Scholaric Blog

The bump lessons feature in Scholaric is quite popular, in that it pushes lessons back in time, preserving your schedule while skipping holidays and vacations.  Many of you have been asking for the ability to do the opposite - to bring lessons forward in time.  This has been called "reverse bumping" by many of you.  Unfortunately the names "bump" and "reverse bump" are ambiguous to a new user.  I have adopted the names "bump later" for the existing function, and "bump earlier" for the new reverse bumping.  You will see these both in the new bump menu:

Bumping earlier works like the inverse of bumping later: to use it, go to the latest lesson you want to bump earlier, instead of the earliest.  Select bump earlier from the cell menu, and it will move incomplete lessons to an earlier date, following their schedule.

One minor change comes along with this feature - limits on bumping.  I no longer allow bumping to proceed out of the current period, as a measure of protection for you.
