Filters and synonyms in the search bar

Find what you’re looking for in Arbor even quicker with our latest search improvements. 

• You can now filter your search results by the type of information you’re looking for. Select a category, such as ‘Students’ or ‘Custom Reports’ and Arbor will show you results for those areas.
• Every MIS names things a bit differently. Now, you can search using the terms familiar to you, and we’ll show you the most similar area and what it’s called in Arbor. Synonyms in the search bar are based on terminology from SIMS, Bromcom, ScholarPack, Integris and Timetabler.

View timetable slots and classes in tables

Access your timetable information in an easy-to-read table. We’ve converted the ‘Timetable Slots’ section to a table, so you can see Current, Historic, and Future timetable slots in separate tabs. The ‘Classes and Lessons’ section is also a table, with a brand new Attendance Marks column.

New bulk actions for club sessions

Log behaviour points and incidents for a specific club session for multiple students at once, making club management quicker and easier. The new bulk actions include Behaviour points, Logging incidents, Interventions, and Assign detention.
