Updates

- A flag has been added to caregiver details and online enrolment to hide contact details in portals. The flag can be set when editing caregiver details in Edge, and on the OLE form by the caregiver in the caregiver detail section. NB, the flag is set per student-caregiver relationship as this is how all caregiver flags are handled in Edge. If a caregiver has the hide contact details flag set in respect to ANY student then their details will be hidden from ALL caregivers who also have a caregiver relationship with that student, when viewing ANY student. This is to stop people circumventing the block if the flag hadn’t been set on each individual caregiver-student relationship.

- Staff can now edit incomplete pastoral records that they created even if they don't have the Pastoral Officer role. This can be done by clicking the Pastoral icon in the top bar in Teacher mode and clicking on a student or their pastoral record counts. It can also be done from the student details page by clicking on the pastoral bubbles (with the counts) and clicking on a button next to the record. This second method also works in admin mode so that non-teacher non-pastoral-officers can also edit pastoral records they created.

- Information on the i on the NCEA Student Summary page only appeared on hover. It now also appears on click.
