#16900 CRM Points System
The new version supports points (positive / negative) for CRM actions. When a user adds a new CRM action or remark for a student, the action is associated with pre-defined positive or negative mark points. The pre-defined number of points is set up on the second literal (drop down) of the CRM action.
CRM points are used as a pointing system for measuring student behavior or actions. Those numbers are presented in the student progress form available to teachers, parents and employees along with students.
#17109 New CRM types : Αchievements/Rewards/Detentions
Three new CRM types are added: Achievements, rewards and detentions. You can use them to create CRM categories/actions. They are used to separate CRM actions apart and present them in student progress form. They can be used in conjunction with new pointing system (#16900).
#13827 CRM Completion - Set up possible next actions. (Only Classter Manager)
The completion of a CRM action may lead to a new CRM action. This feature is supported (for the time being) in Classter Manager. If a CRM completion action is configured like this, upon the completion of this CRM action, a pop-up form opens, and the end user can register a new CRM action. Until now Classter only allowed the end user to select any available (to end user) CRM action of the same type.
The new version allows the configuration of possible next actions. They must be of the same type. Now, only the list of selected CRM actions is presented to the end user. This allows the creation of workflow paths.
This configuration is done in the list of CRM completion types.
#19052 Στα CRM actions – Employee drop down auto-fill
When a new CRM action is created the employee field must be filled in. In the new version, the drop-down field will autofill with the logged in user.
This works only if the logged in user is associated with an employee entity. It does not work for Classter Manager only type of users (legacy Classter Users)
Related only with Classter Manager.

#16395 Add TAGS in templates (SMS/email)
In the template management tool, we added the capability of adding TAGS. TAGS are related to DB fields and are automatically replaced by these data when an email or SMS is created (mail merge type of function).
#18927 Auto setting of Mentor in Student creation (Classter Manager only)
When a new student is created, the Mentor field is based on a special setting. The following values are supported:
0. Teacher or Employees – User selects
1. Auto-assignments of employee based on the logged in user.
If the setting is 0 or null, it works as it used to do.
If the setting is 1, then the option teacher is disabled and the list has only employees. If the logged in user is associated with an employee, then this employee is pre-selected.
