FAQ - How to Edit the List of Teachers

Editing the List of Teachers

Many schools choose to add a list of teachers as a Custom Field in their database so they can sort their students for communication and deliveries.

Only Account Owners are able to edit the Custom Fields, but they cannot create them.  If you would like to have a custom field added to your parent or student information forms, send in a help desk ticket and one of our team members will be happy to assist you.

To edit the list of teachers presented on the Student Information Form:

1.  Go to Dashboard / People / Configuration / Custom Fields. Select the "edit" button next to the "Teacher" Label.

2.  On the Presentation tab, go to the "Options" section. Here you can edit the teacher names.

• Be sure that the value is unique for each name. For example, if you have two teachers with the same last name (1st & 5th grade) you might want to use Jones1 and Jones5 as the values.

• We recommend typing 2 or 3 spaces and a hard return as the first choice so that the default value of the field is blank and does not automatically default to the first choice in your list.
