More support has been added for student ages.  A calculated student age will show in the list of students on the account page at Manage > Accounts > Accounts.  The enrollments tab for a class at Manage > Classes > Classes will now show an average student age for the class as well.

Note: these updates only apply to customers who track student dates of birth.

If a customer who is logged in leaves the registration form to add a new student, all existing order values will now be saved.  Previously any custom field values would have to be re-entered in this case.

The existing feature that prevents customers from creating duplicate enrollments (at Website > Built-in Pages > Registration > Settings) has been enhanced to also prevent customers from scheduling two classes that occur at the same time.  Note that you must enable this featue if you wish to use it on your registration page.

A new Recital Overlap Report has been added.   This report allows you to select a set of recitals and show any students who appear in more than one of the recitals.  Students from the same family who appear in multiple recitals are also shown in the report.

The classes named layouts now supports up to three different filters (for example, customers can filter classes by class type, location, teacher, etc.).  Go to Website > Settings > Named Layouts to add additional filters to your class layouts.

A new  Recital Class Summary Report  has been added.  This report shows a list of current classes with any related recital performances shown beneath each class.  The intent of this report is to help users make sure that each class has been accounted for in the current set of recitals.

The behavior for the make-up and demo reminders has been updated.  Previously, when this feature was activated, it would only affect any make-ups and demos that were scheduled in the future.  Now it will also affect any pending make-ups and demos.  The reverse is true as well -- if you disable this feature it will cancel any reminders for pending make-ups and demos.

We continue to add updates to our support for mobile devices for the back-end website.  Most noteably, the appointment calendar page now has full support for mobile devices.

You can now publish your user emails to your website.  There are two ways to do this:

1) you can copy the link that displays on Publish tab of your user emails.

You can add that link to a page or to your menu at Website > Site Options > Custom Menu.

2) you can add the new Newsletters page to your menu.  This page will list any user email that has " Publish to newsletters page" checked off on its Publish tab.  

There are some optional settings on the "Publish" tab for when the email should start and stop showing on the page.

The Newsletters page is now available in your Built-in Pages if you would like to add any content to the top of it.  

The captions and titles for the make-up and demo schedulers have been updated to not use the terms "make-up" and "demo" explicitly.  This was done to assist customers who use different terms for these things and/or for customers how use these features for other purposes.   All messages and other onscreen text will only refer to the make-up or demo in general terms.  

For example, if you prefer the term "sampler" to "demo", you can update the page title and page content for the demo scheduler at Website > Built-in Pages > Demo Scheduler and the email notification titles at Communications > Settings > Notification Templates.  Then your customers will only see the term "sampler" in the user interface and emails.

When a customer accesses an HTML field in a user query (for example, a class description), we will now remove all of the HTML "tags" from the data returned by the query.

For example, instead of something like:  "<p>This class is <b>excellent</b> for young students</p>" the query will now just return "This class is excellent for young students."

A new popup summary has been added for appointments.  From the calendar view, you can click on an appointment and select the "View Summary" option to see the appointment details and notes in a popup window.

You can now send your customers email confirmations of their scheduled appointments.  You can send out confirmations for single appointments from Manage > Appointments > Appointments.  You can also send out a confirmation for a series of appontments from Manage > Appointments > Recurring Appointments.  In the case of a recurring appointment the notfication will include information on the first appointment in the series and the number or duration of the appointment series.  In either case, any appointment or recurring appointment will be marked as "Confirmation Sent" once a confirmation is sent for it.
