Let's get better together! We're looking for you to suggest and vote on your most-requested features. With your help, we want to turn today's good product into next school year's great product!
Validation errors in caseload editor should be easier to understand
Right now, when typing in an invalid value into the caseload editor, a red error message appears, but it's not easily understandable by humans. Would be nice if the error messages were more intuitive.
I'm pleased to announce that this feature has been completed. Easily readable explanations have been added to the caseload editor that explain (in plain terms) the valid character sets for each field.
The red text will remain, as it is helpful for validation in other contexts. However, it is no longer required to stare at gibberish and somehow decipher what it means. :)
This change will roll out to the servers overnight.
Allow more than 3 buildings
The caseload configuration currently enforces a maximum of 3 buildings. It would be nice if an arbitrary number of buildings could be added.
I'm pleased to report that this has been implemented. You can now include an arbitrary number of buildings to your caseload. Please email us at help@slpscheduler.com if you have any problems or questions. Thanks for your patience!
Add "next" button to cycle sequentially through students
Right now, visiting each student sequentially requires manually selecting them, one at a time, from the list of students.
Would be nice if there were a "next" button of sorts.
Allow AM and PM preschool to be separated out without specifying multiple Student Rotations
Right now, the only feasible way to separate out AM and PM preschool is to specify multiple Student Rotations, which is overkill when the same days of the week are used.
Improve how the scheduler handles situations like this to avoid unnecessarily cascading multiple Student Rotations.
Add a new "Minimize Bonus Overtime" optimization preference
The whole "can optionally dismiss at" thing causes problems....not horrible problems but I'm curious if there's a parameter I can set as important that has to do with matching session lengths for kids...
Thanks so much!
Add ability to specify a "Prefer Not" availability entry for the therapist
Many times, a therapist is asked to keep certain blocks free. However, it may be negotiable depending on the size of a caseload.
This request is to add another element to the availability entry dropdown. Along with "Must Not", this would also add a new "Prefer Not" field.
Set default for service minutes to "rotation" instead of quarter
In my experience, most SLP's write their service minutes either weekly or monthly, not quarterly. It would have saved a lot of clicks if "rotation" was the default.
I'm pleased to announce that this feature request has been completed, and will roll out to the servers later today.
An overwhelming 74% of sessions in last year's caseload data used "Rotation". Only 10% used "Quarter".
Thanks for the tip!
Since SLP Scheduler is designed to run within a browser on any device, this feature is already provided by your browser. More information can be found here: How do I search within my caseload?
Hopefully, you'll need to do less searching to start with, with the implementation of the following feature: Simplify caseload entry when multiple students have same availability restrictions
View teacher schedules
As teachers change their schedules throughout the school year it would be nice to see what we already entered as their schedule. I received a new schedule from a teacher today but I don't know if her changes impact my scheduler without going into it and editing to view what I have entered for that teacher.
Add field to include comment/misc data on a per-student or per-session basis
A place to put an extension to call the student at for each session (might be different every time I call for them. Maybe they are in a different class for intervention, RSP, or period).
