Don't include planning/specials in grades
I want to use the grade book system but I don't want all of my classes to show up when I click classes because I create some classes to show my day rather than it be an actual class that students attend. For example, (my planning, speech that my students attend, gym, or specials) I use as a class so that I know what happens next that day but I don't want it to show up in my grade book as a class to choose from. It just gets confusing in the grade book menu. Other than that, I LOVE…
4 votesGood news! If you select the “No Students” check box for a class, this will now automatically hide the class in your grade book and student attendance. Hope that helps, any questions please let us know. Thanks!

Add template title
Please add the ability to create a "template name" for each template one creates. This way it will be easier to find a template one is looking for - and then if you could add a sort option to the templates list then one could sort them by class, template name, day, etc. Thanks you

keep planbook as a planner
I am worried that playbook becomes too clever and then looses its essential brilliance as a planner. Don't add mark books, quizess, surveys etc. I use noodle for that.

Have search box search titles of lessons
Some of my lessons from the previous year haven't shown up in the correct spots, and I thought it was because I taught them at a different part of the day (and put them in a different class spot). Therefore, I searched for the title of the lesson and didn't find them. I realized that it only found information in the Lesson section of my plans. It would be nice if when you searched, it searched in all sections of the class plans.

School wide Grading Periods and Letter Grades
Allow for the administrator to be able to make changes that impact all teachers without having to go into each teacher's account. The school has a grading scale and it would be less time consuming if the administrator could create grading scales and other things that apply to the school as a whole without having to go into each account.
4 votesGood news, administrators can now set up school years, grading periods, and letter grades for all teachers at their school! To learn more, visit our knowledge base at https://planbook.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1946905-school-years-administrator

Improve the UI
The features are nice so far but there is much to be desired on the look of the platform. Also, the drag and drop feature for moving lessons is very touchy and it isn't as smooth as it could be.
4 votesWe’ve updated our user interface, to make our editors cleaner and more intuitive for teachers, students, and administrators. In addition, to assist our users with disabilities, we’ve added support for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 to all our web pages.

Allow comments from individual administrators
Hello we are looking at the comments section and one part that would be helpful if you could add in is under the "Name" section we can only see who the message is written to but not who it is from. The reason we are having this problem is because we are two administrators and we would like to see who wrote the comment

Visual Lock for Locked Lessons
Put a lock in the upper right corner of each lesson where the lesson is locked to that specific date. This would omit the need to go and check back at which lesson you have locked and which ones you have not. :)

Create a Specific Sub Template
It would be great to have a specific Sub Template that includes the schedule, plans, plus the sub notes, all in one. Additionally, the template could have large gaps between the classes to provide room for substitutes to leave notes on how each class period went.
4 votesOn the Sharing Options page, you can now create a unique “Substitute View”. In this view, you can define exactly what information your substitutes will see, and you can also include “View Notes” to store any common information that will assist the substitute in managing your classroom. Hope that helps, any questions please let us know. Thanks!

Sharing of Specific Week Only
Allow sharing of a specific week OnLy -- currently sharing settings allow for a link to be created which gives access to the current week as well as previous week and/or the entire school year. I would like a sharing link that allows for OnLy the current week to be viewed.
4 votesGood news! You can now control the View Range when you share information with your students. This allows you to limit the information you share for both future and prior lessons.

Export Attendance
Now that we can keep track of attendance is there going to be anything added in which we can export the attendance for the class? Or at the very least, check it on the website. We can take attendance, but I haven't seen a way to go back and look at an overview of attendance either by student or by class.
4 votesFrom the Grades page, the Print to PDF button will allow you to print or export your student attendance. When you can, give it a try and let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Make easier to edit/copy tables
Editing tables is very cumbersome. It's too hard to change the size and edit/move text within a table.
Make it possible to copy a table from one lesson to the next without having to copy the whole lesson
4 votesOur latest version of Planbook offers a new and improved Table Editor! When you can, try it out and let us know what you think!

Make a "baseline" year
I want to be able to make a baseline year that has all of my units and lessons exactly as they are in my pacing guides. It's not working for me to copy from previous years because I make too many changes that I don't want to keep for the next year. I went back to a year before I started using planbook to create this myself, but it's a challenge since the calendar defaults to the current year. If the baseline could exist without being tied to a particular year, that would be helpful.

Add a private notebook
Accessible under the 'Go To' section, so teachers can record behaviour details etc. without it being visible on the home page.
4 votesTo allow our teachers more flexibility in the creation and management of Notes and To Do items, we have moved these to their own page in Planbook!
And to allow teachers to quickly view upcoming items, we have added a Reminders panel, to show events, classwork, notes and todos that are due in the next 7 days.
To view the Reminders panel, click the "Reminders" icon in the upper right corner of your Plans page.

The Ability to Move Classes to non-class days
My weekly teaching schedule is quite fluid, and often I will have classes that get moved to day that is not normally a scheduled class day. It would be great it Planbook had to flexibility to allow moving individual classes to days when the class is not normally scheduled.
4 votesTo move a class to a non-class day, you can use the Add menu to “Add Extra Lesson”. This will allow you to create a new lesson for your class on any day you need. There is no limit to the number of extra lessons you can add for a class, and is absolutely fine to have more than one lesson for a class on a single day. Hope that helps, any questions just let us know.

Create a weekly to do list
I would love to be able to keep a weekly to do list with my plans. For example, enter grades every Monday, sharpen pencils every Tuesday, etc. Attaching these tasks to my daily plans, and keeping them consistent throughout the year, would help me stay organized.
4 votesYou can now set your To Do items to repeat daily or weekly! This is a wonderful way to maintain reminders of your weekly classroom tasks. When you mark it as done, it will vanish from your Reminders panel, and then reappear the following week!
To set up daily or weekly To Do items, go to your Notes & To Do page, and click the "Add" icon to add a new item.
