Creating the School record

Access University Options from the File tab.

In the menu at the left, select School.

Click the green + at the right to create a new School.

The required fields are:

• Name: Enter the name of the new School
• Group: Select to which group this School should belong. It must belong to at least one group.
• Country and Timezone: These will default to the options defined in the University section but can be changed here if desired.

Additional fields:

• Licence key: If the school is required to have its own licence key, it can be entered here. It will be reflected accordingly within School Options. Leaving this blank means this School will be included with the University-level license key.
• Application settings: This will default to what was specified at the University level, but some settings, such as authentication can be changed here if desired.
