and this update roundup for May will tell you! 🎵
Check out our latest updates & fixes below:
Student Management:
- We fixed a bug where the “New Message” button on the Message History page after sending an email to a specific family would show the dropdown options to select the previously emailed family
- We fixed a cosmetic issue where scrolling down when previewing an email before it was sent would add some blank spacing at the top of the preview window
- We fixed a warning banner that wasn’t displaying the text correctly when updating student default prices in bulk
- We updated the search field for Teachers on the Students page from a dropdown (where you could only select one teacher) to a multi-select field so you can search by multiple teachers at once
- We updated the Existing Family dropdown field so when opened, it starts at the top of the list rather than scrolling to the very bottom
- After changing a student’s time zone, the page now automatically refreshes once saved so you can see the updated time zone right away
- We changed the type of field for Groups when adding a new student to make it consistent with the Groups field in other areas
- We added a banner on the New Message page to let you know if you’re trying to email a student or parent who doesn’t have an email address on file
- The Student Since column now shows the number of years/months, not just the date the student started
Calendar & Attendance
- We added a warning to let you know when a student has already reached the make-up limit as per your policies when you’re trying to issue them another one (you can still continue to override the policy)
- We added the Attachments column as an option on the Attendance & Notes page column picker
- We fixed an issue where taking attendance in bulk wouldn’t copy the lesson notes forward
- We updated the “Events left this week” counter so it doesn’t include any upcoming events already marked Absent
- We tweaked the attendance icons on the calendar view (the green checkmark or red X)to make it easier to see when using the bold theme
- You can now add a new piece of repertoire when taking group attendance if you don’t currently have any existing repertoire
- The following columns are now sortable on the Students page: Make-Up Credits, Default Price, Default Lesson Length
- Switching from Month or Week view to Timeline view now automatically refreshes to load the teachers or locations immediately
- We fixed an issue where a substitute teacher couldn’t view the student’s contact info
- We fixed an error that would appear when trying to take attendance for a student that was no longer set as Active or Lead
- We fixed an issue with the Repeat Until date selector where it wasn’t always loading correctly when editing an event
- We updated the date picker so you only need to select the month you want to print and not days (since it will always print just the full month anyways)
- We changed the Organize By option for the calendar Day view so it will remember your selection for the next time you log in
- We updated the Timeline view so once you delete an event it won’t automatically condense the subject options down the side
- We added the Download Permissions options when uploading a new Online Resource through the attendance page
- We made the background of the current day on the calendar a bit brighter for more contrast so it stands out more
- We made some updates to the calendar sync to improve performance and display data (like multiple sibling names for one event) better
Student Portal
- We fixed an issue where blog posts were displaying in the News section of the Student Portal
- We made the Date column always visible on the Attendance & Notes page instead of making it an optional column so families can always see which date the lesson was on
- We fixed an issue where upon login to the Student Portal, families were brought to the Home page even if the account’s settings were supposed to default to a different page
General/Other
- We fixed an issue that would return email notifications back to the default settings when upgrading to the new version
- We updated the table of information on the Mileage page to add optional columns, a sort button, and improve the mobile layout
- When editing a recurring charge, the Repeat Until date no longer resets
- When initially selecting a payment processor in your Business Settings, the convenience fee section no longer disappears

- When changing a teacher’s payroll settings for make-up credits, you’ll now be prompted to apply the change to the calendar
- We fixed an issue with selecting multiple files from your device to upload to Online Resources
- Swiping across tabs on touchscreen tablets & laptops now works correctly again
