Tool Search: Display Options

The Portal Display Options allow schools to determine which tools and data are available in the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals. This tool is scoped to the school selected in the Campus toolbar.

Options are managed by creating templates and assigning calendars (and schedule structures) to that template. This tool also contains Batch Edit options to simplify updating multiple templates or schools.

Portal Display Options apply to the web versions of Campus Student and Campus Parent and the mobile apps.

Portal Display Options

Understand the Portal Display Options Tool

The primary view of the Portal Display Options tool lists the Templates created for the school and the Calendar(s) assigned to each template. Click the name of the template or calendar to view more information.

For each template, a Status and, if applicable, which terms are enabled are displayed. The status indicates whether portal data is enabled for the calendar assigned to the template.

Use the filter options above the table to filter the list by calendars in the Previous, Active, and Future school years or by calendar status.

The Active year is the School Year currently marked as Active in the School Year Setup tool.

What does 'Enabled' mean?

If a Calendar (Schedule Structure) is enabled, data is available on the Campus Student and Campus Parent Portals for that calendar. The available data is determined by the display options marked in the template to which the calendar is assigned.

If a Term is enabled, Assignment, Attendance, Grades, and Schedule data for that term are available, depending on which display options are enabled.

Which calendars can be enabled?

Calendars can be enabled if they are for the current, active school year, the prior (previous) school year, or the next (future) school year.

Calendars from the previous school year can be enabled for only 90 days from the Calendar End Date. This is done by extending the enabled status of the calendar. See the Calendar & Term Settings section below for information about enabling previous calendars.

For enabled calendars in the active and previous school years, the data available on the Portals is determined by the Display Options selected. For calendars in the future school year, only the Display Options for Academic Plan, Course Registration, Documents, and Schedule tools are applicable. All other data is hidden from enabled calendars in future school years.

Create a Template

To create a new display options template, click the New Template button at the bottom of the tool. Alternately, open an existing template, click the arrow next to the Save button, and then Save & Copy to create a copy of that template as a starting point.

Screenshot of a new template. Manage display options by first creating a template.

Enter a unique Template Name. This is the name displayed in the Portal Display Options tool and when assigning calendars. Enter a Description if desired. Currently, this description is only displayed in this tool. It may help provide more information about what data is enabled in the template and how it should be used.

Display Options are grouped in expandable sections by tool. Click Expand All to view all options. When enabled tools are collapsed, an indication in the section heading indicates if the tool is enabled.

For many tools, display options can be set individually for Campus Student and Campus Parent. For some tools, additional options are displayed for specific settings when the tool is enabled. See the Display Options section below for a breakdown of each tool, its related settings, and examples from the apps.

Once the desired options for this template are marked, click Save to complete the template. The next step is assigning calendars to the template.

Assign Calendars to a Template

To assign calendars to a template, click the Manage Calendars button at the bottom of the template. Click Assign next to the calendar(s) to assign to this template. Calendars can also be assigned by clicking the calendar name from the main display options screen.

Calendars can only be assigned to one template at a time.

Calendar and Term Settings

When a calendar is assigned to a template, additional settings display:

Enable calendar when it is in the active or future school year.

When a calendar is enabled, data in that calendar is available in the portals, depending on the options selected. This setting to enable a calendar applies to calendars in the active or future school year. The Active year is the School Year currently marked as Active in the School Year Setup tool. The future school year is the next one.

Keep calendar enabled when it is in the previous school year for X days from Calendar End Date

Keeping a calendar enabled allows parents and students to access a calendar's data past its end date. This option is especially helpful for data such as Grades and Assignment scores.

Access can be extended up to 90 days past the Calendar End Date. After that date, the calendar will no longer be listed in the Portal Display Options tool and cannot be made available.

Portal Term Settings

Term-specific settings control access to Assignments, Attendance, Grades, and Schedule data.

Terms are automatically enabled based on the term's Start Date based on the automatic preferences selected. Automatically enable all terms according to the first term's Start Date, or enable each term according to its own Start Date. Select the number of days before the Start Date for which the terms should be enabled.

Display Options Summary

Below the list of terms is the Display Options Summary, which indicates the template selected for the calendar and which options are enabled.

Option	Description	Campus Student and Campus Parent
Academic Plan
Enable Academic Plan Tool	Displays information related to a student's course plan. The Academic Planner and Course Registration options can be turned on at the same time, but it is not recommended. It is best to have a window of time when students can add courses to their course plans and a window of time when students can enter course requests. This eliminates the risk of overwriting course requests or planned courses.	Click to enlarge
Enforce All Rules	When marked, students can only save their academic plan if ALL planning rules and requirements have been fulfilled. When it is not marked, students can save their plan without meeting all requirements, but all planning rules must still be met.

Require approval by parent/legal guardian	When marked, parent/legal guardians can mark this box indicating they have reviewed the student's academic plan. This field displays as marked when the student views the plan when logged into the portal and when the counselor views the student's Course Plan. Parents/guardians can review the student's academic plan and mark this checkbox without being able to change the programs or course plans. This is helpful in situations where a counselor has worked with the student to create a plan and finalize it but still wants parents/guardians to review the selections.
Display Course Fees	Any fees assigned to a course will be displayed when viewing that course in the Course Catalog search results.
Allow portal users to change program	When marked, parents/guardians and students can select a different academic plan. When not marked, only district staff (counselors, graduation program planners, etc.) can change students' academic plans.
Allow to change course plans	When marked for Campus Student or Campus Parent, students and/or parents can add or remove courses from the course planner. Parents/guardians can approve the student's course plan regardless of whether this checkbox is marked.
