Parent Tasks or Student Record Entry Assignments
9. If an Assignment is added via the Assignment tab in the Student record rather than a session it will have 'None' in the Session ID column. This is useful for items required from the parent for the student and not associated with a particular session. It will not alert them that an item is waiting but if you choose to you can advise customers to check this area during onboarding or when required.
Customer/Parent View
10. The view via the customer login is the same as that via the Student tab with the exception that the default setting is that Assignments added via sessions will not show unless the session is Approved.
This can be changed to show at different times via Config Settings. Setup - Company - Config Settings - Sessions - Assignments Visible to Parents.
From the Student Assignment tab sessions that are approved will be shaded green so you may know at a glance the approved status of the session.
11. Edits to the data may not be made via the parent login.
12. The list will also show the student name for parents/customers with multiple students.
Show Assignments on Progress Reports
13. Assignments set for the date range of a progress report may be listed on the progress report. In the main menu select: Setup > Company > Config Settings > Students > Progrep Include Assignments > Yes.
Reporting
14. Assignment fields are available as fields in the Student Custom reporting area.
Include Assignments on Student Progress Reports
15. To include student assignments on their progress reports set this in Config Settings. Go to Setup > Company > Config Settings > Students > Progrep Include Assignments > Set to Yes > Apply Changes.
