merge class sets into one registration when they happen at the same time for the same teacher

I could not find if this was already an idea submitted, so here we go: We have teachers who teach different levels of a class at the same time, therefore students are placed in different class sets, example: IB Biology HL 1 and IB Biology SL 1. Wh...

Hide custom fields

It will be useful to simply hide a custom field instead of having to delete it. I assume by hiding we'll be able to maintain the historical data and also reactivate it if the need arises.

Letter Wizard option to publish to Parent Portal as PDF and ready for download instead printing them

Adding this option will save cost on printing letters to parents, which is ideal currently to have a paperless transaction, communication or notification apart from traditional email.

Photo / image stored against each student contact (optional)

We should be able to upload a photo against each contact in the same way that we can against staff and students. These should be available via the API and other reports.

Search all staff by department

I've just discovered that in the HR Manager you can't search on DEPARTMENT. This is yet another absolutely VITAL search function that must be needed by a lot of schools and should be a simple fix to add this field to the Custom Search Screen. Ther...

Mail Merge and schedule emails.

Family Tree 2 Dads or 2 Mums

We have more situations where students have two parents of the same sex. Currently the only function within the Student Manager/Contacts and Family Tree is to have a mother and a father. It would be excellent if this could be made changeable to se...

ISAMS Out Of School - By Period

The current OOS process uses a time scale e.g. 9am to 1pm, I think it should be possible to have the choice to choose between a timescale or on a Period based scaled e.g. P1 OOS. Similar to the choice in cover manager. This will help with slight o...
