Version 1.6.3 of SafeArrival has been released. This release includes new features that can be enabled when guardians are reporting absences, including a new way to report absences and the ability for users to add comments and attachments when reporting an absence.
A New Absence Reporting Method
We have added a new feature that allows guardians to explain student absences via a Web Link. By clicking a link sent to them, the Guardian will be able to explain the reason for a student's absence without needing to use the SafeArrival application.
You can configure a number of options for when a guardian explains an absence, including a PIN, a Captcha and the ability to display the interface in other languages.
New Features for Reporting an Absence
Comments and Attachments
There are a number of new features that can be enabled for when a guardian reports an absence, inlcuding the ability to add a comment or an attachment while reporting the absence.
If the guardian leaves a comment or adds an attachment, it will be visible to staff when viewing reported absences.
Enabling Features
Please note that these new features are currently not enabled by default. If you wish to use any of these features, please contact the support team and they will be happy to enable them for your account.
