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.

Adding an Additional Custom Tab
When you login to the Trac System, you’re presented with your main menu window in the center of the screen where you have a handful of tabs available, including the welcome message and a few utilities. We can add an additional custom tab here, to provide more information on a topic that doesn't necessarily need to be included in the welcome message. Each user type of your Trac System (Users, Faculty, Consultants, and Students) can have a unique custom tab alongside the standard welcome message.

Once open, you’ll be given access to a WYSIWYG text editor. You can embed images, modify fonts, add hyperlinks, or add some light HTML elements.

The name of the tab can be modified in the box above the text editor.

Once you’ve written your custom tab contents, click save, and you’re all set. That user group will now see that tab on their home screen.


The Result

If you're a SysAdmin and you want to see how the message looks for your faculty, consultants, or students. You can use the Login as User utility to login to any account in the Trac System to see it from their point of view. More information on this process can be found here.
