Additional points to remember
- Individual teacher classrooms should NOT be added here. Students will use the teacher’s names to create passes to/from teacher classrooms. If you do add teacher’s rooms here, it may cause confusion for the students when making a pass, because that “teacher’s name/room” will show up twice.
- Admin, Staff, and Teachers can “associate” themselves to the rooms/locations in which they work so that they can monitor passes to/from those locations. For example, an admin may associate with the Main Office or Guidance Office.
- There is an option to “Import Rooms” from a CSV file.
- Click on the CSV button and follow the instructions on the Pass screen.
There is a sample file available that shows the column headers and data required. If you upload a Locations file, you can easily track the status on the Locations (rooms) page. In the upper left corner, simply click Files. The name of the file, status, and date created will be displayed on the screen.
- Click on the CSV button and follow the instructions on the Pass screen.
Important Note:
If you upload a locations file that contains a location/room that already exists in your Pass system, the upload will fail.
