Scheduling Board Tool Rights

  • Best Practice: Make a separate Scheduling Board User Group that only has rights to Scheduling Board. Assign the few people who should have access to it while scheduling is in progress. Remove them from the group once it is complete.
  • NEVER use the Scheduling Board to make schedule changes after the school year begins. 
  • Users can toggle back and forth between the Scheduling Board and the Course Planner, Staff Planner, and Requests and Rosters tools IF they have been given rights to those tools.
  • Districts that use OneRoster connections to sync to other systems, including Campus' Digital Learning Partnersshould NOT use the Scheduling Board at any point after their data has been synced during that school year. Districts should not sync with OneRoster vendors at the beginning of the school year until student scheduling is finalized. Syncing before finalizing scheduling may result in data issues for OneRoster vendors, such as duplicate class records or loss of class data.

Restrictions can be set so that courses can only be taught in a certain room, for example a chemistry course that needs to take place in the chemistry lab.
  • Staff Planner: The Staff Planner is used to set conditions such as which periods and how many periods a teacher can be assigned to teach.
  • Requests and Rosters: Staff such as counselors, schedulers, and administrators use Requests and Rosters to manage student course requests and course rosters.
