The CRM module is designed to let you record and plan your contacts with your students, parents, company contacts and potential students.
There are two main sections in the menu:
- TASKS – Here you will find a list of tasks that need to be done and create new ones. You can find out how to create tasks here.
- PEOPLE – All existing contacts: students and company contacts, whether archived or not, automatically appear in the CRM list. You can easily find who you are looking for by looking for their user type: student, company, archived, in the list. Parents do not have their own card but can be searched for and emailed using the filters.
In this tutorial we will look at people
People:
- Click Filter and select User Type.
- You can then select the type of user you are looking for and email that group etc.
- Any tasks that you create will appear here.
New Contacts:
In addition you an create a CRM card for people who are prospective customers
fill in their details as you would for a student and Save. When they sign up to your school, you can convert them to students by clicking “Add Student”.
Now they will have both a student card and a CRM card.

The timeline card shows a history of all tasks that have been created for this person. You can create them in tasks or here as well:
