Staff Groups in MyConferenceTime work behind the scenes for admins. You can assign staff members to groups so that you can easily select certain staff members over and over again. 


For example, if your 8th grade teachers always need a custom schedule, you can create the custom schedule and then select the 8th Grade Staff Group when copying the schedule. This eliminates the need to go through your staff list selecting each individual 8th grade teacher every time. Once your Staff Groups are created, you can use them on the following pages: assigning schedules to folders; copying a schedule to multiple staff members; staff summary; and schedule summary.


How to create a staff group:

  1. Log in as the admin.
  2. Go to "Admin Options" and select "Staff Groups Manager"

  3. Enter a name for the Staff Group such as "9th Grade Teachers," "Math Teachers," "Part-time Teachers," "School Counselors." The "description" field is optional and is not visible anywhere else except on the Staff Groups Manager page.
    Click on "Save Changes" after you have entered a Staff Group Name (and optional Staff Group Description).

  4. After you click on the "Add Staff Group" button, you will see a confirmation that the Staff Group has been created. Your next step is to add staff to the Staff Group. In this example, our Staff Group is called "Primary."

    Click on "Add/Remove Staff" so that we can view the list of your school's staff members.

  5. To add a staff member to your newly created Staff Group, click the "yes" button beside the staff member's name. Be sure "no" is selected for anyone who is not to be in the Staff Group.

     

  6. When you have made your yes/no selections, click on "Save Changes."
