Hello Everyone,

Here’s what’s new and improved in My Music Staff this week:

• We’ve added a « Teacher Phone Number » and « Studio Phone Number » placeholder to the Event Reminder email template. This allows you to provide a contact phone number if the student should phone the studio (or teacher directly for multi-teacher studios).
• You can now set a Location when adding a « Non-Teaching Event » directly from the calendar.
• If you have custom fields on the student sign-up form, the form fields are now emailed to you in the same order they appear on the form. Additionally, a blank line is inserted in between each custom field in the « Notes » section of the student details page for readability.
• From the Calendar, if you delete a recurring event and select « Future Events« , all those events will now be deleted, even if the attendance was already taken. (Prior to this change, events which had the attendance taken were skipped which caused a bit of confusion.)
• In the multi-teacher calendar, filtering by teacher now removes those teachers from the « Day » and « Timeline » views (just like in the old v1 calendar).
• The « Payment Received » email now correctly uses your region settings when an online payment is made (currency symbol and date formats are now consistent with your studio settings).
• We updated the date picker so that it no longer jumps to 1900 if you click on the wrong area, and it also now displays correctly on iPhone/Android phones.
• We fixed a rare condition that could cause no payroll entries to be created for students who pay a flat monthly rate and have no default category assigned.
• If you rename a file in the « Download Library » the file extension is now always preserved (so you can’t accidentally rename a file to something that a student can’t open).
• We fixed an obscure problem that affected various pages on the site which would cause the page to stop responding until you refreshed it.
• When editing an event, you should be returned to the same day/month on the calendar when you save your changes.
• In multi-teacher studios, if you drag a calendar event onto a teacher who isn’t assigned to the student attendee, the error message you receive is now actually helpful.
• Printing the calendar by month now works again as expected.

We hope you enjoy this week’s updates. Have a great week!
