This week's updates bring more flexibility to your communication and data collection tools in ampEducator.
We’ve introduced a new custom field type called Select Picker.
- Similar to a Select List, but allows you to select multiple options
- Can be used in both Student and Prospect profiles
- Fully supports multi-select filtering in both lists
- Available when creating or editing custom fields under Institution Config
This new field type helps institutions collect more flexible data without needing to create multiple separate fields.


When sending a signature request for a Student contract, you can now select from your existing email templates. This allows you to customize the message Students receive when asked to review and sign their contract.
Note: Staff and third-party recipients will still receive the default email format.

We’ve added more flexibility to how custom fields are managed and displayed across ampEducator. Here's what's new:
Field Display Control: When creating or editing a custom field, you can now choose where it will appear in the Student Profile using the new ‘Field Display In’ dropdown. Options include: Details, Admin, Other, Custom, Emergency, and Education.
Section-Based Organization: The Custom Fields list is now grouped by section for better organization and easier management.
- Wider Visibility: Custom fields now display in the appropriate section for Students, Prospects, and can also be visible in both the Student Portal and Agent Portal.
- Applies to All Records: Field placements apply seamlessly to both existing and new records, making it easier than ever to tailor ampEducator to your institution’s needs.

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Student Deposits feature in ampEducator! Institutions can now easily invoice, collect, manage, and apply student deposits toward future fees.
- Deposit Invoicing: Users can now add deposits as invoice items by clicking the bank icon in the invoice. Simply add a description and total amount, then save the deposit and post the invoice as usual.
- New Deposits Section: Once a deposit invoice is paid, the amount will appear in a new Deposits section under Students / Accounts / Deposits. Deposits are only shown here once payment is applied.
- Apply or Unapply Deposits: Deposits can be applied to specific invoices or charges by expanding the deposit and selecting which items to apply or unapply from—similar to the process used for payments and adjustments.
- Student Account Summary Integration: The total deposit available for each Student will be displayed in their Account Summary for easy reference.
- Deposit Activity Tracking: All deposit actions, including applied amounts, are recorded under the Activity tab as ‘Deposit Applied,’ with a reference to the related invoice or charge.
- New Deposits Tab in Accounts: A dedicated Deposits tab is now available under Home / Accounts, where you can view all deposit transactions across the institution.
- The default account for deposits is 2100 Deposits, configurable under Institution Config / Accounts / Defaults. Account codes can be adjusted if needed.
