Like Christmas in July

We’re giving the gift of updates this month, with a ton of brand new features and fixes that you’re sure to love. We’re working hard on streamlining processes & workflows to make things easier for you!

Students & Teachers

  • Student Groups are now relabeled as « Group Tags » throughout My Music Staff, and have added functionality including color coding & being able to search Families & Invoices by group tag. For more information on Group Tags and how to use them, check out our blog post here.
  • We continue to streamline teacher privileges by visually removing options that teachers without privileges don’t have the ability to change
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing students who pay a flat monthly rate from having their name display properly in a teacher’s payroll table
  • We resolved an error that would occur when attempting to assign a teacher to an inactive student
  • Teachers can now view their own payroll attachments (eg. paystubs) regardless of their privileges to « add/edit expenses & other revenue »
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing all available group tags to appear in a list if the amount created was over 25 total
  • We resolved an error that would occur when attempting to return to a Student Profile from Repertoire Performance Details

Calendar & Attendance

  • We fixed an issue that was preventing the recent lesson notes history window from closing properly on mobile devices
  • We resolved an error that was affecting the creation of categories from locations outside of the Calendar

Invoicing, Billing & Payments

  • We updated the « Add Expense or Other Revenue » dropdown to be a more user-friendly grid design (similar to the « Add Transaction » options)
  • We fixed an issue that was occurring when attempting to delete a custom expense category tied to mileage
  • We updated the Families & Invoices page with brand new features, including the ability to search families by group tag & column sorting

  • We resolved an error that would occur when attempting to return to a Family Account from the Student Details page

Website Builder

General/Other
