Moving to a more reliable place

We are pleased to announce that Accudemia will be moving to the Amazon cloud. The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offers a highly reliable, flexible, and secure environment. The service runs within Amazon’s proven network infrastructure and datacenters. The Amazon EC2 Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.95% availability! This move will provide Accudemia users with more reliable service.

To assure minimal disruption to Accudemia users, we plan to move Accudemia during the Christmas break (December 17 to 31). Sometime during this period, Accudemia will go down while we make the switch. When it comes back, Accudemia will be running on Amazon. All data will be moved as well and users will be able to continue where they left off. Since this move is occurring during the holiday, we expect that most users will not even notice it.

We are looking forward to providing you with even better service in 2012.

Did you know? You can create groups from filtered reports

On reports: when you create and filter a report it "automatically" creates a User Group. After creating a report that you need, where you have filtered all of the students with " MATH "(Subject Areas), selected only the " Freshman "(Student Demographic) who have visited the center for " Tutoring "(Service Type) more than 3 times on a Visitor History report you decide you want to save that group and call them " Freshman needing Math Help ." You can do this after you run that report by visiting the User Accounts > Groups section on the left-side navigation panel. Once there simply click on the Report Generated Groups tab, then click on the report you just ran, and click edit . At this point you can name the group and hit save changes and the group will now be available for you to use as a group filter in future reports.

Sign-In and Appointment Restrictions

We are excited to announce that we are introducing 2 new features today. When the students sign-in or create an appointment, now you can limit what courses and staff members to display. There are 2 types of restrictions available that you can use: The first one is the Student-Staff Member Association . This lets you assign specific staff member to specific students, so you can decide who works with who. The second one is the Service-Subject Area Association . That means that only certain courses will be displayed when a service is selected. For example, certain services like Tutoring might require all the student courses to be displayed, while a Self Study service might require the students to select a different kind of activity only for tracking purposes. The restrictions can be found under Administration > Restrictions in Accudemia 7.0. Once there, select the restriction type you want to edit. Then, 1) Select the Center you want to apply the restriction to. 2) Cli
