And a pop up would be great. So we know if there is a no contact order or something that is very important.

Yes! Please!!!!!! I would also like to see the option of creating a form, where teachers can fill up information about a student for the next student to come.

I would love for teachers to be able to add their own private notes that only they can see (or they can select which roles can see). They should be able to add multiple types of notes throughout their time teaching them (like to track if the met with a student). The official notes feature is clunky and not a good tool for teachers.

Agree 100% on this. One of the things we need to do is keep of log of when we send transcripts off to colleges for students who request them years later (not those that just graduate). It would be great to have a general note section on the student record that could be for anything like this.

It would also be helpful to have an ability to import notes If we need to put a same note to a group of students, past students, or graduates. We should be able to include the notes into advanced lists as well and filter by the note types.

This would be very helpful in multiple ways. Official notes as constructed is more often than not the wrong tool for the job.

YES, PLEASE!!! There needs to be more open areas to add information with NO character limit. This has been a huge frustration as our school is trying to put student info into Blackbaud and there isn't a place to do it.

Definitely need a notes section. But it must also be able to be pulled into a list or report. The note recently added to Billing Management cannot be used in any list or report.

You have to do this!!!!!!

The ability to add notes on records is important. And it needs to be available on all records, thus from Core as well as in EM, Academics, Bill Mgmt, Extra.

This open notes field, to be clear, is not a means of communication to students, but a way for us to have working memory of who students are, what their needs are, and how we can communicate effectively with them at any time, now or far in the future. The official notes portion of BEM is great for managing actions and communicating them to students or other constituents. Such an open field in Core is more about reflections and reminders for administrators about who each student is and what their idiosyncratic needs might be.

Please, please, please make it possible to keep notes on students, regardless of their current status. I have not been able to keep notes on students for over a year since transitioning to this new system, and it is making it difficult to keep up with when I last talked with them, what their life situation is, why they are taking time off, etc. The system needs to be able to include notes for why they might defer enrolling in classes as well as why they might temporarily be taking time off, thoughts about potential course plans, etc. Thank you to attending to this in a timely way.

Core would be the ideal place by individual person, this would only be used internally. We add notes on Past Students, our Graduate Theology students do not always take classes continuously. We would need a type of tracking/reporting capability. So we would need to be able to setup a type of notes, similar to official notes to make this more reporting friendly. Also, we would need to be able to pull the personas when running the reports.

Actually, it would be better in Core (instead of Academics). We need to be able to add a note to students, past students, and alumni.
