      In the case of siblings, you can link the profiles of incoming first years to incoming first years before you carry out the rollover on PPOD for the other year groups.

      Step 1

      Stay in the current academic year and click into the Groups Tab.

      Step 2

      You will see a group called something like ‘First Years 2021 (from PPOD)’.

      Step 3

      Click View List > Click into Household for the relevant student > Click into Actions > Add Sibling.

      Step4

      Type in the sibling’s name and pick their name up from the drop down > click Save.

       

      You will then see the sibling listed below the parent's ‘Contact’ information at the bottom of the Household tab screen.
