editing a repeating event---which option to select? a change in wording only
Would you consider re-wording the options when editing one event in a series? (no change to how it works, just change to wording)
"all following" could be change to "this and all following" which would, in my opinion, more accurately describe what it does.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion. We will review and see. :-)

Miss-Clicks deleting classes
We have had several classes deleted in error, and not picked up on untill a teaches says their pay is short.
When you click on a class in the calendar a dialogue box opens, At the bottom of the box are: EDIT, DELETE, CANCEL EVENT, [SPACE] to lower the instances of "miss-clicks" it would be helpful to reorder as EDIT, [SPACE] CANCEL EVENT, DELETE

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.

Please consider linking "Closure Dates" to "Locations"
I have multiple locations and they all have differing vacation schedules... This poses a problem when I set the closure dates and then try and add lessons in these weeks for other locations. There aren't any decent work-arounds currently, besides deleting the closure dates, which would impact everything else.
I hope you do consider this please!
Thank you!

Show Teacher availability by the week
In order to let students know when teachers are available to teach lessons during the week, it would be easier to visually see the teachers' availability for the full week on one screen.
It could be a feature that must have only one teacher's schedule up at one time, but that would at least lead to a better way of communication for students. This also allows for a more clear representation to decide on make-up times.
1 voteI’ll put this up for review. However, it is not feasible to have only one teacher up on the calendar at one. If you need that you can use the filters to the right hand side and unselect all teachers and then just select one and update. The teacher availability is under review but the one schedule at a time up is not.

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 ability to add multiple packages in calendar event
It would be useful to be able to create multiple packages in the one calendar event with a particular student. In this case as a mobile tutor we need to add on a travel fee per student

Event invitations - YES/NO/MAYBE answers
Hi, just like in other calendars, for example Google, I think it's very important to add "yes/now/maybe" answer to an event invitation. That way the teacher and school both know if the invitation was delivered to the student.

Add more colors on Events so can color code Teachers & Events

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…

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

2 way sync between studio helper and google calandar and/or iPhone.
This is important because I would like to make quick changes from my iphone when I'm not near a computer, and have my personal schedule update to studio helper so I don't get scheduled for lessons when I'm unavailable.

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!

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…
