…because our updates get rid of bugs! Check out our blog post for our newest fixes & updates, including the ability to visit a teacher’s profile right from the calendar, see a student’s age easily in their profile, and new updates to blog posts & mileage!
Student Management
- You can now view a student’s age directly from the student’s profile! No more doing calendar math or checking the student list
- We improved the performance of the message history page to reduce the lag that occurs when trying to view thousands of messages at once
- Setting your default naming format to « Last, First » was causing student names to be imported backwards (the importer’s default is « First Last »). It’s not backwards day, so we got those turned back around.
- We know birthdays can be stressful, but now the sign-up form no longer blames the birthday field if something goes wrong
- We fixed an issue where using « Add Another Student » when adding a new student manually was causing two different billing profile options to appear
- We’ve removed the ability to save a blank email template with no content (this would be like photocopying a blank sheet of paper in order to save a blank sheet of paper)
- When downloading the student list, you will now see only one notice regarding your download instead of two
- You can now add a parent to an existing family (without having to summon the support team for back-up)
Calendar & Attendance
- You can now click on a teacher’s name in the calendar and it will bring you right to their teacher profile!
- We improved the performance of the bulk attendance page to reduce the lag that occurs when checking off hundreds of students
- The teacher drop-down menu in the Book from Availability form is now in alphabetical order
- Deleted categories no longer haunt newly created events (like the ghosts of bad decisions)
Families & Invoices
- When choosing to « Save and Add Another » when adding a transaction, the date field no longer resets
- Add Transaction no longer clears the amount after selecting a family from the dropdown. The form has stopped sabotaging itself.
- You could always delete a charge from the transaction menu, but you can now also successfully delete a charge from the Edit Charge menu too!
- We fixed an issue that was preventing sales tax to be removed from all accounts retroactively
- We added more data that can be pulled from invoices that can be included in triggers within Zapier
Website Builder & Online Booking Forms
- We improved the way conversion tracking is explained within a booking form’s confirmation page (this isn’t the time to be mysterious)
- Website builder now warns about character limits before you write a whole novel
- Sign up forms will no longer require contact information from adult students if they’re being added to a family that already has a family contact
- We fixed a bug that was preventing booking forms from submitting when online payments were enabled
- Website « Hero images » can no longer be hyperlinked (this is one superpower this « hero » will have to live without)
News & Blog Posts
- Blog/News Posts now appear as a slide-in window instead of a new page
- The News & Blog Posts window now supports video files! Welcome to 2005, but better
- We fixed the bulk pin setting in News & Blog Posts. Now, pinning actually pins everything instead of just flipping the pin status to its opposite
General/Other
- Difficult time zone searching? Not on our watch! We improved the search functions of time zones throughout the app
- We updated the design of the Roles & Privileges menu in Teachers & Staff. Say goodbye to « Can my teachers see this » questions!
- Lists of group tags are now listed in alphabetical order everywhere
- Lent items on the Home Page now appear without needing a refresh
- Resubscribing to an old My Music Staff membership plan no longer causes issues accessing the Membership tab
- Mileage table now updates immediately after adding a trip instead of on refresh
- The mobile mileage flow now appear as a slide-in window instead of a new page
- Report dropdown filters now correctly return your results (Searching no longer just tries, it succeeds)
- We fixed an issue that was notifying all students that a new resource was added to Online Resources, even if the student doesn’t have access
- We’ve clarified the error message that you receive when trying to upload a duplicate file or a file that’s too large to Online Resources
- Various cosmetic tweaks throughout
