Create classes, sections, departments, and subjects

Overview

Classes, sections, subjects, and departments are shared across the school. Create them carefully because they are used in student admission, teacher assignment, timetable, attendance, and exams.

Recommended order

Create broad academic data first, then connect it to classes and teachers.

1. Open Academics > Configuration.
2. Create departments, such as Primary, High School, Science, or Languages, if your school uses them.
3. Create subjects with clear names.
4. Open Academics > Classes.
5. Create each class in the order your school follows.
6. Open a class and add sections such as A, B, or C.
7. Assign class teachers after staff records are available.
8. Assign subjects to sections where required.

Best practices

Use simple names that your staff already understand.
