control who can read and write each student's diary
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.
Student Diary: Principals now decide in Diary settings who can read and write diary notes, and about which students — every staff member, only a teacher's own classes, or rules for chosen staff, departments, grades, classes or single students. Write-only access suits gate and bus staff. See the student information module.
Diary heads: Schools name diary heads with full access — private staff notes, who wrote each note, editing or deleting any note, and the behaviour insights. Access rules copy forward to the next academic year in one click.
Diary settings: A redesigned settings page with a side menu, staff photos next to every name, clear on/off switches, and a "check a staff member" preview that explains exactly what each teacher can do.
Edit and delete notes: Teachers can edit or delete their own diary notes at any time from the teacher app. Parents see an Edited label when a note changed after they read it, and principals keep a list of deleted notes.
Teacher app: The diary now shows every note a teacher is allowed to read, with a By me filter and pull-to-refresh on every screen. A missing permission now says "you don't have access" instead of a misleading "session expired" screen.
