We’ve recently updated our top menu navigation (July 2024). We’re currently updating our user guides to reflect these changes, so thank you for your patience while we work on this. The new menu is user-friendly, so you shouldn’t experience significant disruption. If you need help locating specific items in the new menu however, watch our quick videos for admin users here, and for teachers here.

Filters in teaching group management
Most of the filters in this screen are self explanatory like name, level subject, Main Teacher, etc. The rest include:
Exam - indicates whether the class is to be examined.
Active - this indicates whether the class is live in the system. If a class is not active, it won't show up anywhere except for the teaching group screen,
Incl. Sept - This indicates whether the class is included in September returns.
Allow Duplicates - If this is set to 'yes', it means that students in this teaching group are allowed to be moved to another teaching group which is on in the same block while remaining in the original class. This can be useful in cases where students need to be taken out of a class for special tuition for just one lesson of a teaching group but remain in the class for the rest of the lessons in that week.
Medium - Relates to the language the class is taught in.
Block - The block that the class is in.
R. Class Group - Related class group (or base class).
