Overview
What Does Front Office & ID Cards Do?
Front Office & ID Cards gives schools a centralized platform for the operational data management that sits at the heart of every school. Student & staff records are kept current, academic year promotions are accurately & auditably processed, and every student & staff member carries a correctly generated, school-branded ID card.

How Does it Help Schools?
Student & Staff Records Kept Current With Full History
Student allocation history tracks every class change & transfer. Staff movement history tracks every designation & department change. School Groups get multi-branch support with branch-level filtering.
Promotion Without Annual Scramble
Pre-promotion attendance & marks checks prevent students who do not meet promotion criteria from being promoted in error. Bulk promotion with per-student override & audit log records.
ID Cards Generated in Bulk
Drag & drop ID card template designer allows schools to build its card layout once. School logo, background, field positions, barcode or QR code location. Fastens bulk generation per class or department.
Certificates Tracked
Generated certificates tracked per student & staff. The system knows which certificates have been issued, to whom & when. Best for large volumes of participation or completion certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about front office data, promotions, and ID card generation
Can we design our own ID card layout, or are we stuck with a fixed template?+
The drag and drop ID card designer lets your school build its own layout: logo placement, background image, field positions, and photo, barcode, or QR code location are all configurable. Once the template is set, it is reused for bulk generation across classes or departments, so the design work happens once per academic year.
How does bulk promotion prevent students who have not met the criteria from being promoted by mistake?+
Pre-promotion validation checks attendance and marks against the criteria configured for each class before promotion is applied in bulk. Any student who does not meet the criteria is flagged, and staff can apply a per-student override where justified. Every promotion and demotion, including overrides and reasons, is retained in an audit log.
Does the system track certificates that have already been issued, to avoid duplicate or unrecorded certificates?+
Yes. Generated certificates are tracked per student and staff member, so the system records which certificate was issued, to whom, and when. This is built for schools issuing participation or completion certificates in volume, where manual tracking becomes unreliable.
Can our School Group manage student and staff records across multiple campuses from one login?+
Multi-branch support with branch-level filtering is built into the front office module, so a School Group can manage student and staff records, allocation history, and ID card generation across all its campuses from a single platform without records mixing between branches.
How is sibling information used once it is linked in student records?+
Sibling relationships are linked directly in student records and support fee concession application, parent contact management, and family-level reporting. Front office staff do not need to cross-reference separate records to confirm which students belong to the same family.
