District Employment

A staff icon will appear next to a person's name if that person has a Staff ID.  When searching for staff, use either the Quick Search Staff option or the Advanced Search settings.  This will return staff members who have both a District Employment record and a District Assignment record.

A System Preference is available - Require Employment Record for District Assignment - that determines how District Employment records work in conjunction with District Assignment records.  The Employment tab creates a district employment record; the District Assignment tab creates a school or building employment record.
