What PowerVista RollCall is
PowerVista RollCall is school administration software for adult, vocational, trade, continuing, and professional education providers. It manages student records, class history, attendance, grades, invoicing, and progress toward certificates or degrees. Schools can change labels, dropdowns, reports, and student or prospect attributes without programming. Report and form writers send output to reports, email, Excel, or Word. RollCall links class registrations with Moodle enrollment and transfers final grades back. It exchanges invoices and payments with QuickBooks installed on a workstation, but remote QuickBooks installations are not supported. Web portals cover student, prospect, and public course registration. Administrators can use a browser through the optional Thinfinity Virtual UI add-on. The Windows administration application uses Microsoft SQL Server 2017, with SQL Server Express installed by default under PowerVista’s VAR license. A downloadable trial includes the complete application and a small test database.
