FAQs
-
Who can create field trips?
Field trips can be created by authorized administrative personnel, school coordinators, or transport managers depending on their assigned permissions within the platform’s multi-dimensional role-based access control (RBAC) matrix. The system ensures that users can only plan or modify excursions for the schools or domains they are authorized to manage.
-
Do I need to create a separate route for the students’ return trip back to school?
No, the platform simplifies excursion planning by handling round trips seamlessly. You can easily define both the outbound journey to the destination and the return trip back to the school within the same event structure, avoiding the need to build separate, disconnected itineraries from scratch.
-
Can we select only specific students to attend an event, such as a soccer match?
Yes, absolutely. Field trip management includes advanced student filtering and selection tools. You can easily pick individual students from specific classes or grades to build the exact participant list for an excursion (e.g., selecting only the school soccer team), ensuring accurate attendance tracking for that specific event.
-
If I select a vehicle that is already assigned to another route at that time, do I get a notification?
Yes. The platform features intelligent resource conflict detection. If you attempt to assign a vehicle, driver, or attendant to a field trip while they are already scheduled for a regular school bus route or another event at that exact time, the system will immediately issue a warning alert, preventing double-booking and ensuring operational safety.
