preview the next student ID and admission number
New feature shipped to Inkwelly— India's most actively developed school management software. This change is in production at real Indian schools today, not on a roadmap.
- Admissions numbering: The student-ID and admission-number setup screen now shows the exact next ID a new student will be given, with a colour-coded breakdown of each part — prefix, school code, year and serial number — so office staff understand the format at a glance. See the student records module.
- Continue an existing series: Schools switching from another ERP can start the next number from any value and choose whether student IDs and admission numbers reset each academic year or keep counting continuously — making it easy to carry forward an existing admission register without a break in the sequence.
- Admission form: When auto-numbering is on, the student ID and admission number now show read-only on both the web and mobile admission forms, displaying the exact number that will be assigned so office staff can't accidentally type over it.
This isn't a roadmap. It's already running in your competitor's school.
Every update on the Inkwelly changelog is in production at real Indian schools today. If you're tired of ERP vendors who promise features for “next quarter”, let's talk. We run a 90-day paid pilot with a pro-rata refund and full data export.
