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. Timetables can be viewed in any number of formats and can be used to access class and student information. The integration with your timetable package is tight 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. You can also search on room availability.

- SMS and Email alerts – send parents instant notification for student absence. 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.
- 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.
- Communication – bulletins are delivered and received within Daymap and highlight to the user. Outlook integration means email is accessible within Daymap and linked with each user and user group.
- Outlook Integration - is woven into Daymap so the user can view and access emails and tasks. Appointments are viewed within the timetable framework and can be categorised and managed as interviews, professional development or whatever you choose.
- Late arrivals – students who arrive late to school are recorded using swipe card and touch screen technology and managed within Daymap.
- Sharepoint and Moodle integration * – whether you have an existing intranet, Sharepoint sites or Moodle sites, all of these can be linked and managed within the structure of Daymap. Enjoy all the functionality you have come to enjoy.
- Managed Sharepoint - Calendaring, resource booking, 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'.
- Hosted Daymap – all you need is a web browser and we take care of the rest. This is a great option if you are low on technical resources and infrastructure and would like a ‘low risk’ solution. Hosted Daymap is offered in cost effective modules, so you can turn on new feature sets when and if needed. Click here for more information….
