How to select Session and Term for whole School and/or for Admin

After session and term must have been created, this section will help you to activate it so as to take effect thereby, changing the system to be operating on the selected session and term. To do this:

1.   Go to ‘Portal Settings’

2.   Under the Global Setting section, select ‘Academic’ tab

3.   Under SESSION & TERM section, ‘Choose Profile’ (Admin or School)

Please note: In step 3, you must repeat the process for both Admin and School profile to take a general effect for all. Setting the session and term only for the Admin profile activates the process only for the Admin and not for the School. So this means while the Admin sees a set session and term from his end, others on the platform see the previously set session and term from their own end and the information for that term is what will be available to them. The same applies if this is set for the School profile alone, the Admin would still be seeing and working on the previous session and term while others would be working on the new. The separate profiles can prove beneficial if the Admin wants to make some adjustments on the school portal without disturbing anyone who might be working on the portal at the time. He can decide to change the session and term, make changes and adjustments, then activate for the Admin profile and later on, the School profile.

4.   ‘Set Session’

5.   ‘Set Term’

6.   Scroll down the page and click ‘Update Setting’ to save changes.

Note: Step 6 will only apply if all the settings for academic setup are done properly.
