Data Load

Accounts

Each person accessing Silent Dismissal requires his or her own account. Transactions are attributed to individual user accounts so it is not advisable to share user IDs and passwords among individuals. Read here about creating accounts .

One by One

Accounts may be created one by one by selecting Accounts / New from the menu.

  • User ID - Each account must have a unique user ID within your school. If the user ID that you select is already in use, the account will not be created and you will receive an error message.
  • First Name - This is the user's given name. It is not a required field. If your school is using generic indicators for classrooms such as 3A, this field may be left blank.
  • Last Name - This is the user's surname. It is a required field.
  • Account Type - This drop down selection determines which features in Silent Dismissal the user will have access to. For some account types, this will also invoke additional data entry fields.
  • Grade - The grade field only applies to classroom type users. Select the entry that corresponds to the grade taught in the classroom. Accurately setting this value will assist in setting student grade values, determining discrepancies, and for year-to-year conversion.
  • Default Location - The default location field only applies to dismissal users. It sets the default location what dismissal entries will be tagged when entered. It is particularly useful for kiosks.
  • Password - The password field is required to create a new account.
