Locker Schedule Wizard

Tool Search: Locker Schedule Wizard

The Locker Schedule Wizard provides the school with the ability of assigning lockers to students en masse. This wizard has the ability to schedule more than one student to a locker. If lockers are marked as Shared, the wizard will assign the lockers to two same-gender students. Multiple locker types can be assigned when using this wizard.

Students must be actively enrolled in the school selected in the Campus toolbar.

This tool can be used to assign lockers to students who are enrolled in multiple schools at the same time, as long as the student does not have an existing active locker assignment in the selected school and school year in the Campus tool bar.

Option

Description

What locker type would you like to schedule?
Required

Select which Locker Type (academic, PE, etc.) to assign to the students.

What students would you like to schedule?

Select the students to schedule either by Grade level or an Ad hoc Filter.

  • Grade levels only display if the year, school, calendar and schedule are selected in the Campus toolbar.
  • Selecting an ad hoc filter will only schedule students who are included in that filter.

Would you like to assign lockers designated for a particular grade level
or choose individual locker locations?

Only those lockers designated for the selected grade level will be assigned if YES is chosen. Otherwise, the grade level selected on the lockers will be ignored (if NO is chosen).

To be consistent, schools should assign a grade level to all lockers or choose to leave the majority of the lockers without a grade assignment.
Options are:

  • Yes, assign students to lockers reserved for their grade level. A grade level can be assigned when creating a Locker.
  • No, assign student lockers in the groups I choose. If No is selected, a locker group must be chosen. These groups are the same as the Locker Locations.

How would you like to assign lockers to students?

Choose one of the following options from the dropdown list.

  • Assign in random gender order
  • Assign in alphabetical gender order
  • Assign in alphabetical order
  • Assign in random order

If either of the gender options are chosen, the wizard assigns lockers by the assigned gender code (Male, Female, or Non-Male, Non-Female). until one gender group has run out; at that time, it assigns the remaining gender group.


This tool assigns lockers using the standard Gender field (Census > People > Identities > Gender); Legal Gender assignment (Census > People > Identities > Protected Identity Information > Legal Gender) is ignored.

Should lockers be sorted in alphabetical or numerical order?

Determine if lockers should be sorted either alphabetically or numerically. If numeric is chosen, the locker number must contain ONLY numbers (that means no special characters, no letters).


When lockers are sorted numerically and a locker number has a non-numeric character, a validation message displays indicating at least one locker has non-numeric character. Users can either sort the lockers alphabetically or update the locker number to contain only numeric characters.

Would you like to double assign lockers if needed?

If lockers are marked as Shared, more than one student can be assigned to it. If this is desired, mark Yes, double assign lockers if needed.

What date would you like the enrollment/ locker assignment to begin?
Required

Enter the Effective State Date of when the locker assignment should begin. Dates are entered in mmddyy format or can be selected by clicking the calendar icon.

 

This start date must be on or after the student's enrollment start date.

What date would you like the locker assignment to end?

If the locker assignment should have an end date, enter that date. Dates are entered in mmddyy format or can be selected by clicking the calendar icon. This date does not have to be entered at this time. However, the locker is considered unavailable until the student's locker assignment is ended.
