Statutory Attendance Tracking, New Fields and More with Arbor's latest updates.
Hello Arbor users, Cara here from Swyft Education. We're back with another instalment in our Arbor Updates series, bringing you the latest features and improvements in the Arbor Management Information System (MIS). Let's dive in and see what's new!
Statutory Attendance for Schools and MATs
Arbor has added a new Statutory Attendance KPI to include only students aged 5-15 who are not enrolled as Guest pupils. This is a great step towards ensuring accurate attendance tracking. You can check out Arbor's guidance here for the MAT MIS, or here for guidance on your School MIS homepage KPIs.
New Fields in the Custom Report Writer
Arbor continues to enhance its Custom Report Writer. Now, you can report on your Formative Curriculum assessments using the new Curriculum Mark (by Statement) and (by Module) fields. This is a fantastic addition for those of you wanting to dive deeper into curriculum-based assessments.
Additionally, Arbor has added a new SEN Notes field to the Student report. This allows you to pull in all notes for a student in one cell, or add a filter just for specific date ranges or summary content. This feature is particularly useful for reducing double entry in multiple systems for IEP Reports.
And there's more! Arbor has added an Actions Taken field to the Behavioural Incidents report, enabling you to see or filter on the follow-ups and outcomes of incidents. This is a great tool for tracking behavioural incidents and their resolutions.
What Else is New?
Arbor has been busy with a host of other updates.
Bulk Removal of Candidate Numbers:
Arbor now allows you to remove candidate numbers for previous academic years in bulk. This is a great time-saver at the start of a new academic year.
Automatic Enrolment Count:
When setting up an automatic enrolment, Arbor will now let you know how many students will be enrolled. This is a handy feature to ensure you're setting up the enrolment as intended.
Identifying Payout Invoices:
Arbor has made it easier to identify which payout invoices relate to using the VAT Invoices page. This should help streamline your financial processes.
Improved Error Messages:
Arbor has improved its error message pop-ups to direct you to their Contact Us form. This should make it easier for you to get the help you need when you encounter an issue.
Permission Tooltips:
If you don't have permission to click a button, Arbor will now let you know the URL in a tooltip so you can request access from your admin team. This is a great step towards making Arbor more user-friendly and accessible.
That's all for this update. As always, we're here to help you navigate and get the most from Arbor. Get in touch to see how we can help you make the most of your MIS. Stay tuned for more updates in our series!
