Any software system is only as good as the information that goes into it.
If you provide your teachers and staff with a system which is easy to use and useful, they will use it. It’s a very simple concept and often overlooked. Provide them with a difficult system and they will find ways to avoid it as much as possible.
Daymap is the type of software that everyone uses enthusiastically. It is easy and it is useful. The benefits simply flow on from this one small detail.

Daymap is a web based system that is affordable for all schools and requires little or no expense for additional infrastructure and licencing. We also have a unique hosted solution for those schools which use 'The Timtabler' and would prefer to outsource the technical support and maintenance. Click here for more information.
- Personalised access – your DayMap home page takes you to all information relevant to you. Everything you need to get through your day is either visible instantly or only a click away. Access is available for staff, students and parents.
- Timetable delivery – DayMap is structured on the schools timetable and provides intuitive navigation. The integration with your timetable package is seamless and completely automated.
- Find function – such a simple requirement - the find function is available to all staff. Find the current whereabouts of any teacher or student and view their timetable.

- SMS Communications management – send bulk or individual SMS communications to parents or parent groups for attendance and adhoc messages. Completely managed and controlled within Daymap.
- Student management – besides photos and common student information, DayMap collaborates and categorises feedback from all teachers and staff to give an overall picture of a student’s progress, strengths and weaknesses. DayMap also records special needs and highlights these on each teacher’s class list.
- Online custom forms – online data forms can be created for storing custom student information such as incident reports or structured student learning plans.
- Online student reports – advanced reporting capabilities using the MS Word 2007 xml templates to create hierarchical student reports that can be based on any of the information stored in DayMap and with the ability to be extended to read from other school databases.
- Progress reporting – using a system of GPA (Grade Point Average) this is an excellent way to track a student’s performance based on any number of criteria. Data can be benchmarked against class, school or subject and can be used for trend management.
- Assessment management – set assessment tasks, receive, mark and comment online. Tasks can be weighted, graded and exported to your reporting package.
- Resource Booking – powerful, accessible and providing a visual overview of resource availability. Rooms are automatically linked to your timetable and resources can be linked to rooms or other resources for ease of management.
- Communication – bulletins are delivered and received within DayMap and highlighted to the user. Outlook integration means that a users email, tasks and appointment are woven into DayMap.
- Late arrivals – students who arrive late to school can be recorded using swipe card and touch screen technology and managed within DayMap.
- Managed Sharepoint – calendaring, course builders, blogs, forums, shared class sites and the list goes on – we can provide it all for you. Often referred to as the Microsoft Learning Gateway, Sharepoint has a rich feature set and extensive customisations available. DayMap provides the tools to manage and control Sharepoint so that it becomes a more accessible tool for the whole school, not just those ‘in the know’.
