Wating List
Next, teachers have the Waiting List. This is made up of 4 sections:
- Waiting List
- Under Consideration
- Teacher Accepted
- Declined Offers
What appears for your teachers will depend on if you have Allow Teachers to Manage Waiting Lists enabled in Teachers tab of the Settings menu.
This is a list of all the pupils who have applied to a prospectus assigned to that teacher. You can find out more about setting up a Prospectus here. Depending on the access you have given your teacher in the Teacher section of the System Configuration menu, the waiting list may be a list they can view, or they may be able to accept and reject people on the waiting list.
Clicking the eye icon will show the teacher information about the applicant including their; age, school year, subject, current level, duration, preferred start date, and when they applied.
Clicking the envelope icon displays a message window where the teacher can send the applicant a message regarding their application.
We'll now split this guide into two sections, Allow, or Don't Allow when discussing below.

Accepting Offers
If the teacher accepts a pupil from the waiting list, a pop-out window as above will appear.
Select subject - first, the teacher needs to select the Subject the pupil will be studying.
Lesson Name - next the teacher will be able to select the lesson the pupil will be part of. By default, Teachers can only select from the existing lessons they teach. However, if they tick Show all lessons, this will display a full list.
Pricing Options - this field will default to the charge the applicant selected as part of the application process, but teachers can change this. If the applicant has chosen to hire an instrument, the teacher can accept that here too. This does not assign them a specific instrument but will go onto the resources required list.
Offer Details - the teacher can use the offer details to add any additional information they wish to tell the pupil.
Please select the start date of the pupil - finally, they need to select the date of when the pupil will start the tuition.
Save - press this to confirm the acceptance.
