Call Order for Communication

Parents/Caregivers can now be assigned a 'Call Order' in the 'Addresses and Comm Rules' tab in a student's record.
The Call Order information is a visual prompt on the order in which Parent/Caregivers should be called, and displays after a Parent/Caregiver's name in Staff Kiosk in the following places:

  • Student Profile > Parent/Address Details

  • Listings > Student Medical lists where 'Include Address Details' is selected.

Note that Communication Rules do not apply to Call Order, as those rules relate to system based Email, SMS and Notification type communications.
