Staff Member Communication Roles
Good Day Would it be possible to give staff members a role that they can only send out direct messages to communication channels they have been given rights to? It seems that I can only limit their access to communication channels with resources/calendar
Major flaw in SMS recon reporting
Thank you very much for the new SMS recon feature, it is something that will be very useful to our school. However, I have found that there is a major flaw with the function, which has big implications in terms of protecting privacy and confidentility.
Calender days shown incorrect
Our calender shows the first column (Sunday dates) of each month (see below) wrongly. The dates of each Sunday column moves up one week. This can cause a misunderstanding. Please correct this on your system.
D6 resources platform feed
Good day is it possible that the school resources be moved to the top of the feed page. Parents are complaining that they have to scroll through all the adverts etc before getting to the resources that are posted by our school. I am aware that they are
Discipline communication
Hi Could we have a preference to send communication via D6 connect then Email then SMS?
Change messages after it was sent without having to redo everything
Please look into the function to be able to change a sent message if something was left out or a spelling mistake slipped in without having to "intercept" it but then having to redo everything from scratch. Why can't a message that was intercepted be
How far are d6Connect from being more user friendly for admins by phones
How far are d6Connect from being able to be used for sending alerts and maybe some other messages from the admin's phones as with the communicator? This is a function that really is being missed by most schools' that changed from the good-working-misses-it-a-lot-why-change-this-communicator-and-now-cannot-really-communicate-with-the-parents-unless-sitting-in-front-of-a-computer.
Message re absenteeism
Can the message about a learner's absenteeism be sent in the news feed? the current way makes it too easy for a parent to miss it., as it disappears as soon as they open the app.
Email Format
Email Features Request It would be more professional if our emails could have a header/frame etc that we could use in the body (similar to emails from d6/old communicator) . We would like to have the various departments email signatures to add to the
EMAIL DELIVERY AND READ REQUEST
Any change that we can see delivery and read request when sending mails out of D6?
Email Disclaimer
Good day, we would like our disclaimer to be automatically included when we send emails to parents using D6. Your urgent reply will be appreciated. Kind regards Julie Stewart
Searching for communication
It would be very helpful under communication history to have an option to filter out all communication sent to a specific parent. i.e A way that you can search all communication for a list of messages/emails sent to a specific parent/learner or email
Generate one report for all questions in a d6 message
The D6 messaging function where you can ask questions gives the opportunity to do away with physical consent letters. At the moment you can only see the answers per question and pull an excel export per question making it difficult to see all answers
D6 nuus item en D6 Bronne
Goeie dag Is dit nie moontlik om opsies van Bold/Italic/Underline,fonts groottes en dalk rooi as kleur by te voeg vir wanneer ons iets wil skryf nie. Baie keer is daar n sin of woord wat ons wil benadruk vir die ouers om te sien en dan sal dit mooi uitstaan
Send out push notifications only for absentees
It would be nice if you can have an option to only send push notifications for absentees instead of sms.
Format text
Please can you add the option to format text sent out to parents? It will definitely help to put some headings in bold or to underline certain sentences in the communication sent out to parents via D6 and/or email.
D6 connect
Hello would it be possible to have an option to save a template for standard messages that need to be sent out on a regular basis? ie messages informing parents of detention.
Sms system
Good day, I would like to propose an option where we can select parents of eldest and only children. This would save the school both money and time as parents phone the school after each sms to inform us that they received 2, 3 or 4 sms's (depending on how many children they have in the school) and that they feel the school is wasting money. This could be a challenge at the budget meetings as well. Regards
D6 Connect Search Function
Good day A option to search D6 Connect app for matching word in the news/homework/calendar etc.. Some of our parents and even myself find myself looking at this as a function. Sometimes I know I am looking for a cricket article in news, but the school already has 10 new post , now I have to scroll through and search.
Messaging channel permissions
Granular control on which channel an editor etc. can manage messaging.
D6 Connect Calendar
We would like to request that not all posts to calendars are automatically accepted. Each calendar should have a moderator/owner who can accept or reject proposed events. This would prevent the creation of events that clash and cause scheduling problems.
Huiswerk met opsie as blitskennisgewing
Is daar nie 'n moontlikheid dat as huiswerk gelaai word daar 'n opsie is dat dit as kennisgewing gestuur kan word nie. As ouers nie op die stadium by elke kind gaan kyk nie weet hulle nie of daar nuwe huiswerk is nie. Hulle moet ook 'n paar keer gaan kyk aangesien huiswerk op verskillende tye gelaai word.
