Setting Up eSchoolPlus Options for Buildings

On this page:

This topic includes a list of all setup options that are defined by building. Your district may not use all applications listed.

Tip

Use the Administration > General Setup > Checklists > Building Checklist option to set up eSchoolPlus for a building. From the Building Checklist Page, you can navigate to a setup and use the

(Next) icon to move through the other setups on the checklist. The page also helps you quickly see the setups that are defined for the building.

Although this topic presents options in the order that setups should be added for an application, it does not attempt to cover all prerequisites that may be needed to define a setup. Some setups may require you to enter codes that were defined in a district setup or validation table. For example, you need to define the valid attendance codes for the district before you can save the Attendance Building Configuration because the configuration requires you to enter default attendance codes.
