What’s New in Kriyo – May 2025

May’s release brings powerful enhancements across communication, attendance, fees, inventory, and security—designed to make everyday school operations smoother, clearer, and more reliable.

Rich Text Is Now Live in Diary

Make daily updates clearer, more expressive, and easier for parents to read.

You can now format Diary entries using bold text, bullet points, line breaks, and more. The new Rich Text Editor helps you highlight key information so important updates never get missed.

What this means for schools:

  • Better-structured daily updates
  • Clear emphasis on important points
  • Improved parent communication

Diary entries can be updated easily from the Kriyo School web app and are beautifully displayed to parents on the Kriyo mobile apps.

Enhanced Lesson Content with Rich Text Formatting

Create more engaging and well-organised lesson plans.

While creating lessons in the LMS on the Kriyo web app, teachers can now use rich text formatting—including bold, italics, hyperlinks, font colours, and font size. Video links can also be inserted directly within lesson sections for quick access.

Benefits:

  • Clearer lesson structure
  • Improved readability for staff
  • Seamless experience between web and mobile apps

All enhancements are fully visible to staff on the Kriyo mobile app.

QR Attendance Now Supports Multiple Check-In/Outs

Attendance tracking just became more flexible.

Schools can now record multiple Check-In and Check-Out entries using:

  • Manual attendance
  • QR scan
  • Geo-location–based QR scan

Previously, re-entry had to be marked manually. Not anymore. This update supports real-world scenarios like lunch breaks, half-days, or outdoor sessions.

Why it helps:

  • Saves time
  • Reduces manual errors
  • Ensures accurate attendance records

New Fee Receipts – More Professional and GST Compliant

Your fee receipts have received a major upgrade.

The new receipt format offers a cleaner, more professional design and is fully GST compliant, without changing existing workflows.

Schools can now:

  • Create custom fee receipt formats for each payment gateway account
  • Generate GST invoices for daycare or alternate billing names for admission kits

The updated format is automatically applied to all existing invoices, with no rework required.

You can access this from:

Admin Tools → Configurations → Customise Fee Receipts

(Please refresh your web app account to see the option.)

OTP Login Now Available on All Kriyo Apps

Secure, consistent access across the Kriyo ecosystem.

OTP-based login—earlier available only on the School and Parent apps—is now enabled on the Franchisor and Transport apps as well. This ensures a unified and secure login experience for all users.

Smarter Inventory Management on School & Franchisor Apps

Inventory workflows are now clearer and more efficient.

What’s new:

  • Notes section now supports up to 500 characters
  • All links added in notes are clickable. This is especially useful for franchisors sharing account details or payment links with franchisees directly within the order workflow.
  • Inventory summary is now displayed in a table format (instead of cards) on School and Franchisor web apps

These updates improve readability, sorting, and decision-making— especially useful for franchisors managing multiple centres.
