Subjects

The group's subjects: core or not, for one stage or all.

Open the page in SchoolOS

What it is for

A subject is taught at every school; it has a code and a name, and may belong to one stage.

Who uses it

The page opens for whoever holds “View subjects”, to look only, or “Manage the school: its schools, stages, grades, classes, subjects and calendar”, to work in it. In the built-in roles: Owner, Manager, Team member, Principal. They are granted to any role under Settings → Roles and permissions.

Step by step

  1. Press “Add the usual subjects” to start with the usual twelve, each once.
  2. Or “+ Add subject” for one of your own: the name, stage and whether it is core (the code is optional and the system makes one if left empty).
  3. To add many subjects: “Import subjects” from an Excel file.

How it works

The code is the subject's key and is never repeated. Subjects are the group's, so only whoever holds the «Manage the school» key over the whole group changes them. Deleting deactivates.

On the page

  • The usual twelve subjects, once.
  • The subjects, their stages, and whether they are core.

Questions

What happens if I add the usual subjects twice?
Codes already there are left as they are, and nothing repeats.
How do I delete a record in “Deleted” permanently?
From the “Deleted” tab: “Delete permanently” on the record, or “Delete all permanently” above the tab after typing the count, which takes every deleted record of the kind in all of {{customer.the}}, whatever the page's filter shows. It takes the “Permanent delete” permission, the owner's, and a fresh code from the authenticator app each time. A record other records still point to stays, and what holds it is named. A person's record has its personal data erased that night, and a row with no name stays in the records. The backups keep a copy for a few weeks, then it is gone.
