Administration - Managing Terms

A term is the timeframe in which you are working. Examples of terms include the school year, semesters, marking periods and trimesters. You can determine the length of a term. In the admin area, you can create new terms and manage existing terms. The term marked as Current is the one you are currently working in and allows for changes. Any terms marked as Read Only are archived and cannot be updated. If you want to create a new term for an upcoming timeframe, you can do so and just leave it as Read Only until you are ready to switch to the new term.

To access terms

1. Click the Admin link.
2. To add a new term:
1. Click the New Term link in the left Menu.
2. Enter a Term Name and then click the Create button.
3. If you want to make the term the active term, mark the Current checkbox.
3. To delete a term, select the checkbox next to the desired term and then click Delete Terms in the left Menu. Note that all data is lost and this cannot be undone! If you want to retain the term, simply mark the Read Only checkbox instead of deleting. This keeps the information archived, but does not allow any updating.
4. Click the Save button to save your changes.
