Locker Assignment Page

On this page:

Use this page to mass assign students to lockers or to mass update locker combinations. When assigning lockers, you can choose to assign lockers to all selected students or only to students who do not have a current locker assignment. You can also filter to restrict which students in the building will be assigned lockers. For example, you could apply the assignment only to tenth grade students whose names begin with A through D. Lockers with the most restrictions (as identified on the Locker Detail page) are assigned first, and are only assigned to students who meet all of the restrictions for those lockers.

When updating locker combinations, you can filter to determine which lockers are part of the assignment pool. For example, you could filter lockers to a specific location as identified on the Locker Detail page.

Mass update locker combinations

This procedure updates the combination of all selected lockers to either to a specific sequence number or to the next number in a stored list. The stored list of combinations displays on the Combinations panel of Locker Detail page. Only one combination in this list can be the active/current combination.

Note

Updating locker combinations does not update the student's record, so the updated locker combination from this procedure will not display on the student's Personal page. The Mass Assign Students to Lockers procedure does update locker combinations in student's Personal pages and should follow the combinations update.

Select Registration > Utilities > Tools > Locker Assignment.
On the Prompts panel, specify how to update combinations.
- Select Update Current Combinations.
- Select to either roll the current combination to the next number or to set the current combination (of all selected lockers) to a specific number.
- If you selected to set the combination to a specific number, enter the combination.
To limit lockers to be updated, enter values in the Locker Filter panel.
Click Run.

Mass assign students to lockers

If you plan to update locker combinations, perform that step before assigning students.

Select Registration > Utilities > Tools > Locker Assignment.
On the Prompts panel, specify how you want to assign lockers.
- Select Assign Students.
- To assign lockers to both students with and without a current locker assignment, check Replace Existing Lockers for Students. If unchecked, students with locker assignments are unaffected and only students that do not have locker assignments will be assigned lockers when the program is run.
- To filter to only include certain students in the mass assignment, enter values in the Student Filter panel's fields.
Select Assign Students.
Click Run.

Sort Panel

Use the Sort panel to specify how records should be ordered in a report. You enter lines of sort criteria; the system compares your sort criteria against the corresponding fields in the records being searched and displays records in either ascending or descending order based on the sort fields.
