Frontline Inventory & Help Desk Management

Add a Course

The Courses feature in Instructional Materials Management displays all courses and their associated enrollment data, which are automatically imported from the district’s Student Information System (SIS), typically every 24 hours. Courses are used to support reporting and eligibility calculations for instructional materials.

In addition to imported courses, Service Admins can manually create courses when needed.

Note: Courses imported from the SIS include student and teacher schedules. Manually created courses do not include schedules, so any associated book/course relationships will not impact eligibility calculations.

Eligibility Calculation

Eligibility determines how many instructional materials can be requested or allocated based on enrollment data. Eligibility is calculated using the following formula:

(Campus Student % × Current Student Enrollment) + (Campus Teacher % × Current Teacher Enrollment) = ISBN Eligibility

Guidelines for Eligibility Setup

  • For student edition materials, set the Teacher % field to "0" so eligibility is based only on student enrollment.
  • For teacher edition materials, set the Student % field to "0" so eligibility is based only on teacher enrollment.
