  2. Student Lead Lesson Swaps

    We have a local competitor who only teaches one instrument and gives all the contact info of all her students out to her students so that if they can't make it to their lesson one week, they can put out a request that someone swap their time with them. A great idea that probably saves her a great deal of lost income and while I'm sure in one sense the parents are thrilled about it, some folks must not like the lack of privacy. I think this is a tremendous opportunity for StudioHelper. Ideally it would look like this: on…

  3. Teachers need to be able to see each other's contact info. That way they don't have to contact the administrator!!

    If teachers who share a client for different services need to change their student's schedule, they must be able to see what other teachers their student is linked to, and be able to contact that teacher.

  4. Customize Language

    I run a music school in Norway. For me(and other non-english music school owners) it would be great if we were able to translate certain things to other languages. I'm especially thinking of Invoices and other situations where messages are sent out to students and parents (I know email templates can be customized).

    Also, in the remote registration form I can customize the labels, but not the intro text. Would be great if I could translate that to norwegian as well

    Thanks for posting this feature request. We do plan to make Studio Helper available in multiple languages, and will be working more toward this goal in the months ahead.

    For now, a workaround that you can do which has worked for other multilingual studios is to use Google Chrome web browser to open Studio Helper. Google Chrome has a language translator plugin that you can install to convert English website content into Norwegian or any other major language. Here’s the link where you can download the Google Translate Plugin for Google Chrome – https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb. To download Google Chrome web browser, please go to this link – http://www.google.com/chrome.

    For the invoices and other files, you may need to use a separate document translator.

  5. Ability to integrate fully with authorize.net

    I use authorize.net for other parts of my business, and one requirement of mine is that we have a card code. Since we rely heavily on students paying their invoices online, can you please add a form part for the 3 or 4 digit card code so that students may pay via the invoice?

    Currently because my authorize.net requirement is the card number, date of expiration, and card code, I cannot accept payments through the invoice and the error reads "card code required".

  6. 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.

  7. Allow Coloring By Location

    It would be great for a lessons studio if we were allowed to color-code based on location rather than or as well as category. As a studio, color coding by location would be easier because then the category could be the instrument, whereas now we just list category and location as the same thing (room #).

    i.e. Room 1 = Red and then Category = guitar (or piano, or voice)

    I don’t think this will be considered since Event Categories are already color-coded. It would be confusing to give another color for the same event if it already has an event category. I would suggest that you use the event category to classify your events per location to take advantage of the color-coding feature. You can find it at https://studiohelper.com/calendar/event_categories

  8. Would like a report to search former students by instrument

    So that you can focus on getting more students back for a certain instrument - for example if our drum teacher doesn't have enough students or needs more students to open-up a certain day - we can try to contact those former ones and try to get them to come back

  9. add a "seasonal" or "short term" to the status

    hello, just want to start by saying, I LOVE Studio helper, i am still on the trial but i am definitely buying it this week. it's exactly what i've been looking for for a couple of years. it's worth the research i put into finding something :-)

    so, our studio runs during the year only, we take july and august off. However, we have a couple of students who come from out of town to do lessons in the summers only, so i make that exception for them. just wondering, would there be a chance we can have an addition…

  10. Negative # on Invoices

    NEED to be able to enter a negative number on invoices, for credits etc. Surely this is not hard to do. Your invoicing needs to be able to do what typical invoicing software can do. How about % feature for discounts etc.
    Thanks!

  11. add a payment report showing payments per package.

    (This idea is submitted on behalf of a Studio Helper active user)

    I want to be able to generate a payment report within a time period that indicates the payments according to packages? My teachers are all paid a percentage of the tuition that is paid for lessons with them. Therefore, I need some way to show who paid what toward each type of teacher package.

  13. Chronological Order for Automatic Billing From Calendar

    Put dates in order on the invoice

    When I do an invoice using the "Enable Automatic Billing From Calendar" --
    the dates are all over the place. It would be helpful to me and to the
    parents if the dates were in chronological order.

    Thanks!

  14. Have Elavon Support

    There is an online merchant service called Elavon, which is very similar to authorize.net. It would be nice to have that available in Studio Helper.

    For programmers: see the following link for how to do this: https://www.internetsecure.com/Elavon/ShowPage.asp?page=SCAN&q=7

  15. 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.

    The 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.

  16. REVENUE PER Location

    For anyone with more than one studio (like me), it is very important to be able to see how much revenue is being located at each location

  17. Have an area in invoice for us to permanently have payment options.

    I often forget to cut and paste bank details in every invoice and would love to have those details be permanent

    We already have this feature in place. Just edit the Invoice Email template and go to People > Email Templates > System Templates and click Customize Invoice. From there, you can add your bank details so that it will always be included in future invoice notifications that you will send out.

  18. Allow for events to occur over multiple days

    I.E. Add an option to have an appointment start at 11pm on the 1st and end at 2am on the second. This Causes a lot of duplicate work on our end because we run a recording studio which operates 24hrs a day.

  20. allow student to register for a single event in a series of recurring events

    MTH has this capability so I'm hoping this is an easy addition to SH.

    In MTH, you can set up a recurring appointment and identify it as an open lesson time. There is an icon of an open book for open times and a closed book when the lesson slot is full. This makes it easy for the next student to see if that lesson time is still available.

    This functionality would be saving me endless headaches over the summer. With all the student vacations it's a real pain for me to manually enter all the dates.

    MTH allowed me…
