Branches

Each campus carries its own name, address, telephone, logo, watermark, the accounts printed on its fee slips, the notice at the foot of a challan, and the colour its mobile app wears. Printouts take all of this from here, so a change made once appears on every document.

Users, roles and rights

Add a member of staff, give them a role, and limit them to one campus or several. Rights are individual and can be tuned per role. A member of staff who leaves should be marked inactive rather than deleted, so the entries they made keep their name.

Activity log

Who changed what, and when. The first place to look when a figure is not what somebody expected.

Backups

A copy of the whole database, taken on a schedule and downloadable at any time. Keep a copy somewhere other than the server.

Offline working

Where a school runs the offline counter, this screen gives that school its site code — the letters that appear inside every receipt number the counter issues, keeping its numbering apart from the main system's for good.
