Previously, after enrolling a new student, the office had to open the transport section separately to assign a bus stop. It was easy to forget, and the student would miss the next transport billing. This update brings transport into the enrolment form itself.
What is new
- Transport section in the enrolment form – choose whether the student uses school transport
- Stop selection – pick the stop; the route is identified automatically
- Fare preview – the stop's monthly fare is shown as soon as you choose it
- Optional special fare – enter a different amount for exceptions such as staff wards or concessions
- Start date – choose from when transport begins
- Works on edit too – change a student's stop or stop transport from the student edit screen
Why it helps
- One step instead of two – admission and transport are recorded together
- Fewer missed charges – every student who needs the bus is assigned from day one
- Clearer for parents – the office can tell parents the exact monthly transport fee during admission
How it connects with fees
Transport assignments made from the enrolment form are the same assignments used during monthly fee generation. As soon as a student is assigned, their stop fare (or special fare) is included automatically in the next monthly invoice, as long as Include transport is switched on.
How to use it
- Open the student enrolment form (or edit an existing student)
- In the transport section, switch on school transport
- Select the stop and check the fare shown
- Optionally enter a special fare
- Save the student
That is it. The student will appear in the route's student list and in the next transport billing.
