Update School Pay scales from MAT, Update Meal Prices, and Further MAT Updates!
Hello Arbor Users, we’re back with a new instalment in our Arbor Updates For You series. Bringing you the latest features and improvements in the Arbor Management Information System (MIS). There is a lot going on this week for MAT MIS, including a big update just in time for the Workforce Ccensus which should help make everyone's lives easier. Lets get right to it and see what’s going on.
MAT MIS Updates
Pay scales from MAT to school
The first big update just in time for the Workforce Census and one that I’m sure we will all be doing a shiny happy dance over! You can now update pay scales within the MAT MIS and then with a simple click of a button push these down to your schools. No more logging into each individual school site to update these, thanks Arbor!
How to do the do? Using Administration > Pushdown you can either create new pay scales templates or alter current pay scales. You’ll need to add which schools you want to push down this data too, it’s a bulk action so you can select them all at once. Finally, these new pay scales are read only on the school sites, all updates will need to be made through the MAT MIS, which is great for ensuring standardisation!
Documents: Administrator Permission:
This great new permission has been added to allow staff to be able to see migrated documents – assign this to those in your team who need it, saving having to duplicate storage or emailing documents to others as we’ve seen in the past.
Reporting on UDFs:
A handy new N/A will now show if a UDF hasn’t been pushed down to a particular school – a great visual for cross checking your data, making it easier to see what you need to do next.
Tables Paginated:
For the last of the MAT MIS updates, tables will now be paginated which means that they will have page numbers. This is great, we’ve all had that inopportune dropping of a stack of paper, now it’s easy to get it back in order.
What Else is Occurring?
Meal Prices – It’s now easier to change meal prices throughout the year
PDFs – The way PDFs generate in the background has changed; this shouldn’t create any noticeable changes for you. However Arbor have cautioned that there is a small chance of a slightly different font being used if they haven’t been able to find an exact match.
There we have it for this round up for Arbor Updates for you, watch this space for more updates, advice, questions answered and more!
