System-wide settings for the digital class register

The behaviour of the digital class register can be customised under Admin → Configuration → Class Register. The section contains the following preferences:

• Block adding personal notes for cancelled lessons: If this option is activated, teachers will not be able to add personal notes for cancelled lessons.
• Allow users to view their own personal notes: With this option, the school management can control whether students should be able to view their own personal notes.
• Allow primary group owners to register future absences for students in their groups: This allows owners of the student's primary group (e. g. the class) to register future absences like doctor's appointments or family celebrations.
• Grant the owner of a parent group the same privileges as the owners of the respective child groups: The owner of a group can perform all operations on child groups and related objects an owner of the respected child groups is allowed to (e. g. editing the lesson documentation).
• Allow original teachers to edit their lessons although they are substituted: In the case of substitute teaching, absent teachers can be given write-in privileges for the lesson.
• Carry over data from first lesson period to the following lesson periods in lessons over multiple periods: For double (or even more adjacent) lessons, the lesson data from the first lesson period can be automatically carried over to the following lessons.
• Carry over personal notes to all following lesson periods on the same day: For double (or more adjacent) lessons, the personal notes from the first lesson period can be automatically carried over to the following lessons.
• Allow teachers to open lesson periods on the same day and not just at the beginning of the period: Teachers can open lessons earlier on the same day and not just at the beginning of the lesson.
• Allow teachers to add data for lessons in holidays: It is possible to allow entering content for lessons during the holidays.
• Allow group owners to assign group roles to the parents of the group's members: With this being activated, group roles like parent representatives can be managed by the class teacher.
