Dear Ross
One of the most important requirements of educational institutes is to notify Parents (and Students sometimes), about their Ward’s absence.
You already have some brilliant groupings as Target (ex. Role, Class, Form Group etc) for easy sending of Messages via SMS/Email/Wall Msg.
Having “Absentees” will REALLY be handy and effective for the institutions.
Basic Use case: Admin selects the radio button against Absentee, then there’s additional selection to be required for Date (Today, Yesterday or any other date in Past). Include Students - Yes/No —> Submit
All the Parents get apprised of their ward(s) absence via the chosen channel.
Thank you so much.
