Hey Everyone! We’ve made some BIG changes to the Student/Parent Portal homepage! Everything the students and parents need to know is available at a glance now.  Here’s everything that your students/parents will see from the new homepage:

• Next scheduled lesson
• Hours practiced this week
• Attendance within the last 90 days
• Last invoice (Parents ONLY)
• Latest Studio News
• Recent Notes
• Assigned Repertoire
• Weekly Practice Graph
• Make-Up Slots Available (if make up credits are used)
• New Downloads
• Borrowed Items

Remember: You can use the « View As » feature in one of your student accounts to take a peek at the new Student homepage!

Other changes this week:

• Added « Click here to pay » placeholder to the Automatic Payment Failed and Bank Transfer Failed email templates.
• If a student cancels their attendance through the student portal AFTER the cancellation deadline, and the lesson is set to Make-Up Credit Required, their attendance will automatically change to « Absent, Use Make-Up Credit » (instead of « Absent, No Make-Up »).
• When editing a page or email and you scroll down, the toolbar should now stick to the top of the page.
• We fixed an issue with the new invoice look that would prevent the first student subtotal from showing (if your invoices used the « Group By Student » option).
• We fixed an issues with the Families & Invoices page that was causing the Balance to not update immediately after adding a transaction.
• We made a minor change to the « CC me » option when you send an email: If there is only one recipient specified for the email, the teacher is now sent an actual BCC. If multiple recipients are specified, you’ll get a copy of the email instead (so you don’t end up with dozens of copies of the same email).

Did you know? We’ve updated the look of the notification « Bell » icon to make it more obvious when you have a new notification waiting.
