Customizable views of listing pages. Student timelines. Twig and HTML-supported emails and system messages. Customizable log listing and kiosk views. Center descriptions. New reports.

Customizable
With Twig support, you can personalize system messages, upcoming appointment lists, emails, and more based on the users who are viewing/receiving them. From simple changes like greeting the user by name to completely changing an email based on if the related appointment was in-person or online, in a certain center, for a certain reason, even if a certain custom field in the student's profile has a specific value. This extends to the log listing and kiosks as well, where you can add or remove fields, rearrange the data that's displayed, and add custom formatting with HTML and Twig.

Faster
Rewritten from the ground up hosted on AWS, using a MySQL database, TracCloud is faster in every way. This performance increase compared to Trac 4.0 can be noticed throughout the entire system, with reports being especially improved. Even the biggest reports in TracCloud load within a few seconds.

Group Access - Scheduling
The second major area of Configuration Options for Appointments is located in your Group Access Preferences. Group Access settings determine which Groups of Users are able to Access the Schedule. The Group Access Preferences define in detail specific levels of access.


To get to your Group Access Settings, hover over the Search Glass on the right side of your Trac Navigation bar (top left corner on Main Menu). Select Center Profiles and click on your Center Profile. Select the Group Access tab.

To add access to the Schedule for a particular Group, check the box next to Schedule for the chosen Group. The “Schedule” Function determines whether or not this group has the ability to view the Schedule. Click on the Group Name to access the individual Group’s settings. For this example, we’ve used the Consultant Group.
