Manage Staff Records

This article explains how to add, edit, and deactivate staff records in Asset Management. Staff records are most often populated through a nightly integration with the district’s student information system or HR system. This integration helps keep staff data current and is the recommended way to maintain staff records.

Add a Staff Record

You can add staff records manually when needed. As a best practice, use the staff member’s ID from your student information system or HR system. This helps the nightly import update the existing record instead of creating a duplicate.

  2. Click add.png Add Record. The grid expands and displays “Staff Member: New Staff Member.”
  3. Enter the staff member’s details. Red fields are required.
