Feature Requests

Request to add a Middle Name column to the dashboard view so that staff can see and verify full child names at a glance without needing to open individual profiles. Current State The system allows entry of a Middle Name in the child’s profile. However, this field does not populate in the dashboard view. As a result, users only see the First and Last Name, which can cause confusion when multiple children have the same first and last names. Proposed Enhancement Add a Middle Name column option to the dashboard display settings. Ensure this field can be toggled on/off (like other columns) so programs can customize their view.

We would like to request a system enhancement that sets all children’s attendance status to “Absent” by default each day, until they are actively checked in by staff. Purpose/Use Case: This would help ensure more accurate attendance tracking by minimizing missed check-ins and providing a clear starting point for the day. It also aligns with licensing and reporting needs in some states, where absence tracking is required. Requested Functionality: At the start of each day, all children should be marked as "Absent" by default. Once a child is checked in, the system should automatically update their status from "Absent" to "Present" with a timestamp. Ideally, this default setting could be enabled or disabled at the program level, depending on preference.

We frequently need reminders to fire at regular intervals—like checking in on leads every few days or reminding staff that a lead has been stagnant in the same stage for too long. Right now there's no easy way to do this. If we want an action to fire every 3 days for a month we have to configure 10 delays and 10 "send email" actions. This also makes updates dicey since any change to the interval or email recipient requires editing all 10 instances individually. And that example is just for one lead stage—when running similar automations across multiple stages, it gets messy quickly. Request: A recurring action builder that lets us configure the action, interval, and end condition in one place. To prevent runaway processes, you could require an end date or offer options like "repeat 10 times" or "repeat for 60 days." To keep the implementation simpler, you could require that loops only appear as the final step in an automation, which feels like where they belong anyway. Bonus feature: Allow us to trigger a final action when the loop completes. For example, automatically moving a lead to an "Archive" stage if they've been stagnant for 30 days.

Our parents are struggling to know who to message for absences and other information that multiple teachers need to know (we also have rotating teachers working with children throughout the day). I would love to see a feature that allows parents to post on their own child's profile so that all teachers who have access to that student can see. Chats would then be for more private messages.

Our teachers do all of our sign-ins (no guardians sign-in) so they're annoyed that it takes multiple clicks to sign in a student. It would be great if the app could register the account that is clicking the "check-in" button so they only have to click once to check in and the app records that it was their account that checked them in.

Would like to be able to link directly to calendar events for emails or feed posts. For example, we'd like to say, don't forget to RSVP for event X by 8/25/25 and link directly to that calendar event.

It would be great if we got an alert when parent update their information or added a guardian so we could update printed emergency lists as required by our state.

active students should be the default instead of having to reset the filter every time

The ability to create a printable report, for individual children, with observations only. Currently, I can only create a report with 'activities' that includes the observation report with all other notes about child. It would be great to have the observation report only (linked to IELS) to share with parents at conference time, along with portfolio.
