits in the CB06 and CB07 fields are now disabled when the CB04 selection is noncredit. CB06 and CB07 only display 0 or 0.00 when the user edits or adds Min/Max Contact and Outside of Class Hours and the course is noncredit.

  • Changing Min/Max Contact Hours and Outside of Class Hours will result in a sub change warning if the course has a control number assigned.
  • Entering Min/Max Contact Hours and Outside of Class hours for the first time will not trigger a substantial change, even when the course has a control number
  • User is able to manually edit CB06 and CB07

Bug
Fixed: Substantial change flags on Units and Hours fields in PROGRAM proposals

With this fix, users are now able to edit any of the fields in the units and hours section of a program proposal and save/submit without triggering a subchange flag/warning.

  • All fields are required (must contain a response before submitting)
  • 0.00 is allowed
  • 0.00 where the field was previously blank will not trigger a sub change

Bug
Fixed: CB09 Validation blocking submissions

Updates to CB09 now allow users top successfully complete a course submission when there is a match between CB09 selection and TOP Code type. 

  • Users can submit a course proposal (new or edited) with CB09 = A, B, C, D when CB03 = Vocational and get to a success completion message.
  • Users can submit a course proposal (new or edited) with CB09 = E when CB03 = not Vocational and get to a success completion message.

Bug
Fixed: Inconsistent issues with Edit Programs page loading Loading 

Users have reported page load issues when entering the programs screen from the edit link on the main programs page. Having identified the root cause, submitters can now access all expected action buttons and fields and changes to the program proposal can be successfully saved and displayed in view and edit modes. The edit program page loads with all data and attachments displayed and the correct page layout and formatting are present.
