Custom Behaviour Workflows, Biometric Login, Club Attendance Data and More!
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!
Custom Behaviour Workflows:
Arbor has added a great new feature that allows you to make custom behaviour workflows that are related to behaviour types rather than incident levels! The level of customisation is impressive and opens up a great new pathway for targeting specific types of behaviour outside of incident levels. This allows greater flexibility, follow up and management of specific behaviour all at your finger tips within Arbor.
Whilst we are on the subject of behaviour a couple of other little bits that have come out, you can now record behaviour from within any past detention session. And the behaviour point award narrative filed is now allowing up to 255 characters of commentary. All this greatly improves the use of behaviour within Arbor.
Biometric Login for the App:
It is here! Now logging into the Arbor App couldn’t be easier, parents no longer need to use their password every time. Instead they can use their mobile devices face recognition, fingerprint recognition or device pin – Simple! We love to see increased accessibility with Arbor!
Club Attendance:
Two exciting new ways to report on Club attendance have been added to custom report writer. This is wonderful news, especially for when compiling data for Ofsted. So that you can make these reports you’ll need to be taking attendance for the clubs. Then head on over to the new filters within custom report writer and you can check out the various data, including if it’s a wrap around care club, attendance levels, meals and more. Check out the article here for how to set up these reports.
What else is new?
Arbor have been on a roll with a host of other tweaks and improvements. Lets take a look at what else has come out.
MAT MIS Full Staff User List - View users across the entire trust, including last login and if the account is enabled. Nice to have all the information in one place to give you that all important snap shot of the trust.
There’s a new status bar in tables and oh how I love it, no more mental arithmetic for us! Giving an average, count, min, max and sum of data that is highlighted – Yes please and thank you!
Errors and Warnings:
Error messages have been improved to give better direction for query’s helping you get answers quicker.
A warning has been added to the internal candidates section for duplicate UCI or candidate numbers, and Arbor have made it so you can’t accidently create duplicates. Great news!
Fixed Period Exclusions has been renamed across the whole MIS to Suspensions.
There we have it, the latest round up of Arbor updates for you!
