What's new

New features, improvements and fixes across Ruvna.

  1. Improved Attendance Navigation

    Improvement
    • Attendance

    Working through a list of attendance records should take a lot fewer clicks now:

    • The Attendance nav bar now shows on every record page. From inside a student’s record you can go straight to any Attendance page or open search, without going back first.
    • The Records list remembers where you left off. Click Records in the top nav and your list comes back on the same tab (All / On Site / Off Site / Unknown), with the same filters and sort. This is saved per school in the browser, so it’s still there after closing the tab or coming back the next day.

  2. Download Student Barcodes

    New
    • Attendance

    Schools using Revocable Barcodes can now download a CSV of every student’s current barcode value and the date it was generated. This makes it easy to use those barcodes outside of Ruvna, like printing them on student IDs.

    To access, go to Settings > Attendance > Student App Settings, and click Download CSV under Download Student Barcodes. (Only available in the new web app.)

  3. Announcement Templates

    New
    • Announcements

    You can now save the messages your school sends again and again as reusable templates. Weather delays, practice cancellations, form deadline reminders: write them once, and anyone on your team can start from the same polished version next time.

    • Start from a template: Find your school’s shared library under Announcements > Templates. Choose “Use Template” to open a new draft with the subject, message, channels, and audience already filled in. Change the details that differ, then send or schedule like any other announcement.

  4. View the Event Start Notification on iOS

    Improvement
    • Accountability

    During an emergency or drill, faculty and staff using the Ruvna iOS app can now see the notification sent when the event started, right in the group-wide message thread. If someone missed or dismissed the alert, the original instructions are still there for reference.

  5. Filter Contacts by Campus

    Improvement
    • General

    In multi-campus/district environments, you can now filter contacts by campus.

  7. Support for Standard Response Protocol

    New
    • Accountability

    Accountability now supports the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). If your school has adopted SRP, your event types in Ruvna can use the same language, icons, and colors your staff has been trained on, so there’s no translation required during a drill or a real emergency.
