PDExpress 2013 in Development

PDExpress 2013 is in development and will be the most exciting, feature rich version of PDExpress we have ever delivered!

PDExpress 2013 will feature a new design that makes it possible to do more with less effort.  For example, the new Manage > Staff page will enable you to view and update all related information about a staff member’s in and out-of-district activities, credentials, documents, plans, etc.  It will make it even easier to search, sort, filter and export information from virtually any page.

PDExpress 2013 will also include an expanded eMail feature enabling you to compose HTML-rich messages, save templates for later use, attach documents and incorporate variables that are mailmerged at the time a message is sent.

We’ve posted a brief preview video in the Support Center under Tutorials > PDExpress 2013.

While PDExpress 2013 will have a new look, our goal was to retain the familiar navigation menus so teachers and administrators will be comfortable getting around. The new version is scheduled for release in September, 2012 and will be available to all current customers at no charge.
