Education Module - WebCenter Setup Overview

What is the Education Module?

The Education module is an enhanced set of features in both Enterprise as well as WebCenter, that when used in conjunction with each other, allow a school district or a staffing company to manage their substitute teacher order requests, placement and payroll.

WebCenter Setup

Both the school administrators and teachers who will be entering substitute teacher requests in WebCenter (Contacts) as well as the substitute teachers (Employee) who will be viewing and accepting jobs will need to have a WebCenter Account with proper WebCenter User Role permissions. 

There will also be set up for additional Educational module features including being able to request or accept requests for substitutes and utilizing WebCenter Timecards to track substitute time. 

Setup Includes:

  1. Giving Substitutes, Teachers, and Admins Access 
  2. Setting Up Substitute Request Forms
  3. Configuring Substitute Timecards



Giving Substitutes/Teachers/Admins Access

You will want to set up specific roles for your substitutes, teachers, and administrators to ensure they have access to exactly what they need. 

Setting Up Substitute Teacher Role (Employee)

In WebCenter Admin, click on the Roles Button, then select Employee:

 We recommend you create a separate User Role for substitutes giving them this permission, as traditional staffing employees you generally do not want them to be able to self assign to orders.

Substitutes will need the "Employee - Orders" Permission checked in order to accept substitute requests in the system.

Inviting Substitutes to WebCenter

Each substitute in your system will need to be invited to use WebCenter and given the proper role to be able to see and accept substitute requests. Substitutes are part of your employee base. You will need to create an employee record for each Sub if you have not already. 

On the employee's record in Enterprise, navigate to the actions menu and select Manage Web User Account 

Invite them via email and select the appropriate Substitute WebCenter Role you created:

Setting Up Teacher/Administrator Role (Contact)

The Teachers and Administrators (Contacts) will need a WebCenter role that gives them access to see the orders in WebCenter. It is this same permission that also allows them to submit order requests.

In WebCenter Admin, click on the Roles Button, then select Contact:

Teachers/Admins will need the "Customer - Orders" permission checked in order to see the orders tab in WebCenter. 

If the contact has this permission AND a configuration is turned on to allow orders to be created/submitted via WebCenter, Contacts with this permission will be able to submit substitute teacher requests via WebCenter.

Inviting Teachers/Admins to WebCenter

Once you have set up a role for teachers/admins, you will need to invite them to WebCenter so they can access the information they need. Teachers and admins for the school district will be set up as contacts under the school district (customer) records. Each teacher or admin that will be submitting, reviewing, or approving requests for substitutes, will need to be invited to WebCenter. 

On the contact's record, navigate to the actions menu and select Manage Web User Account: 

Invite them via email and select the correct role for teachers/admins:
