Lunch Roster PDF (Mini-Release)

Azroy KandanLeave a comment

We just released a few minor improvements to the Lunch Ordering app in order to support a new and improved PDF Template for the Lunch Roster PDF. If you have installed the “PDF Templates” App (currently in Beta), you can now select the “New Lunch Roster Report” PDF template. This template allows you to include additional pages for (1) Teacher Orders and (2) Summary of Orders, as well as show/hide Homeroom details.

The Lunch Roster PDF now sorts pages by Grade Level, and sorts columns by Meal Sort Order too. Check out these apps on our QuickSchools App Store:

This app allows administrators to change, configure and customize PDF Templates for other modules like Fee Tracking, Lunch Order, Master Scheduler and others (depending on the apps/modules that you have installed):
