Groups

Staff Groups are a way for attendees to book multiple staff members at once. They can be added to your parent-teacher conferencing events, and any bookings for the staff group will appear on the timetable of each staff member in the group.

Some examples of staff groups you can make include:

• department heads
• your leadership team
• individual classrooms (so attendees know what option to book)
• a teacher and their student teacher

Managing Staff Groups

From the Staff option in the main menu, choose the Groups option.

You'll be able to view all staff groups, as well as add new ones and make any changes to any existing groups.

Tips

• An event can be made up of solely staff groups (such as classrooms)
• Staff groups can have breaks set like an individual staff member.
• Attendees can see the names of the individual staff members within the group.
• Staff added to a group while an event is running will inherit any existing bookings for that group.
• Staff from a group will no longer see the group's bookings on their timetable.

Avoid adding both a staff member and a staff group to one event

If a staff member is added to an event, and a group they're a member of is also added to the event, attendees could book both the staff member and the group for the same time. This might lead to some confusion when multiple people come to speak to the staff member.
