Graham Quince's post in Forms Control was marked as the answer
Hi @pdurber
Sorry, i took last week off. The User Picker field in forms can serve this purpose. You can limit it to students, which will then just list a parent's children.

Hi @Sean_M
Unfortunately there appears to be an error in the Timelines database. I'll need to create a ticket for you and have a developer take a look.

Graham Quince's post in Students pressing hand-in without uploading was marked as the answer
Hi @Hardeep
Unfortunately there isn't a programmed report to show that. You do need to click into each student in the assignment list to view that. You can return the homework to them, using the Reattempt assignment button.
Apologies for the delay in responding.

Graham Quince's post in Email question was marked as the answer
Hi - apologies that no one else has responded yet.
When you set up an email address, Frog will attempt to send you an email to verify your account. You may need to check your junk mail folder, in case it is in there.
Kind regards

Graham Quince's post in Messages frp, students was marked as the answer
Hi @katy
In the Messages app, if you click on the View button, you can change the option to All Messages. This will load in messages sent from everyone, instead of just yours. You will need to know the title of the message, but once located, you can click in the message to see who has opened each one.

There's a video guide for setting this:

The important bit, images are recommended to be either JPG or PNG file of 1680 pixels wide, by 900 pixels high around 200kb in size.

Graham Quince's post in Dashboard replication was marked as the answer
Hi @pdurber
This is where you have to get a little creative. I know Kris on our design team will use Nested Pages to add additional rows. At least each layout box will only be as high as it needs to be.

Graham Quince's post in Parents Evening Bookings was marked as the answer
Hi,
We looked into a Parents Evening booking system a while ago, but its a lot more complex that it first appears. In theory, you could use individual forms for each teacher, per slot (say 10 forms per page, each limited to one submission only). BUT that doesn't prevent parents from double-booking themselves.
I'll help you put a site together if you'd like, which can then be duplicated for each teacher.

Hi Paul,
Apologies for this. I'll leave Support to get to the bottom of it, but in the meantime, i've installed the site for you and made your Admin account the owner.

Graham Quince's post in Look up any student assignments was marked as the answer
There's also Assignment Monitor - which gives you access to all the assignments too. Paul built the Frogcode widget George mentions, because to use Assignment Monitor, you have access to all assignment information - including which teachers/departments are setting assignments.

Graham Quince's post in Assign to teachers? was marked as the answer
Hi @MarkB,
While you can't assign to teachers, you can use features like the Site List widget to display training sites to staff. The Site List widget ( https://www.frogeducation.com/community/training/widgetguides/r-z/site-list ) will only display sites which the user has access to, that way you can configure a whole bunch of training sites and display only the relevant ones to teachers.
You could consider implementing Presentation Mode ( https://www.frogeducation.com/community/training/sites/presentation ), which hides the site's menu, forcing staff to click through all the pages. I have found a Form at the end of a site is a good way of recording completion.
In the next release, you will also have access to three new widgets: The hotspot widget, the question widget and the SCORM widget. As far as I know, all three can be set to "turn off" the next button in Presentation Mode - forcing users to work through the activities.
We have built these new widgets as we have been creating a new product for workplace education, known currently as Frog Courses. Built using the same tech as FrogLearn, the functionality and language is designed around staff and managers. These courses can be assigned to staff and reports are generated on progress and completion. There are even certificates available for successful completion of a module. Courses has been built as separate from FrogLearn and the business needs to work out how best to offer this to schools. The user management is quite different. Not to get your hopes up, but the development needed to link this to a current FrogLearn is significant. It is likely this will be a paid addition rather than being included as part of your current licence, although the three, new widgets I mentioned are included in the FrogLearn licence.
If you are interested in learning more about Courses, drop me a line and I can arrange to show off its features.

Think I found your site. Try right-clicking on the image, and choose Image Properties. Then use an option in the Align dropdown.

Graham Quince's post in Frog assignments and marking. Have I missed something? was marked as the answer
Hi Mark,
There are a few things I'm keen to change on the assignments system and do try to keep the pressure on the Product and Development Teams. More voices from our schools certainly help with this.
@Matt keeps an eye on the forums and works directly with the Product Manager. I know he is keen to hear your ideas too.
While I'd agree that being able to send comments back to students while not releasing marks could be used to "mark" the students work, I'll point out that the comments wall has other purposes too (e.g. students struggling with work, needing to ask questions etc...) - so it's more an avenue for communicating with students rather than a marking tool. Having said that, I agree that not being able to release marks without closing the whole assignment and the earlier point you mentioned about not being able to send work back to a student unless you reopened work and will raise these point internally.
This feature has been part of the Assignment system since the launch of FrogLearn - so I can't speak to the original thinking. It's not been something a lot of people have raised with me - doesn't mean it's not a valid idea, just that we haven't had requests to change it.
Closing an assignment takes it off everyone's to-do list. A student can still contact you and request a chance to hand-in after closing - and yes, that does involve re-opening, waiting for the hand-in, and then closing, but the mechanism is there. You wouldn't want to be in a position where the homework was closed, it was moved to the closed tab and weeks later a student hand-ins work and you're not aware they have,
Like i say, I'll raise these issues internally and let you know our thinking.

Graham Quince's post in Clearing Photo Stream was marked as the answer
Unfortunately, you can't delete timeline assets this way. You can only delete via the Timeline. But if you duplicate the site, all the timeline assets are not copied over (by design).
Probably the quickest method to getting fresh timelines, is to duplicate the Year groups sites, unshare the old ones and share the duplicates.

Graham Quince's post in Curriculum Designer was marked as the answer
Yeah - I'm wrong.
We've turned on Curriculum Designer ahead of our conference. There's more development to come, including a Curriculum Viewer. You see Curr Designer is actually the editor and for our Progress schools, their teachers primarily access the learning lockers through Progression Charts - so if you have not activated a Curriculum, it doesn't show up.
We've made some changes to Designer to make it closer to a Lesson Planning tool and those features were ready - so we released it, but to make it a truly viable solution, we'll need some additional features.
@Matt - for your attention - correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi @pdurber,
If you like we can schedule a phone call and talk through the options. ePortfolios are really easy, but they do appear daunting.
