In addition to setting room capacity, student movement can also be restricted by adjusting the visibility of rooms to particular student groups.
By default, a room is visible to all students. But with just a few clicks, you can set that room to only show for certain students, or hide it from certain students.
This is great for rooms like the bathroom, where you want to set certain bathrooms to only show up for certain grade levels — or if you have a provision in an IEP or 504 Plan to provide a "Walking Pass" or "Cool Down Pass". Using this feature would ensure only those students would have access to that particular "room."
How to Configure Visibility
Any adjustment of room set up will need to be done using an Admin account.
Using your Admin menu, click on Rooms.
Then, click the Student Visibility tab.
Under Visibility, click Edit.
There are 3 visibility choices for you to choose from:
Show Room For All Students
This is the default setting.
Show Room For Certain Students
You are given the option to search for students individually, select a grade level, or upload a student list.
Hide Room From Certain Students
You are given the option to search for students individually, select a grade level, or upload a student list.
Once you’ve selected the students, grade levels, or uploaded a list to include or exclude from room visibility, click Save.
Now, when those students go to create a pass, they will only see the rooms that you want them to see!
FAQ
Can teachers create a pass to or from a room that is hidden from a student?
If needed, teachers are always able to create a pass for any student to any open location on campus. If they select a room that the student does not have visible, the teacher will get a warning message asking them to override the restriction that the room is hidden from the student.
Does room visibility work in Kiosk mode?
Yes! When a student logs into the Kiosk, rooms that have been restricted from the student's visibility will not be accessible.
