Create an Undo feature
I would love to have an Undo (Cmd Z) feature that would essentially UNDO the last thing done i.e. I've often changed an Event and hit Save and then noticed something about it wasn't done correctly and have to go through the entire process again - an Undo your last entry would be so helpful!

Allow Student Pictures in JPEG format
It would be really helpful to have the option to upload student pictures. Once the student database increases, it's really difficult to track if the students who paid the fees are the actual students who go inside the classes.
Thanks!9 votesWe will be working on this, this year.

Add more colors on Events so can color code Teachers & Events
We have a large studio and color code events (recitals, etc.) and all teachers. We need more than 24 colors.

Easily allow admins to be teachers
It would be nice to have a streamlined way to allow admins (me, a studio owner) to have one login for admin and teaching. Currently I have to have a different login and email. If it could be one login, and then we could switch the view upon entering the sight.
8 votesGood News! We will be working on this.

Make the 1/2hr times visible on the calendar(i.e. 3:30) Make them a bit darker across the calendar to distinguish them from the ":00" spots.
The Calendar would be easier to read if the 1/2 hr times were visible. So it read on the side 3, 330, 4, 430, etc. not just on the hour. It would also be great if on the 1/2hr times on the calendar they were a bit darker to distinguish them from the hr. times. Basically, it would make the Calendar easier to read if you added those times and darkened every other line. Thanks!

make the categories display in a set order
It would be great to see the categories display in a set order, rather than according to the date they are created. This would make it easier and faster to add events to the schedule. Is it possible to have them display alphabetically, or better yet to allow studios to customize their order? We could have all the piano teachers together, all the voice, etc. What do you think?
8 votesThat is a good idea actually! We will consider this for part of our upgrades.

Alphabetize all drop-down menus....especially the Package Drop-down when adding Registration
Currently, when I add a registration, I have to find the correct package type in the drop-down menu that is sorted by the order in which is was created. Is there any way you could make that drop-down alphabetized like the category drop-down, the instrument drop down, and teacher drop-down menus are?

Student Clash
In the calendar section I would like to be able to see when I register my students for a particular class whether there are any clashes i.e. the same student being registered for two or more events in the same time slot on the same day. At the moment this option is only available for scheduling teachers. There is a pop-up window, warning the user that a teacher is already registered to teach another class at this time. I think it would be very convenient if as well as for teachers a pop-up warning appeared when a student is being…

Have invoices track changed events, automatically update when the student schedule changes
If my client comes every tuesday, and we invoice them accordingly for, say, March, but then in the middle of the month they change their appointments to Wednesdays:
The tuition from the previous invoice isn't applied. E.G. Studio Helper will see the events as "new" and invoice for them. I'm not talking about deleting/starting another event. If I just change the event to permanently another day, studio helper sees it as a new thing. Shouldn't the program automatically update invoices when they are affected by event changes.

add a cash sale invoice so we can use it for studio's that have retail stores as also
for studio's that have retail stores as well need to have a cash sale invoice so the customer does not need to stand there while we input the 2 step process of creating an invoice then going in and paying for the invoice. In the cash sale you would enter the invoice and you would input how they pd cheque, cash or visa and then it would be marked pd all on the same page.

Support for Other Latin Characters
We have several students and a teacher that have characters with accents in their names (e.g. Léna). These characters don't show in e-mails or automated calendar reminders.
It would be great if the system could support alternate forms of characters (alt-text or Unicode).

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.

Option to choose default 'due by date' for manual invoices
When setting up invoicing have an option for due date to be calculated automatically '7 days from today' (or x days from today)
eg, today's date is 21/11/2014, so if my default due date were 'in 7 days' it would appear on the invoice as 28/11/2014
I believe this happens for recurring invoices, but it would be a huge time saver if it could be implemented on manual invoices too!
Thank you :)

Search suggestion
It would be nice to be able to search for people using phone number or address or something other than just their name.

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.

Future-Dated Payments & Reminders
We deal with many students who prefer to pay using a series of post-dated cheques.
We'd like to set up automated e-mail reminders to let them know that we will be depositing their payment. Currently, the only way I've found this is to do the following:
- Create / receive a payment with a future date
- Create a calendar event for the payment (involves creating a separate location and separate calendar type)
- Set up an automated e-mail reminder (which, unfortunately, goes to the student as well as the parent - no current workaround)
- Make the event last from 12:00 AM to…

A Real Time Calendar
Is there any way to have Studio Helper refresh the Calendar page in real time? For instance with "Google Docs" a document can be viewed by multiple users at the same time and adjusted by one user (or many) and everyone sees these "realtime adjustments" without refreshing the page or screen. This would certainly help our studio with 10+ rooms running concurrently sometimes and the summer schedule changes that occur daily and oftentimes hourly. This would definitely save our office manager time and my staff would always be "live."
With Google (for instance) all realtime adjustments made by the manager…

Registration page like in music teachers helper.
I love the web and registration page integrated in music teachers helper.
I'd like that here.6 votesYou can use the remote registration form feature that you will find in Settings > Remote Access. The website features are not yet available in Studio Helper but its already included in the client wish list for possible consideration.
