Thinking About Fall Classes and Registration?

ClassJuggler has the Autumn schedule prep features you need!

Even though summer is not yet over, planning for the Fall now will put you ahead when customers are ready to enroll. Here's how ClassJuggler simplifies that:

• Copy Class & Mass Copy Class – These time-sving features can help you copy classes (using them as templates) to use for your new sessions. Copy classes individually or copy a large group of classes for a new session. See the tutorial video for details.
• Mass Status Change – Run at the end of a session, it converts all students who are not actively enrolled in a class to an inactive status to help you better manage your students over time. See our tutorial video.
• Customer Confirmation Statements – As you complete your Fall enrollment period, use this report to email or print confirmations showing each customer the new classes they have chosen for their family. This is a great way to get corrections and changes from customers before the new classes start. Watch the instructional video Confirmation Statements, to see it in action.
• Account Categories – Using account categories to label your new classes so ClassJuggler can tag each tuition charge with the chosen account category. This gives you the ability to run very detailed reports by account category to see how much income a particular class or group of classes is earning your business. And, yes, we’ve got a webinar on that, too: How to Work With Account Categories.

If you need more info on any of these features, contact our support team for assistance.

Changes Coming Soon to SMS Texting

As we announced back in our May newsletter, we will be completely replacing our old SMS texting platform with a new one. Our scheduled launch for this new platform in mid- to late August.

Here's a little more background as to why we are making the change. ClassJuggler has been using a free capability of mobile phone carriers which allowed us to send text messages using their "email gateway to SMS" feature. For example, for any of your customers who are AT&T mobile customers, ClassJuggler automatically reformats your customer's number like this: 9991112222@txt.att.net to take advantage of the “email gateway to SMS” feature. Over the past year, many of the national carriers are now quietly closing down or drastically limiting this back-door service, making texts essentially undeliverable; or, at the least, delayed for hours (or days). This has caused a lot of headaches for our clients who depend on fast text delivery.

We've chosen a partner for our new SMS Texting features and will be announcing our partner soon along with migration instructions for all clients who use text messaging services in ClassJuggler.

Stay tuned for full details coming soon!
