Customising the Parent Contacts tab
Use the Parent Contacts tab to enable
- parents to share their details with their student's peer year group
- parents and students to view shared parent contact details from the student's peer year group.
Parents need to repeat their selections for each student peer year group. For example, a parent with two children in different year levels would need to enter selections twice.
You can customise how the Community Portal displays the Parent Contacts tab and configure how changes are processed by Synergetic.
Customising the tab using the Admin Panel
Community Portal administrators can customise the tab using the Menu sub-tab of the Online Configuration window. See Online Configuration - Menu sub-tab.
Tip: Admin user logins are separated by commas between the <AdminUserNames></AdminUserNames> tags in the XML configuration file. See Editing the SynCommPortal.xml configuration file.
Tip: You can also access the Admin Panel if you have been assigned the CommunityPortalAdminPanel security resource in Group/User Security Maintenance. See Group Security Maintenance - Groups View in the Synergetic System maintenance manual.
