Set future Withdrawal date - Gibbon changes status to "Left" automatically

Administration

Hi all,

Wondering if there is already the functionality / whether others would like the functionality of being able to set a date in the future that a student / user leaves the school and have the account remain open and “full” until that date, when Gibbon automatically changes the status to “Left”?

We usually receive letters of withdrawal for any students who are withdrawing in advance, so would make sense to input that date when we receive it and then not have to worry about anything!

Andrew,

It is a thing already : ) It is accomplished using a CLI script which can be run using cron, and there is even documentation! https://gibbonedu.org/support/administrators/command-line-tools/

The script for this also intelligently marks parents of left students as left if they are a) not staff and b) there are no other siblings still in the school.

Awesome! Will try.
