We typically do not recommend reusing old MyConferenceTime schedules from a previous school year. Staffing usually changes from year to year. It's quicker to create brand new schedules using the Conference Setup Wizard instead of duplicating old schedules and then creating new schedules for new hires.
When schools are having a second (or third, etc.) round of conferences during a school year, we usually recommend that you create brand new schedules using Admin Options -> Conference Setup Wizard. The directions are here:
Create Schedules Using the Conference Setup Wizard
If you do want to continue using the old schedules, however, here is a list of steps to follow:
- Clear the student names from the old schedules: Clear Conference Data from Schedules
- Change the old dates to the new dates: Date of Conference - Change to New Date
- Set up automatic reminder emails for parents: Email Reminders For All Conferences On Specific Date(s) - Scheduling in Advance
- Change the title of the schedules if necessary (sometimes the schedules are titled "Fall Conferences" so this would need to be changed for spring conferences: Title of Schedule - Editing
- Change the opening/closing dates & times if desired: Schedules - Visible/Not-Visible
- Change the undo/cancellation date so that parents can cancel online: Cancel Conferences Online (Directions for School Staff to Allow Parents to Cancel Online)
