One Education Client Replacement for Silverlight components (3.74)
This release includes further changes to facilitate the move away from Silverlight which Microsoft are de-supporting from October 2021. For previous release, see the release notes for 3.73.
The release provides One Education Client Replacement for Silverlight components and all modules not included ‘Exclusions’. Selecting the ‘Exclusions’ will launch the Silverlight browser module which will be replaced in the future via a new cloud native Exclusions Portal.
The functionality within the modules remains the same with a small number of minor styling changes. Please note no additional training will be required.
As Local Authorities transition to the new version, they are able to determine the availability of One Education Client modules in Test and Live systems by changing values in the System Defaults area of System Administration.
Individual users or user groups can use both One Education Client and Silverlight versions interchangeably by choosing their access path.
- Choosing the current Silverlight URL will launch the Silverlight login and lozenge pages. Silverlight modules launched from this lozenge page will always call a browser and start the Silverlight version of the software.
- Selecting the One Education Client app from the windows desktop will start the One Education Client login and lozenge pages. The lozenge page will display all licensed modules like Silverlight but only modules configured as active in system defaults will launch in One Education Client all other modules will launch in their native technology.
NOTE: Not all modules presented in the Silverlight lozenge page use Silverlight Technology, i.e. Transport, Citizen Portal Admin, Professional Portal Admin, System Administration, One Analytics and One Insight. These all launch from this page in their own technologies and are not affected by these changes and will always start in the same way no matter which lozenge screen the user starts from.
For the 3.74 release, you can choose to move away from Silverlight in its entirety (apart for users of the Exclusions module) via means of the One Education Client.
From the 3.75 release, modules using Silverlight will no longer be supported or included. Where Silverlight has been deployed on Capita managed web servers, in October 2021 Silverlight will be removed so users wishing to remain on 3.74 (or any earlier version) will need to have moved to using the One Education client before this date.
