October was a big month for amazing updates to My Music Staff, including a brand new attendance experience, automatically assigning group tags to students that fill out your sign-up forms, and the ability to create multiple sign-up widgets on websites not hosted by My Music Staff! These updates were so huge, you could even call them “uge” (they’re so big the “h” didn’t fit). For this reason we gave both of these new features their own blog post, which you can visit at the links below:

Check out the rest of our October updates!
Students & Teachers
- We upgraded the Teachers & Staff section to a cleaner, more streamlined design
When a teacher substitutes for another teacher, their payroll records will now indicate which entries came from substitutions - We updated the students tab in a teacher’s profile to display the « Next Lesson » in that teacher’s time zone instead of the studio time zone
- We fixed an issue that occurred when attempting to assign a teacher to a student after a student’s status has been changed multiple times
- Inactive students have always been able to still access the student portal if they have outstanding payments, but we resolved an issue that was causing the non-payment pages to appear blank for them
- We fixed an issue that was occurring when trying to add non-active students to an account
- We fixed an issue that was causing file attachments in a teacher’s profile to attach more than once
Calendar & Attendance
- You can now choose to hide all student last names when printing from the calendar
- We fixed an issue that was causing a teacher’s availability to not display on the calendar correctly in certain conditions
- We fixed an issue that was interfering with the ability to change the length of time before a lesson that reminders are sent out
- We fixed an issue that was causing some deleted events to still display when performing a search
- We fixed an issue that was preventing events in certain locations and some icons not to display correctly when printing out the calendar
Families & Invoices
- Student time zones will now appear on invoices where the student and teacher time zones are different
- In case a manual charge is added sometime in the future, it’s now possible that families can have auto-invoicing re-enabled even with no active students
- We fixed an issue that was causing the « Emailed » tag not to show up under invoices correctly in accounts where there was an email address listed in the phone number field
General/Other
- After an update to our video player in Online Resources, the playback speed options were changed – we reset this feature so it now works similar to before and now also functions on mobile.
- Due to updates at PayPal, some accounts experienced issues with their payment records, but this was quickly restored and measures were taken to prevent this in the future
- All accounts now have access to the Integrations tab in their Business Settings, allowing the ability to integrate with certain external software such as Zapier
- Various cosmetic tweaks throughout
