On to ‘Amend Users’ >>

2.3.1 Add new teacher user

Clicking the 'Users' button in the left navigation takes you to the main Manage users screen where you can select to add a new user, amend an existing user's details or delete a user. To add a new user, click the 'Add new user' button and then select whether you want to create a new student or teacher user from the drop-down menu (you can change your mind at the next screen if you need to).

When you are adding a teacher user, the first screen you will see looks like this:

Select a title from the drop-down menu and then enter the first name and surname in the boxes. Click the buttons to generate the username and password and then select if you would like the new teacher to have administrator rights or not. A teacher with administrator rights is able to create and manage users and classes in addition to the other teacher functions. Click the 'Save' button to save the details to the database and then click the 'Next' button to link the teacher to a class:

The available year groups and classes will be shown in the selection boxes. Click to tick the year groups and classes that you want to associate the teacher with and click the 'Save' button to save the details. The teacher will be able to view reports for any classes in the system, but only able to assign work to the classes specifically associated with them. You will be able to edit the list of associated classes at a later date if necessary.

You can now navigate to a new section or log out.

2.3.2 Add new student user

When you are adding a student user, the first screen you will see looks like this:

Fill in the student's first name and surname, then click the 'Generate Username' button. This will create a username for the student to use when they log in to the system. All students are initially assigned the password 'achieve' which they can change when they log in to the system. You should encourage all students to change their initial password for security. Choose the student's date of birth from the drop-down menus, select their gender with the radio buttons and click the 'Save' button to save their details to the database. Click the 'Next' button to link the student to a class:

Select a year group from the first drop-down menu. Once you have done this the second menu will update and you can select a class for the student for any of the courses required. Click the 'Save' button to save the student details.

You can now navigate to a new section or log out.
