SAM Server Enterprise Edition v1.7.4 Maintenance Release
The SAM Server Enterprise Edition v1.7.4 Maintence Release is now available. This release contains updates for both FASTT Math and SAM.
FASTT Math Updates:
- Improves performance for all users, by correcting an issue that sometimes caused scheduled backups to fail, teacher alerts not to be generated, and could cause the server to become unresponsive.
- Adjusts the response time a student has to respond to his or her facts. The program caused the time out function (the timer) to engage .25 seconds sooner than intended.
SAM Updates:
- Fix of a SAM server issue which was causing incorrect student names to be displayed at the end of an SRI test for a small number of users
- Improved server responsiveness and stability in situations with a high number of concurrent users
- Improved SAM functionality, including ability to show more than 100 students in the Smart Bar in SAM, ability to use mass un-enrollment functionality, and fix of an issue that prevented teachers from accessing the licensing screen at the school level
- Fix of an issue that caused an error in certain auto-aggregation situations
- Fix of an issue that caused inability to create backups with customers using McAfee AntiVirus 8.5.Oi

Students can be reset to the Placement Assessment using the "Reset Placement" checkbox on the Advanced Settings screen for FASTT Math in SAM.
