Google Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration:
We’re excited to introduce a series of enhancements that make logging into Educate easier and more flexible with Google Single Sign-On (SSO). These updates are designed to streamline access, improve account management, and support educators already connected via Google Classroom.🔹
Sign in with Google
You’ll now see a
“Sign in with Google”
button on the Educate login screen.- Choose from already signed-in Google accounts or use another account.
- Designed in line with updated UX standards.
🔹
Link Your Google Account
After signing in with Google, you can link your account to your Educate login:
- If MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) is enabled in Google account, you will be asked to authenticate.
- Enter your Educate credentials in the login screen.
- Once linked, future logins via Google SSO will bypass Educate credentials.
- Multiple Google accounts can link to one Educate login.
- Each Google account can only be linked to one Educate user.
🔹
Manage Google SSO via “My Account”
You can now manage your Google SSO connections directly from the
“My Account”
page: 
- View linked accounts in this section with options to Un-link.
- Unlinking is easy, click the Un-link icon next to a Google account.

Enhanced Attendance by Group Report:
We’ve made several improvements to the Attendance by Group Report to help schools better manage and export attendance data for programmes such as Before/After Care, sports, and clubs.
Improved Data Accuracy & Exportability
- Student ID and TADS Suite ID are now included, making it easier to reconcile records and support mass billing workflows via TADS.
- Attendance Date is clearly shown, helping track when students were present for specific programmes.
Better Reporting for Operational Needs
- Minutes attended are now included in Excel exports, supporting more precise reporting for staffing, compliance, and state submissions.
- Auto filter out students without attendance data keeps reports lean and focused.
Cleaner, Smarter Reports
- Enhanced logic prevents duplicate or repetitive entries, especially when filtering by date range.
- Reports now reflect only relevant student data, improving clarity and usability.

Maintenance and Bug Fixes:
- ✅ You can now remove students from WiseData sync if they were added by mistake or due to changes in program participation.
- 👨👩👧👦 Parents with multiple children can accurately view and print each child’s class schedule.
- 📅 The date format in the POS report titled "item count" now correctly displays as mm/dd/yyyy.
- 📢 Teachers can now edit the "link" and "image upload" tools in announcements.
- 💳 On the POS setup page, the "test" field within payment gateway is now editable by support—preventing sample data from appearing in live reports.
