This help page covers:

Overview of Assigning Users to Classes

There are three tasks to be accomplished on this page:

          The top half of the page is used to select the type of users, class, and grade. The qualifying users will appear in the Available for adding text box in the lower left of the page.


          Using the Add and Remove buttons you assemble the roster of Users in class in the right-most text box.


          Using the Add Student to System button to add a new student to the system. The new student will then appear in the Available for adding text box in the lower left of the page. Please note that the right to add students must be granted to a teacher for this function to be available.


It is very important to remember that the class roster that appears in the Users in class text box (lower-right) will only reflect the user type and grade that is currently selected. In other words, if you have selected the user type student then only students can appear in either text box. If you have selected the user type teacher then only teachers assigned to that class will appear in Users in class.


Step-By-Step through Assigning Users to a Class

The first task is to identify the users to be assigned. You need to identify their school, then their user type, and finally their grade level.

  1. Click on the Select the school that contains the users that you will add to classes drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, select the school that is the source of the users.


  2. Click on the Select the type of user... drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, select the desired type of user.


  3. Click on the Select the grade level... drop box, again using scroll bar if necessary, pick the grade level of the users.


          Notice that the Available for adding text box on the left now lists all of the eligible users.


          Next you will select the destination class, the one that will receive the students. But first you have to identify its school.


  4. Click on the Select the school that contains the classes to which you will add users drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, choose appropriate school.


  5. Click on the Select the class to which you want to add students drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, choose the class you want to populate.


          Now the Users in class (text box on the right) lists all of the students currently assigned to the destination class. Please note that a user can only appear in one of the two text boxes, So if they are already assigned to the class, then they can't appear in the Available for adding list.


  6. In the Available for adding text box, using the scroll bar if necessary, click on the first user to add to the class.


          The user should appear highlighted, and thus ready to add to the class. Also note that the Add button is now active.


  7. Click on the Add button.


          The new user should have been added to the class roster listed on the right.


Hint - You can select multiple users:

          After selecting the first user, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click on additional users (Macintosh users should hold down the [Apple] key). Notice how they also become highlighted.

          You can also select a range of users (a contiguous group). Select the first one that appears in the list (starting at the top). Hold down the [Shift] key, then select the bottom-most user of the group. The entire group should now appear highlighted and ready to Add.


  8. Continue highlighting and adding users to the class until all desire users have been added to the class roster.


          At this time you can also use the Remove button to unassign students highlighted in the class roster listed in the right text box.


  9. Either, click on the Finished button to return to the Set Up Classes menu.

            OR

      Click on the Cancel button to return to the Set Up Classes menu.



Step-By-Step through Removing Users from a Class

This procedure is designed solely for removing students from a class. If you want to assign and remove students then you should use the previous procedure, Step-By-Step through Assigning Users to a Class.

           Since you are only removing students you can skip the first the first three drop boxes (which are used for selecting students to be assigned to a class).


  1. Click on the Select the school that contains the classes to which you will add users drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, choose the appropriate school.


  2. Click on the Select the class to which you want to add students drop box, then using scroll bar if necessary, choose the class roster you want to modify.


          Now the Users in class (text box on the right) lists all of the users (students, teachers, and administrators) currently assigned to the selected class.


  3. In the Users in class text box, using the scroll bar if necessary, click on the first user to be removed from the class.


          The user should appear highlighted, and thus ready to be removed from the class. Also note that the Remove button is now active.


  4. Click on the Remove button.


          Do not worry if the user you removed does not appear on the left. Your removed user may be from a different school or of a different user type or grade level than is being displayed on the left.


Hint - You can select multiple users:

          After selecting the first user, hold down the [Ctrl] key and click on additional users. Notice how they also become highlighted.

          You can also select a range of users (a contiguous group). Select the first one that appears in the list (starting at the top). Hold down the [Shift] key, then select the bottom-most user of the group. The entire group should now appear highlighted and ready to Remove.


  5. Continue highlighting and removing users from the class until all desired users have been moved.


  6. Either, click on the Finished button to return to the Set Up Classes menu.

            OR

      Click on the Cancel button to return to the Set Up Classes menu.



Step-By-Step - Adding a Student to the System

This procedure will let you add a new student to the system. The new student will then appear in the Available for adding text box in the lower left of the page. Please note that the right to add students must be granted to a teacher for this function to be available.

  1. Click on the Add Student to System button.


          The Add a new user page opens. After inputting the necessary user information, clicking the Finished button will return you to this page. You can then assign the new student(s) to their class(es).
