Feature Ideas

The ability to build a custom report/export

When we click on a Related Contact that has 1 student or multiple like 3 for example. We want there to be a tab for Billing that allows billing admin to see all the fees/payments/billing for all the students linked to the contact. It would help our billing admin greatly.

SMS communication is expensive for the students and dated, while WhatsApp is free. Students can authorized channel.

adding a feature to keep track of teachers absence (like illness, holiday etc) . when a selected teacher shows unavailable, the system could list other available teachers.

Currently we have the brilliant system of push-notifications for when students are marked as absent, the parents receive a notification on their phone. However, some of our parents don't use the app on their phone and instead need an email to notify them. I would love a preset email to be sent to the students related contact email address when they are marked as absent by a teacher, giving a more solid paper trail of proof that we marked their child as absent and the parent has received it, not only as a notification on their phone.

I will be nice if we can manage the Library in TnG being able to create folders and subfolders, search within them, etc.

It could be usefull to notifying student absences over a period. Actually,we have to do it each lesson in particular. In case the student is absent during a month for whatever reason, it's a problem cause it takes a long time to justify it.

Currently, when you go to choose the classroom or location, you have to guess which one is available. You only know if it is occupied after selecting it. It would be helpful if the ones that are already taken were not visible or displayed in a different color to clearly distinguish them.

Any school manager in Europe or US dealing with foreign students knows that e.g. Asian students often use nicknames - they are not their official names but names they choose while living in e.g. and English speaking country. In a somewhat similar fashion African or South American students often have very long names with several middle names, all of which are printed in the passport and have to be kept on file, but they opt to be called by their e.g. 2nd middle name etc. For those reasons it would be very handy to have the nick name show next to the real name in the student profile. Ideally if the field is left empty, it would not show (so that it does not clutter the profiles when not in use). I know I can have a custom field nick-name but it would only show below the fold. I also know I could just add the nick name into the existing student name field - but this would be then printed on all student document templates which would also be wrong. I hope more users would find this feature useful.

We need to generate a report for each student each Trimester. At the moment we create a word document for each each student showing information for each trimester and then each teacher has to type their comments and results for each student. I would like the option to include a customisable report template for each student that could be updated in the student file

I would ideally like to have a single account per family or company so contact details, address etc only needs be updated once e.g for companies I have one primary contact be maybe 20 students also for families where there are 2 or more people in the family who are students, sometimes the parent / primary contact is also a student. The data is not always accurate if there is a charge of address or telephone number. Also we are not using the stripe integration yet but it would help for payments to have a single contact for multiple students.

It would work much better for us if we could have a Title for bookable lessons which is what the parents see but then set separately how the class will be named when it is created..

Refunds - this process is a little difficult. We need to be able to refund a student from their file the same way you can add a payment - 'add a refund' and for this to come off their fees and add a receipt for record

The ability to set max numbers when setting up a class as some classes which take place in the same room have different capacity so the room limit does not always work

Have to scroll down along way as we have many, so its easy to lose position as there is no clear separation.
