We’re pleased to share the NextOS June release updates.
We’re continuously working to make NextOS better—so you can accomplish tasks more easily, make smarter decisions, and breeze through your daily work.
These release notes will keep you informed, help you explore new features, and ensure you’re getting the most out of what’s new.
23+ Features are added
What’s New : Two new dashboards — Chat and School Feed — added to the Communication Dashboard, with date-range filters and previous-period comparison. Chat covers growth, activity, and group types; School Feed covers posts, audience reach, engagement, and top tags.
Benefit : A single, detailed view of engagement across Chat and SchoolFeed alongside existing channels.
Path : Collaboration > Communication > Communication Dashboard > Chat / School Feed tabs
What’s New : A new Edit History section (accessible from Student List and Student 360) shows a filterable log — Timestamp, Action Type, Student ID/Name/Class, Changed Fields (old → new), and who made the change. A “+X more field(s) changed” link expands entries with several changes.
Benefit : Complete, filterable audit trail of student record changes in one place.
Path : Student > Student List / Student 360 > Edit History
What’s New : Attachments over 7MB are now sent as download links (1-year validity) with no cap on file count.
Benefit : Send circulars or announcements with larger or more attachments without hitting size limits.
Path : Communication > Mailbox > Compose
What’s New : Forms can now integrate with the Staff module to automate data collection. Admins build a form, add fields (including custom Text Fields like Father/Mother Name if needed), link it to Staff under Integration, and share it with selected staff or departments. Staff fill it out via Messages → Forms on the mobile app, and responses sync automatically to the Staff List..
Benefit : Avoid the double work, Collect Staff 360 details directly from Staff.
Path : Staff > Forms > Select Recipients
What’s New : A new “Route – Service” Smart Group type auto-creates a chat group with all parents of mapped students, the driver, attendant, and transport in-charge for that route. Membership refreshes daily.
Benefit : Ready-made, always up-to-date communication group per transport route for trip updates.
Path : Communication > Chat > Smart Group > Route – Service
