Create a self-scheduling option
At the beginning of every year, fitting students into a workable schedule is a nightmare. I currently use pick-a-time.com to show parents the available lesson slots and allow them to choose their preferred time. Would love to see something like this built into Studio Helper.

Show locations in Agenda view
The view of the calendar is fairly limiting. It would be wonderful if the locations could be included with the Agenda view (or to create a Report that lists time, room, student and teacher) - it's helpful to our receptionist (who doesn't have a computer/internet) to see the room number that the student/teacher will be in at their appointed time. You can then select agenda and it will give you info for that day.
1 voteThe student schedule report has event, time, location, teacher, date and category. Please run that report.

Calendar Syncing with Google Cal etc.
It would be such a great feature to have the option for each teacher to sync their teaching calendar with Google Calendars (or iCal, etc.) so that they have their calendar locally, updated live.
1 voteYou can already do this. When in the calendar view on the far right above the mini calendar is a sync. Use that and you can synch your calendar to google.

parents & students to calendar view should see all events only from his teacher
Now we have given access to students & parents to view All calendar events. There are only 2 options: all events or only their own events. But problem for the first option is: they can then view all other teachers' events. Which can be confusing and not productive. Can the student only be able to view his teacher's availability schedule but without the names of other students on his calendar?
1 voteIn order to see availability of a teacher, you can create enrollment forms which will show open classes for that particular teacher to the students so they can see available classes and not other students in the list. If a student is in a group class, they will see the other students in the class when viewing the event on the calendar. We are also working on an upgrade of the calendar so it will be different in the future.

Make edited events save faster
When we edit the title of events (ours have room numbers so our staff knows where to be), it is taking extreme amounts of time to save... 5+ minutes usually. Ridiculous.
1 voteThis usually happens if you have repeat events for over a year. We recommend only saving repeating events for up to one year only. You also probably need to clear your cache and cookies from your browser. Please correct both of these and you will see that saving is faster. If you continue to have problems please contact support@studiohelper.com as this is not a feature to vote on in this area.

enable a way to cancel all lessons for specific day
To make an option which allows you to cancel all lessons for a specific day. It is very tedious and time consuming to cancel 60 lessons for a holiday or school closure.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion but I am going to decline it because we do have that feature now. There is a red x at the header of each day that you click to cancel all on that specific date.

Assign Individual Teachers Different Colors in Calendar
Would it be possible to allow multiple teachers to have different colors or shades in the calendar? It can be very difficult to se whose student is whose on a day when we have multiple teachers teaching at the same time. Assigning individual teachers their own color would enable administrators to more easily see gaps and schedule new students. Thanks!
1 voteYou can already do this by assigning the teacher name to the category list. Choose category, enter new category as the teacher name and choose a color. The next time you enter an event or edit an event choose the category of the teacher name and it will show that color on the calendar.

allow editing the color on events after they have already been made.
When creating events, you are given the option of color coding but after it is created and you go in to edit the event, color option is no longer available. This is inconvenient and illogical not to have. Please consider.
1 voteYou can change the color of the category and/or the location. Go to the calendar tab and down to category or location and edit from there. If you can’t see the color tab and not able to change the colors you just need to clear your cache and cookies from your browser.

You can modify the attendance afterward by clicking the event from the calendar, and editing it.
For an attendance report, you can view or print the lessons taught report. It is filterable by teacher, date range and by student. You can also click to view notes and lesson cost. At the bottom for each teacher is the number of hours for attended classes, the cost of the lesson and hours of cancelled lessons. This report is exportable to your computer. It also shows which classes were attended, absent or cancelled

Set up "daily" recurring events for only Monday-Friday
I do several summer classes that meet on a daily basis....but only Monday thru Friday. As far as I can tell, there is no option to make a class repeat daily, but not include Saturday and Sunday. It would be helpful to be able to do this, so that this large block class is not indicating that our only large room is already in use on Saturdays during those weeks.
1 voteThe option to repeat on specific days of the week is found in the “weekly” repeat option. Choose “weekly”, then put a checkmark in the days you want the event created (ie. Mon-Fri). If you choose the “daily” repeat option, it implies every day.

Substitute Teacher (& Package?) Option
Right now students are attached to a single teacher and package. It would be very useful to be able to Sub another teacher in place of the student's current teacher or a different package in the place of their default package.
When a teacher is sick or out of town it's a major hassle to have to either switch the student's over to another teacher and reattach packages and then permanently leave them this way so as to not mess up past invoices. Perhaps this could come in the form of a one time modification on the calendar that allows…
