WILL IT INTERFACE WITH OUR SCHOOL DATABASE?
Most Music Monitor users import students’ personal details from a spreadsheet generated by their school database. This is then updated as required. Data from Music Monitor can be sent back to the school database via Excel spreadsheets, tab-separated or comma-separated text files, and a range of other options. It is usually possible to create a direct link between the school system and Music Monitor, so that every time Music Monitor is opened, the student details are automatically updated.
WHERE IS OUR DATA STORED?
At Music Monitor, we believe it's important that your data is YOURS. Your data is stored on site at your premises, on YOUR computer or server.

The FileMaker Go app can be downloaded free to iPads and iPhones allowing teachers to log in and mark ensemble rolls, class rolls, and lesson attendance on the iPad-friendly roll-marking screens. Login accounts with limited access privileges can be created for your teachers to use the system in this way.
OUR NEEDS ARE FAIRLY UNIQUE. IS IT CUSTOMISABLE?
