We’ve just released our new DanceWorks Online login screen. The most important thing to note is that you can still login the way you always did without doing anything differently. Just the big DanceWorks Online logo is missing, otherwise everything is the same. Things will also remain unchanged for your customers – the links you’ve already given them to login will continue to work the same as always. If you’re happy logging in as usual, you don’t need to read another word.

From your school specific login screen (the one that ends in ?schoolid=AKxxxxxxJ), you can now login using either your username and password, or you can use the email address associated with your username and your password. You’re not forced to login either way, both will work the same.

The biggest change to our login screen is a new feature allowing you to login to DanceWorks Online by going to mydanceworks.net – no need to go to your school specific login screen if you don’t want to. From that login screen, you will need to login using the email address and password associated with the user you want to login as. As you might already be thinking, this will only work if you associate different email addresses with different usernames. Should you need help with this, please let us know by submitting a support ticket. We’ll be happy to take a look at your existing usernames and help you make any necessary changes to allow all your usernames to login.

Over the next month DanceWorks Online will undergo a few changes that you should know about

• As of January 1, 2012, we will be discontinuing the “Classic” view of DanceWorks Online. We haven’t updated Classic with all the features you see in the newer version of DanceWorks Online, so you won’t be losing any functionality. If there is something you absolutely must have in DanceWorks Online Classic that you don’t think is available now, please let us know by submitting a support ticket and we’ll either add it in or let you know where you can find it now.
• In the first week of December, we’ll be introducing a new login screen for DanceWorks Online. It will appear largely the same as before, although you won’t see the giant DanceWorks Online logo any longer. It will also allow you to login to your school by simply going to mydanceworks.net and using the email address associated with any of your usernames instead of having to remember your full custom login link (your customers’ access to DanceWorks Online will remain unchanged). Once the new login screen is live, we will give you more details in a full write-up.
• Beginning with your January 1 billing cycle, you will be able to change your student subscription level and provide us with updated credit card or other billing information from any of your users marked “Admin”. Additionally, instead of suspending your access to DanceWorks Online if we can’t process your credit card, we’ll prompt you on login to enter new credit card information. This way, you’ll get instant access to DanceWorks Online rather than having to wait for us to turn it back on. We’ll also let your customers login regardless of whether we successfully processed your monthly payment.

We hope these changes will make things a bit easier for you and we’ll get more information out as each change is implemented.

Now you can enter credit card refunds in DanceWorks Online without having to enter a credit card number. All or part of any payment initially made via credit card and closed out can be refunded back to the credit card used to make the payment without needing to enter a credit card number.

To refund without entering a credit card number, click Enter Refund as normal, and then click the Refund a Specific Payment button. You’ll see a list of all that account’s credit card payments. Clicking Select will automatically populate the refund fields. Payments that have not yet been closed out cannot be refunded (you can delete these payments prior to closing your batch, no refund needed) and payments that have already been refunded may not be refunded again – you’ll receive a warning message for each situation.

After selecting the payment to refund, you’ll see a recap of the payment you’re refunding and have the opportunity to select the type of refund you’re processing. The type you select will determine how much of the refund applies to Income and Sales Tax. You’ll enter the total amount of the refund, which can be any amount up to the amount of the payment and DanceWorks Online will determine the appropriate amounts to allocate to income, Sales Tax 1 and Sales Tax 2. Entering your refund will place the refund into your batch for settlement, and it will be refunded back to the card initially used to make the payment.

You’re still able to process a refund in any amount to a specific card, but that does require having either the card information or the card present. Screenshots are below to show you the new options.
