Classic - Managing Pre-booking Days

What Is Pre-booking?

At times, you know that you would like students to be scheduled to their advisory teacher, on a specific day or days, for a specific period.  Rather than having to set this up manually, and remember to schedule new students to their advisory teacher on this same set schedule, you can set up pre-booking, and the initial scheduling as well as the subsequent scheduling to advisory, will be done automatically as new students are added.

A couple of scenarios include:

• pre-book to their advisory at the beginning of the week to determine a schedule for the remaining periods
• pre-booked to their advisory every available period, ensuring that the students always have an appointment

How to Set Up Pre-booking

Note: Only admins have the ability to establish pre-booking.

Once logged on, go to Admin > Manage School Periods.  You will see five check boxes for each period, representing Monday - Friday.  If the day is checked, it means that a new student will be pre-booked into their homeroom for that day.  Be sure to click Save for each row / period you are configuring.

Example

In the example below, the Flex period is the only active period (see the checkbox under the "Is Active" column), and pre-booking is occurring on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
