It provides detailed instruction, guidance, and explanation of the system and the tasks necessary to complete your job in the most efficient manner possible. As staff roles may vary from District to District, Daily Operations has been broken down to reflect job requirements.

As you read through this guide, you should see the majority of instructions broken down into steps. Many words have been noted in bold to assist in locating the appropriate action in a step.  Images contain highlights, arrows, and notation to assist in proper understanding and navigation while performing tasks.

All expansions are visible when exporting a page or space to MS Word or PDF formats. For details on exporting documentation, refer to Printing & Exporting in Confluence in the Tips section of the Knowledge Base.

 

  • Tabs - Tabs are located at the top of the ribbon menu for quick navigation between major operations within the system. This allows you to toggle between tabs to perform other actions. 

If you do not see all of the tabs as shown in the image below, it means your system role does not have permission to access or perform tasks in these tabs.

  • Ribbon Menu - The ribbon menu consists of icons to allow quick access of tasks and daily operations. Ribbons are typically broken down into groups of actions that are performed in a sequence.

  • Table of Contents - The table of contents provides links to sections in the page to allow for quick navigation and access of information.
