We have released two new (and highly-requested) features today: printing lists of students and sorting by last name.

Update #1: Printing Lists for Offline Use

If you look at bottom of your students list, you’ll see a “print” link.

This takes you to a preview screen where you can print the list.  To print, click on “file”, then “print” in your browser software (Internet Explorer or Firefox).  It’s formatted for most standard 8.5″ x 11″ printers.  The nice thing about this print feature is that whatever list you pull up (ex. past-due students, all students, tagged students, whatever) will be printed as you see on the screen.

It’s a simple update, but an important one because you’re not always in front of your computer!   Check it out.

Update #2: Sorting By Last Name, Not Belt Rank

After many requests and a consensus from a majority of users, we have changed the default sort order for your Students list. Right now, it sorts based on rank code. That means it groups all your ranks together. Blue belts are grouped with blue belts in the list and brown belts with brown belts. However, many users are confused by this – and some users don’t use rank codes at all.

This has changed. Now the default sort order is by last name.

This is true of all lists: active students, inactive students, searches of students and tagged students. The only exception is the birthday list. That’s sorted by the date of the birthday.

We believe this approach is more logical and intuitive. And if you want to see your students grouped any particular way, all you have to do is tag them and hit that button in the sidebar.

If you have any questions about this, post a question in the support area when you’re logged into the application. Thanks!
