I have installed gibbon successfully. However, i have added teachers and students in user admin and set them to FULL and have set up all of these:
Manage Days of the Week
Manage School Years
Manage Special Days
Manage Terms
Manage Year Groups
I have tried to set up a roll group but only the administrator user is available to add to that role group.
All users appear in the user admin menu but not in the People or Staff lists.
Please advise…what am i doing wrong?
Anyone?
Bill,
Patience is a virtue, as they say! Please give us 48 hours to respond before bumping posts. We try and do it in less, but can’t make any promises.
Users added in User Admin are just that: users. To make users into Staff you need to add them under Manage Staff in People > Staff in the main menu. Similarly, students need to be enroled, under Student Enrolment under People > Students in the main menu. Once you have done these steps, they should start showing up in relevant lists.
Hope this helps, good luck, and let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you. I get it now. So users need to be updated to people. Would it not be easier to set that flag as you create a user? .Seems long-winded. However…Thanks for your help.

Bill,
Well, the user form is already really long, so I was loath to add extra fields for each of the types of user…student, staff, parent. Commons fields are thus dealt with in User, non-common in other areas. Many ways to skin a cat!
