In some studios, many of the students have different last names from their parents. Also sometimes the students are the ones who bring in their payments to class. This means that teachers do not collect payments from the parents. The problem is that when the students pay, it takes time to match the student to the responsible parent.

There are a few possible options here.
​
Option #1
In the parents names, you could put the students name in parenthesis. This would allow you to quickly see which parent is associated with which student without having to look up the student.
​
Option #2
There is a report that you can run that is called Student Contact List. It is under reports in your studio. There are several options in creating this report including parents name. This would allow you to quickly see which student goes with which parent.
​
Option #3
This options involves setting the student's attendance. This could be done right as the student pays.
Go to your Calendar. Click on the event. Click on Set Attendance. Scroll down and you can enter the payment for the student without needing to know who the parent is.
