New attendance options
|
Attendance now supports a few new values for absent students. Students who are marked absent can now be set to "excused absence" or "unexcused absence". This provides additional flexibility when using the Student Absences interface. It should also eventually integrate with the make-up scheduler. A new informational status for late arrivals has also been added ("Tardy").
When customers mark their own future absences using the customer portal, you can now treat the absences as excused or unexcused. This is handled via a new setting at Website > Community > Portal > Settings.
This same level of attendance support has also been added for appointments. The appointment fee generator can now be set to ignore or count absences when calculating fees.

New PayPal integration
|
A new PayPal integration is available for customers using PayPal to process payments. We recommend all MSS customers currently using PayPal migrate to this integration.
If you use PayPal with Main Street Sites, please go to Setup > General > Settings and click on the big "Update PayPal" button at the top of the page. It will ask you to log in to your PayPal account and authorize us to process your payments. Once that process has been completed you should be up and running with the new integration. Please let us know if you encounter any issues.
Note: unfortunately this new integration is not yet supported in all countries. Please see the eligibilty section on this page for a list of supported countries. We hope more countries will be added soon. The USA, Canada, UK and Australia are supported now, in addition to several EU countries.

Multifactor Authentication
|
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is now supported for Main Street Sites logins. MFA is a popular way to increase security for sensitive accounts. You may already be using a variation of MFA to access your bank account online. Enabling MFA in Main Street Sites can be done by going to your My Account page and selecting the "enable" option for this feature at the bottom of the page.
You'll need to download an "authenticator" app to your phone or computer. Some options for this are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo and Authy. All are free to download and use for this purpose. In each case you'll create an entry in the app for your Main Street Sites account and copy in a secret code -- either via a QRcode or by copying and pasting.
Once enabled, you'll need to enter a 6-digit code each time you log in to your Main Street Sites account. The code will be provided by your authenticator app.
Take a look at this video for complete instructions on how to enable and use this feature.
MFA is also available to any of your staff members who log in to Main Street Sites using user accounts. Enabling MFA for these accounts is done in the same way.

The default email color scheme has been also been updated. The prior default is still available as the "traditional" color scheme.

Hiding Page Vault pages
|
Pages in your page vault can now be marked as "inactive". An inactive page will give a "page not found" error if a user tries to access it on your website.
