Per-Service Options for Waiting Line and Appointments

As requested by our users, we have added new per-service options in Accudemia.

The first of the options allows you to keep a waiting line in the center only for certain services. For example, if you offer tutoring but also let students study by themselves, you might want to have a waiting line for those who require a tutor to be available. However those who are going to study without help can sign-in without delay.

The second addition is the option to hide a service from the suggestions when creating a new appointment. Some services might not be available for appointments and now you can simplify the new appointment screen by hiding them.

To edit those options, go to your center details under Centers & Classrooms and click on the Services tab:

Then, when you add or edit a service, you'll see both options available:

If you haven't migrated to Accudemia 7.0 yet, you won't see the "Hide suggestions from new appointment screen" option, since that only applies to the latest Accudemia version.

Both options will be unchecked by default, which means all students will be sent to the waiting line regardless of what service they select (if enabled in that center), and all services will be suggested when you create a new appointment.

Please note that hiding the service suggestion will only hide it, which means that users using other screens (such as the Manual/Admin mode) will still be able to create appointments for that service.

Also, don't forget to check other updates we have been adding in the full changelog.

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
