In this section of the newsletter we review selected items from the recent releases of SAS2000.
Cheque Printing |
Earlier this year we added warning messages to remind you to put the cheques into the printer and to remove the cheques after the cheque printing finished. These messages have now been made optional, as schools that have a separate printer tray for their cheques do not require them.
A control has been added to MAINTENANCE > SETUP > PRINTING (1) called "WARN ON CHEQUE PRINTING?" Tick this option if you want the cheque printing messages to display, untick if you do not. |
Alumni |
Two new fields have been added to the Alumni screen: CLASS OF and ALUMNI STATUS. CLASS OF: Also known as Peer Group. This is the calendar year that the students graduated, or would have graduated if they had completed the course of education offered by the school.
ALUMNI STATUS: This field records the departure status for the Alumni. You can set the options in the field to suit your school environment. |
Enrolment Sibling |
A new report that lists the details for any enrolments that have siblings already present at the school, or have siblings that have previously attended the school. The report shows the status of the enrolments application, as well as the name, year level and house of their siblings. This report will be useful for assigning siblings to the same house, or checking which enrolments already have siblings at the school. |
Family Verification Report |
Two changes have been made to this report.
The contact’s email address is now printed on the report. The Family phone number is now marked as (Family) instead of (F), which could be mistaken for fax number. |

The next major release of SAS2000 (due at the end of Term Three) contains the following alternations to address entry.
In Enrolments when adding a new contact, the Family Address tick box is being changed to default the Contact Account to address from the Family Mail to address. Feedback has indicated that the Contact Account to address is more likely to correspond to the Family Mail to address then the current option of the Family Residential Address.
In Creditors when updating the address, if the Creditor has the same address entered for their other addresses, a form will pop up asking if you want to change the other addresses and will let you select which addresses to update.
