Can I publish my Sentral Calendar to the Student and Parent Portal?
There are two
areas of Sentral Calendars and Student and Parent Portal Setup which are
applicable in this scenario.
1. Sentral
Calendars
There are
permission settings per Calendar which can be found by accessing the Calendar
and clicking on Preferences (top right) - you will have the following for Edit
and View Privileges:
- Private: Only
users set in the access controls of this calendar;
- Shared: Only
Sentral Logged in Users (Staff);
- Open: Anyone
who has the URL for the Calendar (both Staff, Parents and Students).
There are
display options for the Teacher Dashboard and the Student Dashboard. The Staff
Dashboard option is the Calendar displayed if using the Calendar Dashboard
Widget for display. The Student Dashboard feature is not related to the Portal,
so can be disregarded. So long as Staff Calendars are set to only allow access
for either Private or Shared access pertaining to BOTH Edit and View, then only
Staff will be able to modify/view entries on that calendar.
2. Student and
Parent Portal
For Parents
and/or Student users to access a calendar, the following needs to be
setup:
a) You need to
ensure that the Calendar has View Privileges set to Open: Anyone
To set, open up Calendar in Webcal > click on Preferences (top
right) > View Privileges: select 'Open: Anyone' > Save at the bottom
b) Copy the URL
of the Calendar to your clipboard - sample: Global Calendar: <<calendar
URL>>
Go to
Portal Console Setup > School Applications Add
New application > Add name, Module and URL link to the calendar and decide if this application is visible to parent and or students.
Go to
Portal Calendar and select the portal calendar that will be displayed for portal users