SMS real time reply notification
We use sms's to communicate with our parents and sometimes they reply directly on the sms. It will be awesome if we can receive a notification when a parent sends a reply.
Emails
My school, communication, email...... We need to be able to search a learner. In fact we should be able to search learners for everything.
Staff emails - required fields
Can you not set the email function up that under staff one can choose the category: male or female. Often I just want to send a note to the ladies on the staff or just the men. This sorting will help a lot. Dankie!
SMS WAT GESTUUR WORD NA OUER OP OUER SE PROFIEL.
Is dit moontlik om al die sms boodskappe wat ek na 'n ouer toe stuur op die ouer se profiel te kan sien sodat as daar intervensie is kan ons net een bladsy print en al die datums plus sms verskyn daarop. Die ouer kan dan sien dat ons wel vir hom/haar verskeie boodskappe gestuur het i.v.m. met sy kind. As ek die boodskappe nou onder die huidige sisteem gaan soek vat dit werklik ure en dan is dit nog onder die ouer se naam en nie die van of the inskrywings nommer nie. Dit is langdradig en vat baie
School Only Public Channel - D6 Connect
It would save a ton of work if we were able to create a school only public channels where only members of our school community can join to follow events posted on the channels. I know there's a workaround in getting this right, but I'd prefer giving parents the choice of opting in, rather than having to opt-out of these types of channels.
D6 Connect - Superuser Account
Hi, I would like to suggest that there be a Superuser Account for D6 Connect so that the administrator can check everything that has been sent out as an extra control measure.
D6 Connect School Information - Categories of Contacts
Currently the school information only allows you to create a list of contacts that you can order manually, but there's no form of categorisation that is possible. It would be much better to be able to categorise this for parents e.g. Grade 8 teachers, Grade 9 teachers, Finances, Sport etc. then you can list all the contact details for everyone in the school without confusing everyone. This would need to have menu/dropdown functionality.
Marks in D6 Connect app
At Hoërskool Overkruin we like to inform the parents about the June exam marks that the learners received. We issue this marks on the report cards, but we would like the D6 Connect app to allow us to choose the marks that will be displayed on the app.
D6 Conect Calendar
We want to be able to print the calander in communicator format please.
D6 Connect - Teachers submit absentees
I would like to make a suggestion to implement the ability for staff to capture the daily absentees/marks/discipline in the D6 Connect app. We don't always have our computers with us, but our phones are always in our pockets. It would make life much simpler and streamlined.
This forum needs to be categorised
I think it would help a lot if this forum is categorised. I know it is possible to search, but that doesn't provide nearly enough structure to help users locate similar ideas or suggestions.
D6 Connect App feature
Often there is a need by sports coaches and managers to advise on bus arrival times when they are away from their computer. Is it possible to add a feature to the App that would allow coaches to post an alert advising of changes to schedules directly from the App.
Vrystellings-kommunikasie
1. Ek sal graag sodra die vrystelling gedoen is vir die ouers direk van D6 af die uitslag van hul aansoek deurstuur, maw ‘n brief genereer wat ek kan pos of epos. Al die data is op stelsel om dit te kan doen.
Report for SMS sent (delivered/undelivered/pending)
I would like to have the following feature added to the communication history. Previously we used D6 communicator to sms or email parents. In the sms report is showed whether the sms was delivered or undelivered or pending. (See attachment) However in D6+ we don't have this info. This is important as out teacher are asked to keep evidence that parents where informed.
D6 - stel ouers in kennis van toets punte
Moontlike 'n opsie dat as jy toets punte inlees jy ouers dmv die connect in kennis kan stel van die toets punt. Soos 'n dissipline of afwesigheid nota? :-)
Communication Parent
Currently the system allows you to set Parent 1 and 2 not to receive communication and therefore when you choose "Preferred Communication Parent", these parents will be excluded from receiving communication. I think there should be a rule not to allow this because surely at least one of the parents should receive communication.
Streaming Events to Parents & Clocking
Many schools are approached now by various streaming services that sell their service to broadcast events at the school to parents, perhaps d6 can integrate or it would also be nice to have a platform available for students/ teachers to upload content in real-time for broadcasting. Another request from schools is to have a clocking system linked to whereabouts late-for-class or absentees within d6+
Warning of D6 Connect going live
We accidentally went live on D6 by simply choosing a background colour for the app which we were hoping to launch in a few months. There was no warning that came up, telling us that this would now activate the app and allow parents to link themselves and their children. We only realised this was happening when some parents (who knew about the app because of another school) were able to access their marks. As you can expect, this caused quite a bit of an upset. I suggest/request that the screen where
