THaines Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Afternoon all Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine! Our Librarian has asked whether we could potentially use Frog to notify students of their overdue library books, rather than sending letters home to the students' parents like she does now. We did come up with the idea of assigning this as a homework but I'd imagine this would be quite a big job, going through all the overdue books and adding assignments individually for each child etc. We are FrogLearn only and use Oliver as our library management system so there isn't any integration between the two. Any ideas? Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 What about sending an image to the student via FrogDrive? It would appear on their timeline and their parents can see it: Or have a message on the students dashboard only visible to students in the Overdue group. Any overdue students could be added to the group and removed from it when they return the library. Your librarian can manage groups using the Groups and Policies app (the policies will be locked out for her) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADT Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Or if you could give Oliver.... Heritage.... MLS................. a rocket up the backside....... and tell them to get on with building a widget like they all used too have for Frog 3.......................................................................................................

Graham Quince Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Do you have a contact for Oliver (or any of the others)? I'm happy to pass on and see if we can work with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THaines Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks for this @Graham Quince, a few good ideas, although it sounds like it might be more a faff than it already is, so we might just stick to letters for now...I don't have a specific contact at Oliver. Our Account Manager was a lady called Donna Merritt (donna.merritt@softlink.co.uk) but no idea if she still works there or not as I don't often have to contact them.

Sue Busher Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 @Graham Quince We use Oliver Softlink system too and it just doesn't integrate with Frog as it used to with Frog 3, so we certainly aren't using it to its full capability. Did you get anywhere with this? Appreciate it is a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Hi Sue At the time, I did pass this on to the product team, but we have not prioritised this development since, I'm afraid. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
