Tool Search: Seating Charts
Seating charts provide a visual representation of where students sit in a classroom. Each section can have multiple seating charts if desired.
This guide explains how to create a seating chart.
The Seating Chart tool was recently redesigned and is currently in a limited release to avoid disruption at the end of the school year. If a district is interested in this new functionality for training and planning purposes, submit a request with Campus Support to have the new functionality enabled.
Note: the change will apply to the entire district. Once new Seating Charts are enabled, a district cannot go back to the previous Seating Charts tool.
Check out the Comparison of Seating Charts article to see old and new seating charts side-by-side.
Create seating charts to represent where students sit. Creating a seating chart is done in two parts: arranging desks in the Layout tab and then placing students in the desks in the Students tab
- Add seats to the layout. Add them individually by clicking AddSeat, or click Add Seat Grid to add multiple seats in a grid pattern.
- Rearrange seats as desired to fit the layout of your room. Keep in mind that desks cannot overlap. Use the + and- buttons at the top left to zoom in or out of your chart.
- Once the seats are arranged how you want them, go to the Students tab. You can returnt to the Layout tab at any point to adjust seats.
- Place students individually from the Unseated Students by clicking the six-dots icon and dragging the student to an empty seat. Or Auto-place Unseated Students using the dropdown at the top. Students can be placed randomly, alphabetically by name, by student number, or by birthdate.
- If you click and drag a student to a seat that is already filled, the students swap places.
- Click Save to finish creating your seating chart.
| Click and drag a seat by clicking the six-dots icon at the bottom left and dragging it where you want it. Your cursor displays as a hand when you hover over this icon. |  |
