Filter by campus on the iPhone app and see everyone in its rooms

On the iPhone app, the location filter in an emergency roll only lets you pick one location at a time. There is no way to select a campus and see everyone within it — you have to filter each room separately, one after another.


Two things are needed, both of which the web app already does:


1. Select a campus and see everyone inside it. Picking Academic Campus should include the students in the Health Centre, Gymnasium, In Class and any other room within it — in one step.


2. Still be able to see only those on campus without a specific room. Some students are recorded at campus level rather than in a room, and being able to see just that group is genuinely useful.


The web app covers both today: the Summary panel on the right gives a one-click campus view with live counts, and the Filters panel lets you untick the rooms to isolate the campus-level students. The iPhone app has neither, so a staff member on their phone during a drill cannot get a campus overview at all.

I'm thinking of a scenario where I, or perhaps the principal, would want to get a quick overview of the entire school. From my phone, I can't currently do that because I must select each location individually. It would be much more useful to have the ability to filter by the academic campus and see everyone there at once… At the same time, I can also see a scenario where I would want to see those who are on campus but not in a specific room. If there's a way to make both scenarios easy to accomplish… that would be ideal.

Who is this feature for?
Campus Safety Managers, Principals, Senior Leadership, Teachers taking emergency rolls
Platform
Mobile Phone
What problem would this new feature help your school solve?
During an emergency roll or drill, staff need to know quickly who is on a campus. On a phone they cannot get that view - they have to filter room by room and hold the picture in their head. Leadership wanting a fast overview of the whole school has no way to get it from a phone.
How often does this problem happen?
Unpredictable (e.g. Emergency)
Describe the impact on your school if this problem remains unsolved?
Staff running a drill from their phone cannot see who is on a campus in one view. They either check each room in turn — slow, and easy to lose track of during a real incident — or they stop using the app and switch to a browser or laptop, which is not practical while walking a campus. For a campus safety role this is the moment the tool matters most.
Please list any other tools or platforms that you know of that offer similar functionality.
Orah's own web app already does both, so this is about parity between the iPhone app and the web app rather than matching a competitor.
