General school settings

In the Administration module, the Settings screen contains the school's global configuration. Some settings apply immediately to the whole account and others serve as default values for future timetables.

Main settings

The screen lets you configure, among other things:

• school name;
• time zone;
• current school year;
• class levels with Create;
• opening hours for accounts that use Staffing;
• teacher availability entry mode;
• student visibility restriction;
• teacher visibility restriction;
• login restriction by role;
• middle name handling;
• name capitalization rule;
• login syntax;
• first day of the week;
• alternate weeks format;
• whether the course type is mandatory or not;
• enabling or disabling the shared subject repository;
• school logo.

Backup point quotas and the log retention depth are not ordinary settings on this screen. They are enabled or adjusted by Omniscol according to the school's contract.

Levels

Levels are used to rank classes by educational progression: Grade 6, Grade 7, Bachelor, Master, year 1, year 2, etc.

They are part of the account's general settings. You can create, delete and reorder them from this screen. They are then used in classes, in some filters and in several diagnostic views.

Visibility and login settings

The Time span schedule restriction for students, Restrictions on teachers consulting timetables and Application login restriction settings are documented in Visibility restrictions.

Course types and common subjects

The Mandatory course type setting controls whether a type is required when entering a course. The common subjects setting controls access to the country's official repository.

Logo

The uploaded logo is stored in the account and used by the interface where the context calls for it, notably on the login screens and in the application.
