Improve calendar navigation among recurring events
Provide method within the event screen to navigate to next and previous events among a recurring series of events. It could be just links that say "next | previous" or something similar.
It would also be helpful to have a direct link to the teacher and student profile pages from within the event screen.

Create a quick way to see that Studio/ Location/ Teacher is unavailable on calendar without seeing event details
We want everyone, regardless of permissions, to be able to see that certain times are BOOKED on the calendar when they log in! These times should include studio-wide Blackout days (holidays, etc), when locations are full, or when teachers are booked. This would be SO helpful for parents and teachers trying to schedule makeup lessons!! Could be as simple as a color change and would be an easy expansion of your already in-development Calendar Blackout option.

Print Daily Schedule by Room
I would like to be able to print a report that shows the schedule for each room so that I can post each room's schedule for the day on the door of that particular room. Sometimes I need to shuffle rooms due to schedule changes or other activities at the church. If the schedule were posted each day, the teachers would know how long they have the room and when and would not have to interrupt a lesson in progress to inquire about room availability.

Add other repeating options
It would be great to be able to set the calendar to repeat an event on designated weeks such as on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Currently there are only repeating options in week blocks; if you have a program that happens on the 2nd and 4th weeks, any month with 5 Tuesdays throws this whole cycle off. Vote for this and I'll give you a cookie.
23 votesI hear you. As soon as this gets enough votes, the programmers will work on it. So keep voting!!

Split an invoice to bill more than one person/party
The following scenarios require splitting an invoice and sending to two different persons/parties:
1) If a student's parents are divorced or separated, but share the cost of lessons
2) If a student or class is partially funded by a third party. For example: We teach a music class to one of the Children's programs, which pays half of the tuition. The other half is paid through an endowment fund. Both entities need to be invoiced each month.2 votes -
Accept ACH payments and automatically bill for accrued charges on student accounts from the "auto billing from calendar" feature.
It would be great if there was a way to accrue charges on student accounts for individual lessons from the calendar, choosing a start and end date (i.e. one month), and then automatically charge credit cards and withdrawal funds from checking accounts through ACH payments. This would be a convenience for both the studio and the students!

Only show available teachers on calendar.
Right now, the calendar shows all teachers on all days. It should only show the teachers who have availability on that day so that you don't have to filter teachers every time you look at a different day.
10 votesGood News! We will be working on this.

Please add a detailed report for itemized sales tax collected.
Please add a detailed report for itemized sales tax. Lesson are not taxable, however music books, Tshirt etc are taxable. A report is needed that can be filterable by date (year/quarter), and will show all invoices that include taxable inventory. The ability to pull a report that has an itemized list of sales taxes paid is critical for accounting purposes. It needs to be filterable by date, amount, invoice number and includes a total so we don't have to go through a whole year of invoices just to look for tax amounts. Thank you!--Cynthia Vaughn, Magnolia Music Studio

Have the student's teacher show up in the drop-down "people" menu.
When students log in, the only "people" that they can see are their own family. It would be good if their teacher's name and email address would be in the drop-down menu - as well as the contact email for the studio.

Automatic Client/Teacher Tailored Schedules
The schedule of events that can be downloaded into excel should also have the student and teacher contact information as an option and our company contact information.

Point of Sale (POS)
Better Support for: Inventory, Sales, Bar code generator, Bar code scanner, Receipt printer, Cash Drawer. We are building a store to support our 130 + students and would rather be able to integrate student lesson payments with the store and visa versa. Could you provided a way to upload inventory from a spread sheet (csv file). 100 pieces of sheet music from one supplier will require me to hire some one just to input the data one at a time, No thanks!
13 votesThanks for sharing your requirements with us. We may consider including these feaatures in our next upgrade depending on how other users respond to your ideas.

Messages for teacher on 1st page that opens
on the first page that opens when a teacher logs in there should be a message center to tell the teacher any important things like messages, cancellations, changes to the schedule since their last login etc. like an internal messaging center for the staff and teacher to communicate with one another through the studio helper.

Export all INVOICE data as a CSV file
Please add the ability to export all INVOICE data as a CSV file. We are able to CSV export payment and expense data, but not invoices.
Whilst I'm not expecting StudioHelper to integrate seamlessly into every type of accounting system out there, the ability to do a simple text-based exports of invoices is vital, giving us the opportunity to link in to nearly all accounting packages, especially cloud-based systems such as XERO and SAASU.
20 votesGood News! We have moved this to the planning stage and will be working on the details for this.

Add the ability to Mouse-over an event/lesson in Calendar to view lesson notes, attendance, etc.
Add the ability to Mouse-over or Click on an event/lesson in Calendar to view lesson notes, attendance, etc. MTH has this option and its awesome! i.e To check what you did with a student the week before you can simply go to a previous date, click on the event, and the lesson notes, attendance, etc pops up.
20 votesGood News! We will be working on this, this year.

Managing Locations Availability
My studio is shared with another organization. The locations I use to teach in vary through out the week. I need to be able to edit the times allowed for each individual room. This would mean a room could only be scheduled if:
1) the room is available
and
2) the teacher is available
right now I can only manage global studio times and teachers times...i need to be able to manage location times as well

Packages to be Exportable
We have a lot of packages registered. Maintaining them within studiohelper has gotten very difficult. We are not able to compare what was previously there and what has been changed.
We need a functionality to export the packages out as excel or csv.4 votes -
Online Payment options AUS studios!
Is it possible to have another online payment system other then Paypal for Australian users? Low fees and minimal fuss without signing up to Paypal. This would be good to include to option for some studios who run events or hire out studios to have ability to pay at the door with POS app device's too. More efficient and clean.
7 votesGood news! We will be integrating Stripe as an additional option for you.

Add "Lead" as a new student category and create a customizable mailing list form so that we can capture leads from our website.
It would be good to know what the webform was attached to so we could place those leads in specific categories.
