Guardian Management

Overview

Edvronix extends the standard Frappe Education Guardian doctype with CNIC fields and image storage. Guardians are linked to students and serve as the payer on fee invoices.

Adding a Guardian

1. Go to Education → Guardian → New
2. Fill in:

Field	Description
Guardian Name	Full name
Relationship	Father, Mother, Uncle, etc.
Mobile Number	Primary contact
Email	Used for notifications
CNIC No (custom_cnic_no)	Guardian's national identity card number (added by Edvronix)
CNIC Image (custom_cnic_img)	Scanned copy of the CNIC (added by Edvronix)

3. Save

Linking a Guardian to a Student

1. Open the Student record
2. Go to the Guardian Details section
3. Click Add Row
4. Select the Guardian and set the Relationship
5. Save

A student can have multiple guardians. The primary guardian is used for fee vouchers and reports.

Guardian as Customer (Payer)

When creating fee invoices in ERPNext, the Customer field maps to the guardian (not the student directly). Ensure each guardian has a corresponding ERPNext Customer record for the accounts ledger to work correctly.

Workspace Quick Action

From the Edvronix Workspace, click the Guardian shortcut to create a new Guardian record quickly during the admissions process.

CNIC Storage

Storing guardian CNICs is a common requirement for Pakistani schools for identity verification. Edvronix adds:

• custom_cnic_no — text field for the CNIC number
• custom_cnic_img — attachment field for the scanned CNIC image

Both fields are safe custom fields managed via Edvronix fixtures.
