Process: Adding a Staff Profile

The Staff section is where you create and view available Staff records, including: Academics, Assessors, and Coordinators. In this article, we will go over the process of creating a Staff profile.

We recommend setting up your Staff record prior to creating Course Enrolments. This is so that they populate in the drop-down list of available staff when you are enrolling a student into a course and linking them to their respective Course/Unit offers.

 Warning

Staff Profiles can be set against Party profiles or User profiles. During the set up, the system will prompt you to create a new Staff record from an existing Profile of the system or create a new Party record.

  • Adding a Staff profile against an existing party record will not automatically allow them to log in as User and perform actions against students and courses. This is more for internal record keeping purposes and the system will only recognise them internally by their set Staff type.
  • Adding a Staff profile against an existing User will allow the User of the system to log in as it's set Staff type and perform actions against students and courses.
  • If you would like for the new Staff record to have user access, follow the steps in the article on how to Add a User Profile.
