Tasks in Olamma, with sample data

Start every term
organised

Run the start of term as a project: the timetable, consent forms, supplies and the staff training day, each with an owner, a date and the steps that go with it.

Every record,
in its place

Admissions, fees, clubs and the term's events, each in a table with the right field for every value. See the same records as a grid, a board, a gallery or a calendar.

Every application on a board by status: applied, interview, offered, enrolled. Drag a card to move it on.

Forms parents
fill on their phone

Applications, consent forms and club sign-ups: build the form from the table it fills, and parents answer from one link on any phone.

The application form on a parent's phone
  1. 01

    Build it from your table

    Every field can be a question. Add sections, help text and a cover in your school's colour.

  2. 02

    Share one link

    Send it on WhatsApp or put it on your website. Parents need no account to answer.

  3. 03

    Answers land as rows

    Each application arrives in your admissions table, and your staff can get an email for each one.

Features
  • Steps and sections

    Split a long form into pages, like 'About your child' and 'About you'.

  • Show or skip

    Ask a question only when an earlier answer matches.

  • Documents and photos

    Let parents attach a birth certificate or a report card.

  • An email for each answer

    Up to ten staff can get each answer, with a link to its row.

  • Open or closed

    Close the form when applications end, and open it again next year.

  • Spam kept out

    A hidden trap turns away bots without bothering parents.

Answer parents
wherever they write

WhatsApp, email and chat on your parents' help site arrive in one inbox. Assign each question to the right person, leave notes only staff can see, and let an AI agent answer from your published articles.

Features
  • WhatsApp, email and chat

    One inbox for every way parents get in touch, with a linked WhatsApp number.

  • Right person, every time

    Assign, snooze and resolve, so no parent waits unseen.

  • Notes for staff

    Talk a question over beside it. Parents never see it.

  • An AI agent, if you want one

    It answers from your help articles only, says which it used, and hands over when it should.

A help site
parents can search

Fees, term dates, uniform and buses: publish the answers once, on your school's own help site. Parents find them on any phone before they need to ask, and you see what they searched for and couldn't find.
