Family Billing and Statements
Enhancements to the family billing process:-
. Allow for family transactions to be held for more than a year
. Facilitate a change in the order of billing processing so that generation is done, statements printed and then end of period done so that each statement opening balance equals the previous statement’s closing balance. More schools are asking for statements to printed out like this. Main problem in currently setting this up is that the final statement is generally provided during fourth term so that the first statement of the following year needs to pick up last year’s transactions following the final statement being produced along with current year transactions.
. Create a Family statement for previous period as a standard format
. Alter the family transaction history display screen and report to only show current (or past) year transactions
. Include voluntary amounts in the annual family statement
. Add fee order field into fees table and use in family statement to order transactions as required.
. Create a subject levy list report as a standard report for checking at billing time.
Security Deposits
Create a report listing security deposits held against enrolled and current students - which is then used to validate against the GL account.
Batch reversal
It would be helpful if a GL financial batch could be reversed without having to create a standing journals batch. And at the financial end of year, it would be particularly useful to have a process that generates a batch of GL transactions reversing a given batch’s GLPREV transactions.
Enabling the running of a task multiple times simultaneously
Tasks traditionally update the database, therefore we are currently unable to run a task multiple times simultaneously.
It would be useful in cases where there is no updating of the database to be able to lift this restriction.
An example would be the printing of reports.
We have a couple of sites that run tasks to print all the relevant Academic Reports for each individual student.
The tasks print the cover sheet and then various outcome reports for one student and then the same for the next student and so on for a select roll group or year level (making manual collation of multiple reports unnecessary).
To workaround the current restriction we have to declare multiple copies of the task in the schema eg Print_Reports1, Print_Reports2 so that the workload of printing the reports for the entire school can be spread across a number of workstations effectively using the same task simultaneously. To obviate the need of having multiple copies of tasks in the schema, it would be good to have the ability to enable tasks to be run multiple times simulataneously.
Ability to attach PDF documents to student records
To have the ability to attach PDF documents to student records. For instance if a student is on a modified learning program this could be attached to their record/screen so information is easily accessable.
Inputting qualification results for VET in Maze
Hi, can you please improve the ability to flag qualifications as achieved on a whole class or at least in a grid / table of all students enrolled in that Qual type format. You can enter results for individual units of competency either by UOC or by all the UOC that a particular students is enrolled in, but then you also need to to enter if they have actually completed the entire qualification. Using Academic / VET / VET enrolements and quals / Student Quals you need to painstakingly search and call up each individual student, one at a time!!! I have over 250 students enrolled in VET courses - this process will take me hours. You have made every other part of the VET set up, enrolment and reporting functions so much easier and more efficient with this module and then not finished it off at the very end - VERY VERY annoying. Regards, Peter
Exam Timetable talking to Teacher absence program
It would be really helpful if the Exam Timetable talked with Teacher absence program. At the moment during an Exam Period (for example our Year 11 Exam period which runs over 6 days) if a teacher is absent and has an exam supervision the Absence program doesn’t pick this up. It would b great if it did as it would help make both the exam function and the Absence function considerably more user friendly.

Family Finances - fee projections report to include future students
I beleive family finances is going to include a report that projects future billing revenue based on current student enrolments.
Can this be extended to include future student numbers ? This is a popular customisation request from large schools .
