Creating Classes

Classes provide information about the name of the class, the teacher of the class and the students enrolled in that class. In reports, the class also holds the specific Subject Assessment the school wishes the teacher/s to report on. These may have already been created (during the initial implementation process for ICON reporting) but it may be necessary to create additional reporting classes in eSIS.

To create additional reporting classes:

• Open Class Maintenance by clicking on the Assess tile and selecting Class Maintenance from the drop down menu: 

• Clear the Staff Code criteria from the Set Class Search Criteria window (this defaults to the user's staff code)

• Select the File Type (Academic), Year (current year) and Semester (current semester) from the drop down boxes

• Click OK: 

• Start to create a new class by clicking the New button at the top left of the Class Maintenance window (on the right):

• Create the new class by entering a Class Code and a Description. Class codes should be consistent with ICON requirements. The description can be the same as the class code or could be the title of the class

• Click Next:

The Class Details window allows more details about the class to be added.

• If the Subject Assessment Area has been created, the Assessment Code can be added (this will assign a report to the class)

• If known, the Staff Member can be added. Additional staff members can be added later

• Once completed, click Finish:

The window will open to the General tab. 

Adding Students to Classes

• Click on the Students tab

• Click Add Students on the right hand side.

A new Bulk Add of Students in Classes window will open:

• Students can be added in many ways including by House, Form, Year Level or copied from another class

• Select from the appropriate drop down menu 

• Click Add Classes:

• A window will appear asking if you want to continue

• Click Yes

The students will be added to the class.

The reporting class has now been created. It will appear in the 'Classes' widget for the teacher/s assigned to the class and once an assessment code is added, teachers will be able to add data for reports.
