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. Increasing Visibility of Visitor Photos & Background Checks

    Improvement
    • Visitor Management

    Redesigned background check match dialog: the whole dialog was redesigned so you can quickly understand a potential match’s details, crime(s), appearance and more. The photos are larger and rectangular for easier side-by-side comparison.

    Better photos: hover over an avatar in the visitor list to see a larger photo, or click the avatar on a visitor’s profile to see it full size.

  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. Trusted Visitor Background Check Expiration

    New
    • Visitor Management

    You now have the option to set an expiration policy for Trusted Visitor background checks. Once a check expires, the Trusted Visitor is rechecked the next time they scan in. 

    To set the expiration policy:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Visitor Management.
    2. Select Configure Visitor Verification Settings.
    3. Scroll down to the Trusted Visitors section.

  6. Filter Contacts by Campus

    Improvement
    • General

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

  7. Customizable columns in Visitor Management

    Improvement
    • Visitor Management

    You can now choose which columns appear in your Visits list and arrange them in the order you prefer.

    • Each tab (Active, Upcoming, Pending, Denied, Departed, and All) can be customized separately. For example, you might show the Notes column right next to the visitor’s name on the Active tab while hiding it entirely on the Departed tab.
    • To customize a tab, click the column settings icon next to the search bar, then toggle columns on or off and drag them to reorder. Select “Reset to defaults” at any time to restore the original layout.
    • Your settings are saved to your browser, so they apply automatically each time you return on that device. You can set up different layouts on different devices

  9. 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.
