In the lower left corner, bottom of the left sidebar, on the admin pages there is a DDL for Academic Terms.
This dropdown list (DDL) allows you to select the Academic Term for every page. It's sticky, so once you set it, it should stay on that Academic Term (for you).
- On the People page, it will filter students by academic level for that Academic Term.
- On Messages, it enables the course/section lists in the address bar of messages.
- On the Calendar page, it filters the Sections list when adding a calendar event.
You must select the Academic Term from the Academic Term DDL first or it won't change/update the list. If it doesn't seem to work, you may need to refresh your browser tab.
The dropdown list defaults to the current Academic Term. Once you change the Academic Term in the dropdown list it will remain set to that new Academic Term for 12 hours. This is uniquely set for your current browser only using Cookies.
On the People Page, the Academic Term DDL allows you to do two things.
- After you've selected Academic Term, you can filter by Academic Level and it will list for you the students that are that Academic Level in the selected Academic Term.
- It sets the default Academic Term for all students on the page, so if you click an individual student's school tab it will default to that Academic Term.
Using the Academic Term DDL is very useful when enrolling students in sections via Quick Enroll or one at a time via the student's school tab.
