Below you’ll find some of our latest product updates, including a new export in Permissions Manager to support permission auditing, a new list view in the Calendar, how to track parent engagement with Semester Reports, and tips to support your school’s rollover into the upcoming academic year!
New Permissions Manager Export
We’ve added a new export, ‘Permissions Export (by role)’ in the Permissions Manager module that allows school administrators to download the individual permissions within each role group. This helps your school gain clearer insight into the permissions assigned across your school and track any changes to permissions more effectively.
Tip: Auditing Permissions in your Compass Portal
Take a look below at how your school can audit staff permissions. We recommend doing an audit of your school’s permissions to ensure the correct permissions have been assigned to staff at your school and to ensure the most appropriate access has been provided.
List View in the Calendar
The Calendar now includes a new List view, which displays events in a simple, easy-to-read list showing the name of the event, date and time. This is useful if your school has a large number of entries in the Calendar, making it easier for staff, parents and students to see what’s happening at your school each day.
Tip: Hide Future Classes
If you’re getting ready to import your school’s 2026 timetable, take a look below at how you can quickly hide these upcoming classes until you’re ready to share them.
Tip: Hide Future Form Groups
If you’ve promoted students into their 2026 Form Groups, you can change the visibility to parents and students until you’re ready to share them.
To turn off the visibility for parents and students, go to:
> The ‘Organisation’ menu
> People Management module
> ‘People’ tab
> Click on ‘Actions’
> Click on ‘Form Group Visibility Settings’
Tip: Semester Report View Counts
Once you’ve published your school’s Semester Reports, follow the steps below to see how you can gain insights into parent and student engagement.
> Go to the ‘Organisation’ menu and click on the Semester Reports module
> Click into your Semester Report cycle
> Click on ‘Exports’
> Click on ‘Report View Counts Statistics’
The report will download on your device and will include the number of times a parent and student have downloaded the report either via a web browser or from the app.
