Students

The Accommodation students menu item shows all students in the school. The main difference from the normal student menu in School Admin is that there are only three tabs on the student’s card:

General Tab:

This shows all the information on the main student card – General tab.

Payment Tab:

This shows all the information on the main student card – Payments tab.

Accommodation Tab:

The accommodation tab is where we enter the student’s preferences for their accommodation:

After you click on the Edit icon, fill in the student’s requirements:

You can mark if accommodation is required or not.
Enter the check in and out dates.
These three drop-down options are stored in Accommodation Settings.
These are subsets of the items in 3.

After you click Save, the items the will appear under User preferences:

Now we can go on to book the student into accommodation.
