New: Change the pass that credits come from

Last week I wrote up a post about a few early summer updates we had just released, but I'm happy to say we already have another announcement, this time for one of those "big little" features. As customers of Tula know, much of our system revolves around the notion that people buy passes, and passes pay for the Attendance to an event.  

This setup is a wonderfully powerful approach to paying for classes and tracking attendances. One problem with it though is that sometimes a customer would want to override the logic we have in place at the system level to indicate which pass should pay for an attendance.

For example, in our system, we always pull from an unlimited pass if someone has one of those and we always pull a credit from the pass that expires the soonest. Which is great, unless someone has an unlimited pass, and they also have 2 credits left over from a previous pass and they want *that* pass to pay for someone else's attendance.  So for those occasions where you want to pull a specific credit from a specific pass for a specific event for one reason or another, now you can! 

Here's how it works: 

When you check someone into class, everything will operate the same as it always has. But now, you'll notice the pass that paid for the attendance is hyperlinked. Simply click this link to bring up other pass options that can pay for an attendance.  

Change the pass that pays for an attendance with a simple click of a link.

What's great is that this feature works on all regular classes that are paid for with credits, no matter how many credits the class costs. Meaning, let's say a class costs 3 credits, and you want to change things to pay for the class with three separate passes that each have one credit left on them, well you can do that too.

In addition, you can make this change on the attendances tab of someone's profile as well. 

Big thanks to our customers who wrote in requesting this feature - we're glad we could ship this out for you and hope it makes Tula even more powerful and flexible for you!

Early Summer Updates

We've recently pushed out a number of updates we wanted to share with you!

Many of these are various small fixes we've made on the back end to take care of some bugs, while a few are new things to give you more capabilities. Here are some of the latest things we've been working on:

Show/Hide passes for your special events

One of the most powerful and flexible features of Tula Software is our special events feature, which allows you to indicate specific passes that are valid for specific events. We've long allowed our customers to show/hide passes from their main payment form, but special events always showed every pass that was associated with them when students would go through the buy-flow from the calendar. Now, when creating and editing a special event, you can indicate which passes should be visible to the public vs. which passes should only be seen internally.

Quickly and easily indicate which special event passes are visible to the public and which are only available internally.

This is great for events where you're having an early-bird price that you want to be able to turn off from public view once the early-bird date is over, or if you have a free pass you use for team-members. 

Custom Calendar Updates

One of the great things about Tula is you can make as many calendars as you need for your studio. Previously though we had some limitations on which events could be combined with each other. So if you chose to show "all regular events" and also include a handful of special event series', the calendar wouldn't load anything.

We've updated things on the back-end of our custom calendars to provide for more options that give you more flexibility on the custom calendars you can make. 

 

Bug fixes and small updates

Along with the above, we've also pushed out a number of other updates which include:

  • Officially adding support for Japanese Currency
  • Fixed a bug that was preventing valid passes from paying for a special event, if the special event pass type had been trashed.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause new students who no-showed, to later appear in the registration list without their name being included.
  • Fixed a bug where we weren't properly saving the country code on phone numbers when new accounts were created from the updated student widget.
  • Fixed a bug causing some invitation email links to be invalid

More coming soon!

We have a host of other things we've been working on that we're not quite ready to show you, but it won't be long before we have another update for you!
