Question on Parent Access to SchoolTool

Asked by Robin Dexter

Hi

I notice that some schools using SchoolTool seem to have a SchoolTool 'Parent Portal' linked to their websites.

What sort of functionality can be exposed to parents in this way - is there any documentation?

Does this mean that the Parents need to be created as Persons in SchoolTool rather then just being linked to their children as Parent Contacts - and being given a Username & Password as per Teachers and Students in the Person region?

Thanks

Robin Dexter.

The confusion is probably because there is a completely unrelated commercial product also called SchoolTool.

Right now parents, as contacts, can't log in. This will probably be added in 2013.

Dear developers,
Found my way back after such a good while and see that you are pushing things forward very well.
Highly appreciated.
I am wondering if parents access is somewhere on the map, and when you in that case expect it to happen?
All the best!
