eSkool

A computer is now in almost any work and leisure environment. Possibilities when using one are only limited by your imagination, and there are even specialized applications for better management of education systems. For instance, eSkool comes with powerful database management and tracking tools for schools.

The first launch recommends you create a new account so that all information stays safe. You can choose to work with a sample database to quickly get accustomed with the set of features, or start from scratch by manually adding all data. Sooner or later you need to fill in all details yourself.

It’s a good idea to first pay a visit to the Settings section in order to fill in the default details of your institutions, such as name and contact details, including a logo. This especially comes in handy if you later on want to print official data, so that everything is in order. These details can be changed at any moment.

A main menu provides quick access to all categories of the applications, such as students, majors, staff, timetable, accounting, and reports. Most of your initial work is focused on the first four categories. Don’t worry though, the overall process of adding information is incredibly intuitive, with clear fields to fill in.

Students are displayed in card-like items, showing a summary of info and the profile picture. You can search for a particular student, and apply filters for candidates and admitted. The entire sheet can be printed out, and adding a new student is done by filling in corresponding details, a student ID which is automatically generated, and an optional picture.

As far as the majors category is concerned, it is the place to fill up all course related data. Entire categories can be managed, while a new track requires a valid name, code, study system, number of semesters, cycle, diplomat, as well as minimum and maximum grades.

The staff category is similar to that of students, but it handles teachers instead. They’re managed in a similar mode, but structured in categories. Adding new items and editing are performed in intuitive windows, and just like the editing a student, a staff member page takes you through attendance, schedules, paychecks, and account.

Everything is put together in the timetable section. Here is where you can structure classes and evaluations on the long run. Information can also be organized in groups.

Accounting is where monetary management comes in. It allows you to view school fees, wages, and cash registry. A search field lets you manually look up individuals, but individuals are available in a side panel for selection to view and manage info, such as paychecks and salary.

The reports section is where you get an overview of school fees, paychecks, expenses, incomes, and net. A neat graph is displayed for several time periods, but there’s no export function.

ESkool is a powerful school management application overall. The fresh interface is sure to make things comfortable right from the start. A variety of categories can be managed, ranging from students and classes, to staff and accounting.
