Master Schedule, Split Term field needs to be locked down.
Master Schedule, Split Term (MST.DY) field needs to give a warning when changes are made and SEC/CAR records exist. Or the field should be read only like PD, BL, SM, TN and CN.

Classes / Course Requests - Add Students with Disabilities/504/IEP Indicator
My District would love to see an indicator, similar to what is seen on Assertive Discipline, for SWD/504/IEP on the Scheduling, Classes and Course Request pages. It might be beneficial for other pages as well.

Scheduling - Add "Keep Together" Process
We can currently enter "exclusions" into the scheduling module. Until now we've had few enough students to "keep together" that we just hand-scheduled those. Now, though, if we move to a restricted cohort model onsite in the fall, we would LOVE to have a way to keep siblings and ride sharers in the same cohorts if possible without having to hand check each set. Thank you!

Students With No Course Requests - Honor Next School to Bypass Students
When we run the "students with no course requests" report it shows a lot of students who will not be returning next school year because this report looks at next grade. If this report had the ability to exclude if school is not equal to next school will be great. Thanks

When running with Keep/Skip, student scheduling exclusions are not honored for existing students in class.
When running the scheduler with “keep/skip” (to balance genders for example) the scheduler does not appear to honor scheduling exclusions unless the students are scheduled at the same time.

COVID - SMS - Planning Options
Our schools are requesting different options for SMS Scheduling that can be loaded/planned on the fly.
Since we do not know what the future will bring, our schools need to plan in SMS for
Plan A ( on-campus 'traditional' scheduling )
Plan B ( on-campus limited classroom attendance 'social distancing )
Plan C ( Distance-Learning remote-campus scheduling )
Plan ..?Currently they are creating a schedule, saving it, wiping SMS and re-building or the different options.
If there is a way to make this easier, it would be greatly appreciated.

Allow "Next School" to determine course request offerings.
Currently, course request offerings are determined by the student's current school. This does not work well in cases where the students are moving across a school grade level boundary. In casess where there is not a 1:1 relationship between feeder schools and next schools, students have to use generic course requests, if they can use them at all.

Scheduling Course Request Letter to Parents: support print different versions of letter
Currently, in order to support multiple translations, the Course Request Letter Text Editor allows multiple versions of the letter to be saved. But in order to print different versions, each one is associated with a different STU.CL. The customer would like to be able to save multiple versions of the letter, then select which letter to send to which student(s) (based on a criteria other than Correspondence Language).

Locator Card - Add option to print 1 per page
For the student schedule, locator cards report, have an option to print a single student on a page, so the bottom half of the locator cards can be blank so other information can be included, such as a map of the campus. Currently this can be done with workarounds such as exporting to PDF and manipulating the margins before printing, but a built-in solution would be nice. Another workaround is currently to use the Student Class Schedule report which already prints one student per page.

Make hand scheduling easier and quicker
In CS you could quickly click on the courses in the alternate tab and view what period it is available. Now having to go to the SMS Board and filtering it either by course ID or period is so time consuming. From a schedulers point of view .net is far less efficient than it was in CS. There are several features but this one is grueling!

Improve the View of Classes in Edit mode
It is so hard to see the results of the changes you have made unless you click Save. I find it really hard to read. I add a class from View MST and it puts it at the bottom of the list rather than in period order. t Then to compound the problem, on the SSS side, you can’t even click the sections. You are forced to use View MST -which actually is OK with me. I love View MST, but the fact that the two systems are now so different is confusing.
