This week we introduced two new significant features Blocked Dates and Mileage Tracking.<\/p>\n

Blocked Dates<\/h2>\n

The new blocked dates feature allows you to mark off days that you don’t want recurring lessons to be scheduled on. That means you can setup events at the start of the semester (such as national holidays, spring break, etc.), then schedule your lessons and My Music Staff will know to skip those dates.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to get started:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your My Music Staff account and view your Calendar<\/li>\n
  2. Click \u00ab\u00a0Edit Categories\u00a0\u00bb on the right<\/li>\n
  3. Create a new category and call it \u00ab\u00a0Vacation\u00a0\u00bb. On the new category popup you will see a new option labelled \u00ab\u00a0Blocked Dates\u00a0\u00bb, turn this option on and then click OK to save your new category<\/li>\n
  4. Now go back to the calendar and use the \u00ab\u00a0New Event\u00a0\u00bb button to schedule \u00ab\u00a0Vacation\u00a0\u00bb days when you don’t want lessons to appear<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can create as many blocked categories as you need; you can be as broad or as specific as you’d like. If you schedule blocked dates after you’ve already scheduled your lessons, My Music Staff won’t remove those existing lessons. So there’s no need to worry about accidentally removing existing events.<\/p>\n

    Mileage<\/h2>\n

    We’ve also added a \u00ab\u00a0Mileage Tracker\u00a0\u00bb feature to My Music Staff that enables you to track mileage for business travel\u00a0that you’ve driven throughout the year. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be able to claim some or all of your mileage as a tax deduction (talk to your local tax specialist to find out what the laws are in your area).<\/p>\n

    Individual mileage entries can be added, or they can be recurring if your drive the same route on a regular basis. If you create a recurring mileage entry, My Music Staff will automatically skip blocked dates (just like with recurring events).<\/p>\n

    (Note to non-US members: If you see miles instead of kilometers, change your \u00ab\u00a0Region\u00a0\u00bb setting inside your user profile.)<\/p>\n
