This is the single most important choice you will make, because it
changes what your menu looks like and where you go to do almost
everything. Pick it early and leave it alone.
Accounts mode — the default
Students are grouped under Accounts. An Account is the
billing unit — typically a family or a parent. Your menu shows an
Accounts section, and each account has its own
tabs for Students, Finance, Contacts, and Messages. This is what you
want if you teach children, because one parent pays for three kids and
you want one bill, not three.
Students-only mode
The Accounts section is hidden entirely. Contacts, billing, and messages
move onto each student's own page. Best for solo instructors or small
studios where every student pays for themselves.
The same family in each mode. Nothing is missing on the right —
contacts, billing, and messages have moved from the account onto each
student, and the Accounts menu item is gone with it.
If your screen does not match this guide, check here first. The
rest of this guide is written for Accounts mode,
because it is the default. If you are in students-only mode, everything
described as living on an account lives on the student instead, and
there is no Accounts item in your menu. Nothing is missing — it
has just moved.
