The administrator has the ability to manage terms, teachers, classes and students. An admin has the capability to add or remove items from each of these categories, either manually, or through imported data sets. All administrator tools can be found by clicking on your name in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and then clicking on Account Dashboard.

To create a new term, click the New Term button, enter the name of the term, and click the Save Term button. To delete a term, select the checkbox next to the term, then click the Delete Terms button. You can also click on the trashcan icon next to the term, enter your password, and click Delete.

One term is active at a time. Inactive terms become read only. You can set up as many terms as you like, making the current term the active one. For example, if you are nearing the end of the semester and want to start setting up a new semester, create the term, but do not set it as current.

8. Entering Data…
There are two options for entering information into the system:
Import a CSV file from your student/learning management system.
Manually enter teachers, classes and students.
