These updates may be from October, but don’t let them spook you! We’re banishing ghosts and providing makeovers & speed boosts to make your experience the best it can be! Check it out below!

Student Management

• We cut the clutter and now the “Email Selected Users” replaces the “New Email” button after selecting multiple tutors or students
• We stopped sign-up forms from failing when payment details are collected but no payment is collected
• When a student has three tutors and one is removed, that third tutor was hanging around the “View All” column. Three’s a crowd though so we made sure that’s fixed.
• Leaving the lesson duration blank when updating prices in bulk no longer causes an error
• When clicking “Save & Duplicate” on a group tag we now announce that a tag has been added

Tutors & Staff

• The process of adding a new tutor got a full makeover and now appears as a slide-in window instead of a new page
• We fixed the button that lets you add a new location while you’re adding tutor availability

Calendar & Attendance

• Google finally came through on fixing their calendar sync issue, which means our Google calendar sync is back to normal!
• After changing the amount of displayed events in calendar preferences, this stays updated and doesn’t get reset after refreshing
• ICS links weren’t getting along with Safari or Kukini, but we got them all talking again
• We added the ICS calendar link (to sync your calendar) to even more locations
• Editing locations was a struggle on 3G connections, but it’s in better shape now
• Several tags in the Group Select menu in an event’s Attendees field were being shy, but we’ve pulled them out of hiding

Families & Invoices

• Inactive families were causing issues with selecting groups to assign transactions to, but we banished those ghosts
• Speaking of ghosts, adding a bulk charge to each student in a family would also add a charge to the inactive students, but we banished those too!
• Partial payments were marking invoices as paid but we put an end to that
• The account balance updates much quicker now after adding a new transaction
• When adding a new charge and hitting “Save and Add Another” it will now keep the date the same so you don’t have to re-enter it

Online Resources

• Our online resources were having abandonment issues – If an assigned student became inactive it would act out when trying to add or remove new students
• The online resources would also act out when choosing to add them to a group tag without following through on selecting a group tag by sending itself to all students instead. Both of these issues have been fixed.
• When you edit an online resource from the search results list, editing a file won’t also clear the search results anymore

General/Other

• Speed boost to loading time was applied to multiple pages, including transactions, family info, categories, locations & more!
• Go ahead, change it up! There’s no more issues with updating your profile photo
• We clarified the wording on some of our warning messages
• When adding a payment method to PayPal, we now double check the details before submitting instead of after submitting. Zero clicks is better than 1 click!
• Adding an expense entry from a photo or PDF and then deleting the photo before saving was confusing the software, but we got it back on track
• Adding a revenue entry from a photo or PDF was also getting stuck, but we broke it out of the loop
• Trying to set a maximum gap between lessons that’s shorter than the minimum (buffer) gap? We now give you a heads up!
• Our new homework submission feature got a tune-up
• Various cosmetic tweaks throughout
