This chapter summarises the features added since the first release. Everything here works alongside the sections above — use it as a quick tour of the newest tools.

13.1 Withdrawn Students list

The dashboard now has a dedicated “Withdrawn Students” icon under Students & Admissions, so you can review students who have left in one click.

• On the Dashboard, open the Students & Admissions group and click Withdrawn Students.
• The list opens showing all withdrawn students by default.
• Narrow it down with the Class and Section filters, or type a name in the Search box.

13.2 Import Students from Excel / CSV

You can now bulk-create students (and their families) from a spreadsheet instead of entering them one by one.

• Go to Students and click Import Excel.
• Click Download Template to get the sample file, then fill one row per student.
• Save the file and upload it. Siblings are grouped automatically by the father’s mobile number, and class/section are matched by name.

13.3 Remaining Fees on the Student Profile

Open any student’s profile: next to the name and the status badge (e.g. Active) you will now see a Remaining badge showing the total unpaid fees on that student’s family account — red when dues exist, green when fully paid.

13.4 Pakistani CNIC & Phone Auto-Formatting

Across the system — Families, Students, Visitors and more — CNIC and phone fields now format themselves as you type and are validated on save.

• CNIC becomes 00000-0000000-0 automatically (dashes added for you, capped at 13 digits).
• Mobile becomes 0300-1234567 automatically.
• If the value is not a valid Pakistani CNIC or mobile number, the form shows a clear message and will not save until it is corrected.

13.5 Redesigned Fee Challans

Both the printed bank-style challan and the thermal (receipt-printer) challan were reworked:

• Details now read in the order Student → Father Name → Family.
• A Total Remaining line shows the family’s full outstanding balance across every unpaid challan, not just the current one.
• The thermal receipt no longer has signature/stamp lines — it prints “This is a computer-generated challan. No signature or stamp is required.”

13.6 Bulk “Print Challans”

Print an entire class’s challans at once instead of opening them individually.

• On the Dashboard, click the Print Challans icon.
• Choose a Class (and optionally a Section and month/status).
• The system opens every matching challan ready to print in one go.

13.7 Examinations & Professional Result Cards

The examination workflow now produces a polished, print-ready result card. The full flow:

• Set up your grading scale once under Examinations › Grade Scale, and assign subjects to each class under Academics › Classes.
• Create an exam (Examinations › Exams), then Generate Papers for each class.
• Enter marks under Marks Entry (or the pencil icon on a paper); mark Absent where needed.
• Publish the exam to make results visible on the Parent and Student portals.
• Print from Result Cards (individual A4 card), Gazette Sheet (whole class), or Position Holders (merit list + subject analysis).

A separate step-by-step “Examination Module” manual is also available from IT Artificer.

13.8 Timetable Menu

A dedicated Timetable screen (under Academics) shows teacher – subject – class allocations in a clear, readable layout.

13.9 Transport — Smarter “Assign Students”

The Transport › Assign Students screen now shows each student’s Father Name alongside their name, and adds a Search box plus Class and Section filters so you can find and assign riders quickly.

13.10 Data Backups (Super Admin only)

A new Backups area lets the Super Admin protect the school’s data. It is visible only to the Super Admin under Administration › Backups.

• Download — create and download a full database backup on demand.
• Restore — upload a previous backup file to restore the database.
• Schedule — turn on automatic daily, weekly or monthly backups and choose how many to keep.
