Scheduling

Scheduling (in combination with ‘My Saved Lists’ within Staff Kiosk) allows you to automate the generation and delivery of reports directly to your email at nominated times. This saves time of having to run reports manually and is available for the following key reports:

• Pastoral Care Entries

• Student Absences

• Class Lists

• Student Notes

• Student Details

A new concept also introduced is ‘relative dates’. This means reports can be configured to generate for a time period that is relative to the current date (such as last week, this week or yesterday etc.) this provides the ability to provide timely digests of activities that have occurred in the past or occurring in the future directly to your mailbox.
