Staff & assignments

Create teachers and staff, open their accounts, and assign them to their classes.

1. Create a staff member

1. Open the Staff module. Menu Staff → Add member.
2. Fill in the record. Last name, first name, role (teacher, supervisor, accountant…), contact. The role determines the possible assignments.
3. Save. Save creates the record; the member appears in the list.

2. Open an account & assign a role

A staff record is not access on its own: a user account is needed to sign in.

1. From the record, create the account. Create account: a username is proposed and an initial password is set (the user will change it).
2. Assign a role. Choose the role (e.g. Teacher). Rights are based on actions, not a fixed role — see Roles & permissions.

Tip

In a small school, the administrator often is the teacher: one account can hold both roles and will be able to enter grades.

3. Assign a teacher to a class

1. Open Assignments. Menu Assignments, or from the class, the Subjects tab.
2. Link teacher + class + subject. Add, then choose the class, subject and teacher. Repeat for each subject they teach.

Careful

A teacher only sees the classes and subjects assigned to them. If a class is missing, check their assignment here.
