About Users
What the Users area is for, who uses it and where to start.
Users is the school's directory. It holds four lists, one per kind of person: Parents, Students, Teachers and Other staff. Every list has the same layout: a count of people at the top, a search box, a table, and an Add button for new records.
School admins use it to add and correct records. Teachers can open a student's profile from My students, and parents and students see their own profile from their portal.
The pages
- Parents: one record per family, with the father, mother, guardian and emergency contact. Reset a parent's login here.
- Students: the roster. Add a student, place them in a class and link their family in one form.
- Teachers: the teaching staff, with today's attendance, class teacher flag and login reset. Open a full profile for HR details.
- Other staff: non-teaching staff such as office, transport and support staff.
- Student profile, Parent profile and Teacher profile: the detail pages you open by clicking a name in a list.
The usual order of work
- Add the family first, or add the student and enter a parent's national ID in the same form so the family is created for you.
- Add each student with their class. Brothers and sisters join the same family through the parent's national ID.
- Add teachers, then assign them to classes in Classes.
- Add other staff.
- Check the Login column and use Reset login when someone cannot sign in.
Moving students between classes, promotions, withdrawals, leave, payroll and the other less frequent tasks live under Misc.
