Appointment Limits

How can I limit parents to one appointment per teacher? 

With the PTA (Parent Teacher Appointments) product, parents are limited to one appointment per student, teacher/class combination. 

What is PTAN?

ThePTAN default(Parent Teacher Appointment Number) controls how many appointments a parent can book with a teacher for eacha classgiven class. By default, this is oneset appointmentto 1 per parent / per teacher.class.

You can

To change this default to allow for more than one appointment for a specific class. If youit, go intoto the Class Editor andEditor, click on a teacher, youand willfind seethe theirPTAN classescolumn listed. Onon the far right-hand sideright of eachtheir class islist. aSetting column labeled PTAN (for Parent Teacher Appointments Number). If you increase thisit to 2, thenfor anyexample, parent of a student in that class can make 2 appointments with that teacher. If you only have some kids in the class you want to allow this for, then probably the best way to do this would be to create a new class and fill this class with your select group of kids. To do this, you would click on the correct teacher name in the Class Editor roster and then click on the Add Class button. Then you would add students to this class. For this new class, you could set the PTAN to 2. Thenlets any parent with a student in that class book 2 appointments with that teacher.

Allowing this for only some students: Since PTAN applies to an entire class, the best approach is to create a separate class containing just the students you want this rule to apply to:

In the Class Editor, click the teacher's name. Click Add Class. Add your selected students to this new class. Set the PTAN for this class couldto 2.

Now only parents of students in that specific class can book 2 appointments. 

Could you clarify the following settings: "one appointment per class" and "one appointment per teacher"?

Both these settings place additional limits on appointment bookings.

If you check the box "one appointment per class", then a parent with twins (or siblings) in the same class (same teacher) can only book one appointment.  

If you check the box "one appointment per teacher, then a parent with a student who has the teacher for two classes can only book one appointment. For example, if student A has teacher B for both Math and Science, the parent will only be able to book one appointment with teacher B.
