Managing popular classes

  • Post current class enrollment and space available to manage parent expectations and planning
  • Waitlists
    • When classes are full, parents are encouraged to sign up for the waitlist
    • Easily move people on and off the waitlist, or even transfer them to other classes
    • Since you can see relative demand for each class, you can act early to talk with instructors about increasing class sizes or offering additional classes

Keep it smooth and avoid mistakes

Mistakes happen and we all know it. In additional to our own internal consistency checks, we go out of our way to structure the system in a way that makes it self-evident when you’ve made a goof, so you can avoid it before goof becomes a real hassle. This is nice when you have one class, but critical when you’re dealing with a big program.

  • Robust “Audit” page that allows you to audit be exception and easily notice when individual details are entered incorrectly
  • Multiple views enables you to zero in on specific details
  • At-a-glace overviews
