Locker Assignments

Hi, my name is Scott. 

You know those stressful locker dreams, the ones where you cannot remember your combination? While there's nothing I can do to eliminate those dreams, I can tell you that you won't need to stay up at night worrying about assigning lockers at your school. We've got you covered. 

Your first step is to identify the lock make and brand. Click on the Office tab at the top of your screen. Then, on the Lockers subset of the menu, select Setup, then Codes. 

On the following screen, click on Lock Makes. Click Add and enter the make and description. 

Next, you'll enter individual locks. Back on the Codes screen, select Lock Codes. Click Add and enter the lock information, then Save. As you add each lock to the system, the combination number will automatically increase. 

The third step is to identify different areas where the lockers are located. On the Codes screen, select Locker Areas. Click Add, fill in the form, and click Save. 

To add specific lockers to that locker area, click on Locker Codes, then click Add. Fill out the form and click Save or Save and Add Next. 

Note that you can save time by importing lockers from a .csv file, which you may already have on hand from your locker vendor. 

You can also assign lockers by going to the Students tab on the main menu. Under Students, select Student Profile. Use the Locker tab on the left to assign a specific locker to a student. 

If you don't see this tab, click Customize Tabs at the top of the tab list and be sure the Locker box is checked. 

Say you need to overhaul your locker arrangements due to construction, for instance. You can use the mass assign/un-assign features. Click the Setup button to the right of Lockers, then select Utilities from the dropdown. Here you'll find the tools for making mass changes to your assignments. 

It's time for you to rest assured knowing that your lockers are ready for the upcoming school year.
