  1. Automated Email- Deleted Entry/Enrollment

    Automated Email- Deleted Entry/Enrollment- not when the student gets deleted from the entity, but when their entry/enrollment would get deleted (ex: student that has been attending with us for the last few years and was enrolled to join us this year, but ended up NOT attending- so they wouldn't get deleted from the entity, but their entry/enrollment would get deleted since they are not actually attending)

  2. Allow Entity Counts to separate Service Enrollments

    We have students that are enrolled with us as a Service Enrollment with another district as their Primary Enrollment. We would like to be able to see them separated in Entity Counts.

  4. A section to add records request sent and records received.

    A spot to add a date when a records request was sent and when records were received and a spot to date when student records were sent out to the newly attending school. Possibly under the entry/withdrawal tab.

  6. Do Not Report to Ed-Fi - Enrollment Record

    We need a "Do Not Report to Ed-Fi" box on the E/W entry page so certain entity enrollments can be ignored for the Ed-Fi sync.

    Situation: we have an entity that is our alternative school. We enroll students from our distirct as well as neighboring districts. We need to report the students from the other districts for attendance purposes, so we gave the entity our HS DOE number. This causes issues when our students enroll or withdraw from this entity. Quite a few of our students are only taking a class or two, so they are enrolled in both our…

  7. Enrollment Report - Default Entity Option

    I love the Enrollment Report (WS\OF\AT\RE\AR\ER). I use it often and it is a helpful doublecheck for our WI membership reporting.

    This report would be even better if we had the option to only include students in their default entity. Sometimes I only want the students that have a particular default entity and sometimes I want to know all of the students in the entity.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  8. Ability to have individual custom forms emailed to a specific person once the form is completed in NSOE or back to school packet

    Ability to have individual custom forms emailed to a specific person once the form it completed in NSOE or back to school packet. As of now I think it can only be done when it is put out to families as separate form.

  11. Add a No Show Automated Email

    Indiana Districts are required to report one-day mobility. The easiest way to create this enrollment/withdrawal record is to use the No Show tool. This ensures that staff are following the directive setup by the district with the No Show option to ensure a withdrawal date and schedule adjustment is processed correctly every time. This part of the puzzle is perfect. The enrollment records that are created with the No Show will not trigger an automated email. They are not processed as a withdrawal. In order to accurately, and easily communicate when a student is "no showed" we need an additional…

  13. Mass Delete Pseudo Approval in Family Access

  14. allow overlapping enrollments

    In certain scenarios, it would be useful to be able to set certain Withdrawal codes to be able to allow overlapping enrollments. For example, if an enrollment was created and submitted to our State Reporting authority in error, we may need to retain a record of that erroneous enrollment, but would need to overlap a new, corrected enrollment.

  16. Entity Counts to not include students that don't really attend

    It would be nice to have the entity counts exclude or show a breakout of students that are not really in attendance, such as students enrolled for services only. Thank you!

  17. Web Login ability to Online Enrollment Users

    For NSOE, it would be helpful if an admin was able to Web Login to the Online Enrollment Users accounts so we can assist remotely with application issues.

    Currently, I cut and paste email and password info in to a new login in screen to log in as them to help them with steps in the process.

  19. 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

  20. Allow the order of NSOE step to be changed

    We would like to be able to change the order of the steps in NSOE. For instance, we want to have parents fill out step 6 (custom forms) before adding requested documents (step 5).
