Use this page to add or change the categories of attachments that can be stored for students. Categories are assigned to attachments when they are uploaded.
Besides defining the type of attachment that is stored, a category specifies the security resources required for users to download a particular document. For example, the category REGMAINT could identify Registration attachments, such as the pdf file of a birth certificate. To see the document in the Student Attachments window, users could be required to have security for the Registration package, Maintenance subpackage, and Maintenance feature, as assigned to the category.
This table validates the Student Attachments window's Category field. The window can be displayed from any Student detail page by clicking (Attachment).
Security resources do not limit the ability for teachers to view attachments in TAC. In the TAC Building Configuration page, you can select whether teachers and substitutes can view attachments and select the categories of attachments that should be displayed in TAC.
If your district integrates eSchoolPlus with PowerSchool Enrollment, your integration can optionally include the Document Integration which allows eSchoolPlus users to access documents submitted and stored in Enrollment from the Student Attachments window. The Document Integration requires eSchoolPlus 21.4.15.0 or later. Visit the PowerSchool Enrollment Admin help for details.
Documents delivered from the Enrollment integration will be associated with the "_apienrollment" user. This user account must have security resources for the attachment categories that can be associated with the documents submitted in Enrollment.
Select the (Delete) checkbox for each record to delete.
Click Save.
