Today we’ve made a change to My Music Staff that allows you to add fees to multiple families at once. This is a real time saver if you charge your families any sort of annual or per-semester fee.
To make this work, we split the « Payments, Fees and Credits » button on the « Families & Invoices » page into to two separate options. There’s now a button for « Add Payment or Credit » which works just like it did before, and there’s a new button labelled « Add Fees ».
The « Add Fees » popup allows you select multiple families (there’s also a handy shortcut to select all your active families). There are also two new options:
- One fee per family – This will create a single fee for each selected family, regardless of how many students in that family are taking lessons from you.
- One fee per student – This will create a fee entry for each active student in the family. For example, a family with 3 students taking lessons from you would get the fee added to their account 3 times; once for each student.
Note that if you’re zoomed in to view the « Family Summary » page, the « Add Fee » button will only add the fee to the current family. To add a fee to multiple accounts you must be viewing the high level « Families & Invoices » page.
