SELMA RELEASE NOTES – October 2024 Mini-Release

Main Features

Introducing the New System Notification Feature:

We have implemented the System Notification Feature in SELMA to improve how the system communicates various types of notifications directly to users.

  • Direct Communication:
    • Enables SELMA to send different types of notifications directly into users’ instances, ensuring timely and relevant information delivery.
  • Diverse Notification Types:
    • Information: Provides essential updates and announcements.
    • Errors: Alerts users about system issues or errors for prompt resolution.
    • Updates: Notifies users about the latest system enhancements and feature releases.
  • Special Notifications:
    • Automatic Modal Pop-Ups: Triggers critical updates as modal notifications that appear automatically to highlight major announcements.
    • User Acknowledgment Required: Requires users to manually close these special notifications, preventing them from reappearing and ensuring acknowledgment of important information.
  • User-Specific Display:
    • Displays notifications separately for each user, maintaining an organized interface tailored to individual responsibilities and roles.

Introduction of the IRD Number Field

  • In response to TEC’s latest requirements, SELMA now includes the IRD Number Field to enhance data collection and ensure compliance with regulatory standards..
    • The IRD Number field enforces a strict 9-digit numerical format, ensuring data consistency and minimizing entry errors.
    • Captured IRD numbers are integrated into future reports, facilitating detailed analytics and compliance reporting.

Introducing the Impairment Category Dropdown

  • We have added the Impairment Category Dropdown in SELMA to improve the management and reporting of student disabilities in compliance with TEC’s latest requirements.
    • Implemented as a dropdown within the student object, allowing users to select multiple impairment categories simultaneously.
    • Works in conjunction with the newly implemented disability fields, providing a complete overview of each student’s specific needs.


Boosting SELMA’s Speed and Responsiveness

  • Significant Performance Enhancements have been implemented across SELMA, aimed at delivering a faster and more responsive user experience. These improvements ensure that all interactions within SELMA are smoother, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

Key Improvements:

  • Optimized Loading Times:
    • Grids and Records: Reduced loading times for all grids, including Student and Enrolment Records, allowing for quicker access to data.
  • Faster Modal Interactions:
    • Modal Loading: All modals within SELMA now open more quickly, reducing wait times during workflow processes.
