  1. Inactive Families Enrolling into NSOE get stuck

    We have had several situations where a former (inactive) family wants to re-enroll, and since they don't have any active students they can't get into a family access account. But they also can't request an account through the new student portal because they already have an email in the system. They are stuck in a catch-22.

    We go in to delete the email address from their account so they can do the account request, and some schools activate the student for a short time to allow the family into their old Family Access. Either way, it causes the family to…

    Good afternoon.

    I have been working with my programmer on this issue.  He has gone into the code and this is how the code is set up:


    If an existing Family Access login has Allow Family Access still checked they should be able to log on directly to NSOE (don’t need a new separate NSOE account) if they know their login/password. The login area just needs to be set to Enrollment Access.

    If you want to mass change that status there is a utility to mass remove Family Access to guardians without Active Students.  It can be found at this menu path from the 000 entity:  WS\FA\FM\PS\UT\WA

    If you uncheck/remove the Allow Family Access, so that they can request a new NSOE account, that will be a separate account. The registrar will need to match them to the existing guardian in the system if they want to use that guardian

  2. Report Building Clone

    It would be great if you could build a report in one entity and then clone it into another one without building the report in each entity.

    Due to framework limitations this cannot be completed for all reports in the system; however, if you have specific reports that you feel cloning capabilities would greatly impact your district, please list those reports so that we can explore them on an individual basis! 

  3. Add special programs View to student browse

    Would like to be able to view special program data in student browse. This would be a great tool for creating reports and processing list for all areas under special programs. It would also be great to be able to create filters to share with administrators and counselors to quickly access student program data and create charts to view trends and access the data.

    Are you looking for a browse that has a column for every special program and Y/N if they have a current record?  

    Or are you looking for something more robust that includes all the data fields in each record?  

    Please provide us with more details of what you specifically are looking for so we can determine if it is possible. 

  4. Method of Instruction Report For Teachers

    Teachers need to be able to print a report that displays a student's Method of Instruction. Maybe just add Method of Instruction on the Class Roster report?

  5. Add Advisor Name

    Would like the advisor name added to this report. We mail this report home and freshmen students do not always know who their advisor is.
    Freshmen need to know who their advisor is before the start of the school year.
