Host's Internet Address

We and your IT department will tell you what internet address to use. 

Login Accounts and Privilege Sets

A login account must be created for each new user. For more information see Manage Login Accounts.

We suggest the Roll marking and Resources privilege set for most teachers. Alternatively, teachers may have the Instrumental or Ensemble or Head of Department privilege sets.

Access Settings

Users logging in with accounts that are set to the above Privilege Sets will see a Teacher View screen that has limited functionality. In general: 

  • They can see the contact details and enrolment details of students allocated to them 
  • They can view and mark their own rolls 
  • They can submit pay claims for additional work, and view their previous claims 

You can grant or remove access to these functions. Go to Home > Settings Wheel > General Settings > Teacher Settings

Settings you choose here will apply to all users logging in with one of the Privilege Sets mentioned above, which are intended for teachers.

Log In

The username for each staff member is set in the "Login Account" field when you created their access in the first step:

 

Once created, it appears in the login accounts list in the Account Name field:

It also appears in their staff contact file:

The password they need is the one you created for them when you set up their login account. It is generally a fairly simple password because they will be required to change it to one of their own creation the first time they log in.

Provide teachers with their username and temporary password and refer them to Teachers Basic Overview for advice on using the system.
