September 2021

Welcome back to all our MySchool community. During the last few weeks the team have been working on improving the performance of the system. In between these improvements, they have also been working on a few other features, let's take a look at some of the improvements that have been implemented recently;

Mass edit

The mass edit tool has now been improved to include a mass action copy button when appropriate for the selected field. We will be making further improvements, and as always, we welcome your feedback in our ideas channel. 

The mass edit tool is a high level super user tool and should only be accessed by admin with full edit/view rights. If you need the page to be added to your system then contact our support team for assistance.

In the selected population (student or guardians), choose the first profile in the list, and amend the field entry as required. Use the copy icon at the end of the row, and a pop up will appear asking if you would like to apply this status to all the records listed.

Please note this feature is only available for certain fields where the answers given are a preset list. Most notably, account activation and consents. it will not be available on free text fields such as emails or addresses for example.

More improvements to quick reports

We are continuing to focus on quick reports as the principal tool for your data needs within the MySchool system. if you need us to add different data points from around the system, then please raise an idea and this will be added to the future road map for this tool. The latest addition is to be able to extract the locker comment from the others tab in a student profile. 

PSR for our BC clients

To help our BC community we have updated the PSR report template to accommodate for changes proposed by the local ministry. We will be creating a PSR help article in the coming weeks to explain how to set up your PSR report using subject specifications and primary assessment field.
