Parents Evening Booking - confirmation to be sent to booking parent only
It would greatly enhance the user experience if, upon booking a slot, parents immediately received a confirmation email. This email should serve to reassure them that their booking has been successfully made, while also providing details such as the date and time of the booking.
This measure would not only confirm the reservation to the parent but also sets the expectation that they should receive an email upon successfully saving their booking. Implementing this feature can effectively mitigate potential issues where a parent reserves a slot but overlooks the step of saving the booking to confirm it.

Option for administrators to impersonate other users
It would be useful for administrators to have the option to impersonate other users.
This feature would be particularly helpful when an administrator has configured specific permissions or access for another user. By impersonating that user, the administrator can verify that the permissions are functioning as expected and that the user can edit the designated areas of the website.
Additionally, this capability would enable administrators to impersonate parents, allowing them to view the Parent Portal or Parents' Evening Booking as a parent would. This can help troubleshoot any issues a parent may be experiencing, allowing the administrator to provide assistance.

Data Dashboard: Ability to view members in each Group
If you navigate to ADD-ONS > Data Dashboard > Groups, it would be beneficial for users to have the option to drill down into individual groups to see the specific members within each group.
Currently, it only displays the quantity of contacts, staff, or students in each listed group.
The only way to find out who belongs to each group is to click into every individual contact, staff member, or student to check their assigned group, which is not ideal.

Option to add a Subscribe button on Calendar (within the CMS)
Currently, adding a subscribe button to a calendar requires manual input by the support team, as it's done directly within the code. Since this is provided free of charge (FOC), it might be more efficient to give users the ability to enable this option themselves.
A possible solution could be adding a toggle under the 'EDIT' menu for calendars, allowing users to activate the subscribe button easily.
To implement this, the following code would need to be added to the page.setup.asp folder:
Mason.Site.setConf "calendar_ics", True

Allow schools to reopen a closed Parents Evening block
When you set the close date for your parents evening block, and this comes around - there is currently no way to reopen. This would be really useful if there become additional times available, if dates change or if a number of parents haven't been able to book on already.

Parents Evening Booking: reserved vs booked
When a parent reserves their slot, sometimes there is a confusion between when a slot has been 'reserved' and 'booked', as some parents think that when a slot has been reserved that this is the same as it being booked.
To prevent any confusion it would be useful to include the following to the "reserved for 10 mins" notice:
"In order to confirm your booking please press the 'Save' button."
If a parent does not click the 'save' button then another parent can take that slot.

Separate bookings for PEB
When using the Parents evening booking system can we have the ability to create multiple bookings per priority contact.
Some children have parents/guardians who need to come to the parents evening separately . This would be good to be able to assign a child several bookings.

Parents Evening - ability to see parent view
When setting up a parents evening event, it would be helpful for the school to be able to see the parent's view of the event/have a 'test' parent account so that they can check everything from a parent perspective before making the event live.

Option for users to re-subscribe contacts/parents to receive emails
Sometimes, contacts or parents may unknowingly unsubscribe from school emails, mistaking them for spam.
This can become an issue when they need to receive important communications, such as those sent via the Secure Email or Parents' Evening Booking add-ons.
Currently, users can only check if an email has failed to send due to a bounce or an unsubscribe status.
To do this, users must navigate to ADD-ONS > Data Dashboard, select 'Emails' on the left, locate the relevant sent email, and click 'View' on the right.
Scrolling down reveals a list of contacts or parents for whom the email either…

Accessibility: Improving the Visibility of the 'High Visibility' Option
For users with impaired vision, locating the 'High Visibility' mode can be challenging if it is only available as a small link in the website footer.
To improve accessibility, consider adding a clearly visible button at the top of the site. This would make it easier for users to activate a simplified, distraction-free view of the website.
Additionally, ensuring this option can be selected using only a keyboard would enhance usability for those who cannot use a mouse.

Open day booking
With falling pupil numbers, schools are looking for more ways to attract families and get them booked in for open days.
Could we create a booking system for open days?
It would need to collect parent information, present available slots, and allow people to book themselves onto an open slot. It would need to send reminders, and allow the school to easily access / process the parent's data for follow ups.

Component Tab - Newsletter
I have a school that has a main school homepage and a homepage for their sixth form with separate sitemaps. They would like to use the newsletter builder to create newsletters for their school and sixth form and pull those on to corresponding pages in these areas. The component newsletter currently pulls all newsletter onto a page so will pull all main school and sixth form. There is currently no way to select that main school newsletters appear on main school page only and sixth form appears on sixth form page only.
