For separated parents who want to protect their personal information (address, employer, email, phone number) from the other parent, we need the ability to restrict what parents get to see that won't just hide all contact info from everyone. Basically, we need a way for a parent to see their own info and and maybe just the name/relationship for the other guardians. This will enable parents in these situations to feel safe with providing this important information that we need on file.

When trying to edit a linked contact record, in order to save the record, you have to first change the Field Description to None and save. Then you can go back and select the field Description that you want to save and link. Otherwise, the change is not saved on the Demographics Screen.

Trying to work on Data Validations and Email Addresses. A secretary wanted to know why Aeries doesn't have a pop-up or something if the parent creates a Portal Account with a different email address than what is in Contacts. And, vice versa, if someone adds or changes an email address in Contacts, why doesn't it say Doesn't Match Portal Account email, or something like that. Specifically if the Contacts page is set to Yes for Parent Portal. Geez, I hope that makes sense.
Thank you!!!

Currently contacts only allows for 1 address field. It would be nice if a 2nd address field could be added to be able to add home address and mailing address. Specifically for students who have parents that live and receive mail at 2 different locations. This would also help line up fields with AERIES and SEIS integration.

If parent/guardian is updated on sibling, parent/guardian gets updated on all siblings.

Use case: Staff at school site only have access to update contacts at their school site. A contact (ie. Parent/Guardian) is on a sibling record at another school site and we would like to keep the data (f.name, f.name, email, address, all phone #'s) sync'd.

We have families turning on notifications for other emergency contacts ( example neighbors ).

It would be amazing if the emergency contact could get access to either accept the record, update their unique record, or remove their unique notification preference for the student not in their family.

Maybe a work flow to send an email to the contact saying: "You have been added to as an emergency contact for "John Smith" at "Eagle High School" . If this is an error, please click here to remove your record ( one-time link that expires after ~7 days ).

The CON.AN (Attendance Notification) field in Contacts defaults to blank. It should default to No.

The records on the Contacts page should be sorted with "Primary Contact" records at the top of the list.

Also there should be some additional visual distinction to highlight the record. ( Green/yellow box around Primary Contacts , red box around flagged contacts ).

The goal is to have more visual distinction.

Add a field to the contacts form indicating who is authorized to pick-up the student. Not all contacts may have this permission and in the event of emergency, this information is very important.

Allow Teachers to be able to see Contact information in the portal and to email students and parents for students that have a DNR (Records Release) tagged on Demographics. Currently with the STU.DNR flag in place, both parents, students, and teachers are restricted from viewing this information. Teachers should be able to see this information.

Right now, CON LW (Lives with), ERH (Ed rights holder), and CD (code) display either directly under the contact name IF there's no address, or under the relationship IF there is an address. For consistency, it would be really nice to be able to scan down a page of contacts for information without having to read each line horizontally as well as vertically.
