Overview

Navigate to School Info > School Options


This area allows Schools to designate general School Contacts that could be available in various pages and reports, such as 'Contact the Registrar at registrar@school.org 123-456-7890' or 'Contact the Principal at principal@school.org 123-456-7891'. 


The School Contacts information is stored in LCN. There are 5 Fixed Contacts that are included, Principal, Registrar, Attendance, Health and Counseling.  More contact types can be added in the COD table.

Additional contact types can be added to the COD table under LCN.CD. The Code is an Alphanumeric, 7-character field. The Description is for the Type of Contact - Librarian, ELL Coordinator, etc. The actual Contact information will be entered on the School Options page. 


Update Code table to add contacts


NOTE: If you add a Contact type using one of the existing Fixed Codes, 1-5, it overwrites the Contact Description on the School Options page.  This allows you to modify the Title of these Contacts. For example, if you enter a Contact type in COD with a Code of '1' and a description of 'Director', then 'Director' would appear on the School Options page instead of 'Principal'.  You would need to delete that Contact type from the COD table to restore the original Fixed contact.


Once the Contact types have been added to the COD table, the Contact information can be entered or edited on the School Options page.
