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.

Work Reasons
Work Reasons can be utilized to track Payroll hours for Consultants. Consultants can log in and out of your centers in the same fashion as students do with the exception of using a different type of Reason. “Work” Reasons will not display for students, and “Work” Visits will by default be remain hidden on the Log Listing. Work Reasons can be an effective way to track, record, or confirm your Staff’s payroll hours.

Creating a Work Reason

In the process of editing a reason (you may want to create a reason named “Work” or something along those lines) there is a preference, as shown in the screenshot above, entitled “is Work Reason” (Consultants only). If this preference is activated, Consultants will be able to log in using this reason. However, as students are the only group in the system that are allowed to log in, an important step in the process of logging work visits is to connect a Consultant account to a student account. To do this, we will navigate to the Consultant Profile. Hover over the Search Glass on the right side of the Trac Navigation bar and select Center Profile. Choose your Center Profile and navigate to the Consultants (or Tutors/Advisors depending on the label that you define) tab. Here we can click on a Consultants Name to access their profile.

In the Consultant’s profile, navigate to the Contact Info tab. The Student ID field towards the bottom of the window determines whether or not this Consultant profile will be linked to a student profile. If the Consultant already has a Student Profile created, simply type their ID number or you can perform a search by entering last name, first name.
