Manage subjects

Use the Subjects pages to keep a list of every subject your school teaches. Then choose which of those subjects each class studies. Do this at the start of the year, or when you add a new subject.

Before you start

• Add your classes first on the Classes page. If you see Add your classes first (Classes page)., no classes exist yet.
• A class can only get subjects that are already in the subject list. If you see Add subjects first in the Subjects tab., add them there first.

Add a subject to the list

1. Open Subjects → Subjects.
2. Click Add subject.
3. Type the Name, for example Mathematics.
4. Type a short Code, for example MATH.
5. Choose the Type.
6. If students can choose this subject, tick Optional / elective subject.
7. Save the subject.

If you are just starting, you can use Add usual subjects to add common subjects in one go, instead of typing each one.

Choose the subjects for a class

1. Open Subjects → Class subjects.
2. Pick the class under Select class.
3. Add the subjects this class studies from your subject list.
4. Check the Full and Pass marks shown for each subject.
5. To take a subject off this class, click Remove.

When your changes are kept, you will see Saved.

Good to know

• If a class shows No subjects set for this class, its subjects are not added yet. Add them in the Class subjects tab.
• A subject marked Elective is one that only some students take. See the article Electives and subject combinations.
• To choose who teaches each subject, see Assign teachers to subjects.
• In colleges and coaching centres, classes may be called courses or batches.
