Sort by Remaining before printing
In Admissions → Fee Defaulters Total Amount or Fee Defaulters Family Wise, choose Sort by → Remaining. Use the ascending arrow for smallest balances first or descending for largest balances first. The server orders student balances before paging, using the same included challans, payments, discounts and fee freezes as the displayed Remaining amount. Future Challans keeps its existing meaning. Use Default order to reset.
Family Wise keeps each family’s loaded children together with their subtotal. Families follow the first child encountered in the sorted response; this sorts student balances, not family subtotals. A family can continue on another page. Browser Print keeps the loaded order and rows; exports use checked rows, or the loaded grid when none are checked. Printing and sorting record no payment and send no message. Month Wise retains its existing sort choices.
Edit payment follow-up details
In the new layout of Finance → Fee Defaulters → Family Wise or Month Wise, edit Promise Date or Comments on a student row. Promise Date saves when you leave its field. Comments save when you leave the field or pause typing for two seconds, matching Total Amount. A saved message confirms success; a failed save shows an error and restores the previous value.
These follow-up details belong to the student and are shared across reports and that student's challans. Refresh another report or another challan row to see a saved change. Family and Grand Total rows cannot be edited. Editing follow-up details does not change fee amounts, record a payment or send a message. The old layout stays available with its original behavior.
Open Fee Defaulters Family Wise
Open Admissions → Fee Defaulters Family Wise.
Choose your layout
Classic opens first unless you save another default. Try the new layout and View old layout switch both ways. A layout in the page address takes priority for that visit. Failed default saves keep your previous choice and offer Retry. These three reports share one layout choice. Switching on the same report keeps its filters, page size, page number and checked rows. Existing links to other screens keep their original handling.
Original report scope
The existing report uses students and family numbers. Family subtotals and the Grand Total are calculated from the loaded server page, so a family may continue on another page. Column filters, sorting, page size and All Students keep their original requests. The existing family-number link opens family payment separately. No payment action is added here.
Files and browser Print
Excel and PDF export checked rows, or the loaded grid when none are checked. Browser Print includes all loaded rows and their original totals regardless of checked rows; it does not fetch more pages. The original wide report may need browser landscape or scaling. Search, paging and column choices retain their original behavior.
Loading and recovery
In the new layout, failed or pending report and column-setting reads hide stale rows and print and block report controls. Retry loads the failed query again. Existing access and financial values remain unchanged.
