Troubleshooting
Q: "Class is full" error. A: Check the section capacity in Settings → Academics → Classes. Increase the capacity limit or create a new section.
Q: Admission number conflict. A: If you enter a manual admission number that's already taken, EduSuite OS will flag it. Use a different number or let the system auto-generate.
Q: Parent didn't receive the invitation. A: Go to the student profile → Parent Details → verify phone/email. Then click Resend Invitation.
