June Updates

 A nice time saving addition was added to Edge/Edge Mobile app last week. Schools can  now have caregivers send in an absence notification about their child, to the school, via the Edge Mobile app.

This is configured at the bottom of the Admin>Setup>School Settings page.

Schools can edit the text that caregivers would see on the app and can include the school phone number so the school can be phoned directly. If the school have the option to receive messages by text the 'Allow text message' box can be ticked.

When caregivers send an absence notification it is saved directly into Edge Attendance along with a suitable note that lets the school know that it was received from the caregiver app.

NB. the message is sent by data not as a text.

What the caregiver sees:

A now Family Roll list has also been added on the People>Student Lists page. This prints out the contact details for all students, grouped by family.
