Add logo to studio helper interface
It would be great to be able to add your company's logo to the interface of Studio Helper, instead of the plain text in the top left corner of the screen.

Family discount
It would be great to have a family discount option. A lot of Music Schools have discount rates when two or more people from the same family are students. Or if a person attends two or more different lessons/courses. So when you invoice, it automatically gives a discount based on your discount settings.
24 votesThis will be a new feature soon. For now you can always create a package for “Family Discount” and use a negative amount. When you invoice, add a line item, choose package and the family discount package. It will then adjust your invoice.

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!!

Availability Times in Quarter Hours
In the time drop down menus in teacher availability, there are options in 10 minute intervals. However, at my studio, we have many classes that run on the quarter hours. Could you add an option for 15 and 45 in there so that I can best line up teacher availability and class times?
23 votesI have reopened this but it will still have to garner enough votes to be considered

make it possible to enroll new students with a teacher directly from the calendar event page
When getting new students set up, right now it is necessary to first enroll the student with their teacher from their student page (under People), and then they can be added to their lesson "event" (on the Calendar). It would save a lot of time and be more intuitive to be able to enroll the student directly from the event page of the lesson we've created for them, rather than having to do a two-step process for each student.

Create a way for students to "sign-in" for their lessons at a computer station.
I have a studio of 14 instructors and close to 100 students. It would be wonderful and time saving if there was a way for a student to "sign-in" for their lessons at a computer station. They could sign in (rather than signing in on a sign-in sheet) and the system could record the attendance automatically to our records and their accounts. Big idea, but could it be possible?? That would be amazing!

Track outstanding invoices based on the day the students have their lesson
It would be nice to see who has an outstanding balance based on the day they are on the calendar. For example. It's Tuesday and I want to make a list of outstanding invoices for people who are coming in JUST on Tuesday.

Mass Update Feature For Invoices
It would be nice to be able to update multiple invoices at once just as you can mass select and print invoices or mass delete. This would allow a studio to update all invoices at the end of a month and apply any credit to the next invocie (or see any lesson schedule changes) without having to manually go through each invoice.

Add the repertoire tracker to Studio Helper
Music Teachers Helper has a repertoire tracker that I and the teachers in my studio really like. It would be great to see the same repertoire tracker in Studio Helper.

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.

Improve customization of Registration form
Items like 'lesson length' or 'student age' should be able to be added as drop-down options. A text box isn't appropriate for all uses.
Also, a (checkbox) gift certificate option would be handy, to sell certificates without immediately scheduling the class.
A redirect to a custom landing page rather than just a 'success' message would allow better integration of marketing or billing features.

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 "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.

invoice list should show accounts with credit remaining
On the invoice list it would be great if it somehow showed accounts that have a credit remaining. That would be helpful when sending out invoices so I can apply the credit before sending the invoice.
11 votesThank you for your suggestion. We will review and see if we can do this. It does sound like a good idea.

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

Auto-Update "School, Grade" field
Right now, there is one field in the registration form called "School and Grade". Is it possible to make this into two fields, "School" and "Grade", and have the grade section automatically advance by one at the end of each August?
There is no way we can afford to pay a staff member to update the grades manually one by one each year, and if the field can't stay not up-to-date, it is useless.
10 votesThank you for the suggestion. We are working on upgrades for the end of the year and hopefully we can work on something for this for you.

Emergency Contact Details
Fields for Emergency Contact person (Name, Phone, Relationship to Student) would be nice. Having to add and find for these details in the notes section is not very efficient. Also, perhaps a field for Medical Concerns, Allergies, etc so that it would show up on a report or at least be easily accessible would be great.

Do not show "inactive " and "former" students in drop down menus in Reports
Sadly, the studio just does not have such a long list of students... So many inactive students just make the list cumbersome.
9 votesI’ll put this under review to see if it gets enough votes but we have this in case inactive or former teachers and students return so you don’t lose their information. You would want this information for your bookkeeping purposes.

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!
