NSW - Student Free Days
Overview

In order to account for the school-wide absence for that specific day you must cancel the classes for the day; this will remove rolls.Once you have imported data re cancelling the classes from your timetable software, this should reflect on your Compass portal.
Permissions
To be able to cancel classes via the Daily Organisation page or to import changes from your external timetable software, you will need to be part of the DailyOrg Permission Role Group.For information on this, please refer to the Permissions article from our Knowledge Base.
Cancelling Classes through Daily Organisation
To cancel the classes for the day go to the Daily Organisation page, which can be accessed in the Organisation menu (grid icon). Click the 'Class Manager' tab to view the classes running for the day.
Once you've selected the correct date at the top right you should see the classes for that date in the table below. To cancel the classes you will want to select them all using the tick box at the top left of the table.
In order to cancel all classes at once you may need to increase the amount of items listed. In the example above you can see the table is only display 20 classes out of 169. To ensure that we will cancel everything, the Items number should be changed to 200 so that all 169 classes are listed on the page.
Be sure to click the top tick box at the left to select every row on the screen, and then click the 'Cancel Selected' button which has a big red X. This will cancel all classes that had been highlighted. You will receive a message confirming that you wish to make these changes. Click 'OK' to confirm.
Prep Free Days
Many schools have a program where the new prep/foundation/kindergarten students do not attend on certain days of the week. To facilitate this you can follow the steps listed above but instead of cancelling the classes for all students, only select the applicable foundation classes.Related Articles
