Calendar Upgrades & More!

Calendar Upgrades & More!

This month we made some significant behind-the-scenes improvements to our calendar, including speeding things up, fixing some issues and improving quality of life! Check out some of these and other updates below:

Student Portal & Booking

  • On mobile, the Student Portal calendar now scrolls to display the date details when you tap a day
  • All-day events no longer display as options on the Book from Calendar form
  • Registration fees are now correctly displayed in the subtotal when adding additional students
  • We fixed an issue that was preventing substitute tutors from appearing on public booking forms when more than one category is filtered

Calendar & Attendance

  • We’ve made improvements to the calendar to improve loading times
  • Dragging an event in the calendar will adjust the time by 5 minute increments
  • Event pop-up messages on the calendar now properly display email and SMS reminder icons
  • Calendar syncing to Outlook now works as expected
  • Inactive students can no longer be searched for in the calendar
  • We updated the ability to swipe the calendar to be consistent between iOS and Android
  • We fixed an issue that was causing the mobile calendar to appear to start on a Wednesday
  • Events in Agenda View now scroll to their scheduled time when added or updated
  • Dragging an event that has an attached weekly hold timeslot to a day more than 7 days ago no longer automatically removes the hold
  • You can now use the enter key to select a student from the attendees list when creating a new calendar event
  • You can now copy the calendar feed URL directly from the options menu to facilitate calendar syncing
  • Creating new events in Day View now defaults to the date selected instead of today’s date
  • We fixed an error that was occurring when trying to move a recurring event too far into the future
  • When updating the details of an event in a series, the default selection is now to only update and consider the details of the current lesson and to prompt whether future events should be updated too
  • We fixed an issue where creating a Quick Add Lesson was using the tutor’s default category instead of the student
  • Lessons can no longer be dragged-and-dropped to a tutor that a student has an inactive billing profile with (and a warning will appear if attempted)
  • Fixed an error that was occurring when trying to create a new non-tutoring event
  • We improved the functionality of events with no tutors assigned, including removing the option to select Student Default as a pricing option, improving filters & displays, and fixing issues with saving an event

Tutors & Staff

  • A warning now appears when trying to add a new tutor or staff member with the same name/email as one that already exists
  • Tutors with “Edit Own Lessons” permission can now delete and/or clone entire days (as long as all the lessons in the day are theirs)
  • Tutors with the privilege to view (but not manage) other tutors can now filter the calendar by tutor

General/Other

  • We updated the Add Transactions menu so that families are now alphabetical, searchable, and load faster
  • Various cosmetic tweaks throughout
