See additional release information below including minor bug fixes.

### **Catalog Search Optimization**

This feature optimizes search for both the offer catalog and master catalog by indexing database records. Based on testing, search times have **decreased by 88% to 95%** depending on the search criteria. This improvement will facilitate more efficient ordering processes for program administrators, course coordinators, and instructors.

### **Student Choice Bug Fixes**

You can now access the My Courses view for students without enrollments. For program administrator + student users, you will no longer receive a false "Changes Not Saved" confirmation modal after placing an order. The first name and last name table headers in the Students view are now displaying data in the correct order.

### **Additional Bug Fixes**

You can now select the Order Tool logo to return to your home page. Users with multiple profiles such as instructor + course coordinator and student + program administrator can expect more reliable service in the application.

## Known Issues

None.
