TERMS



Setting up terms for the system is vital as the system is term driven and modules like curriculum, require this as the foundation for later use. In public schools, it is typical to create 4 terms per year where private schools may only have 3 terms. The best practice is to create all terms for the particular year at the same time. This is normally done during the implementation phase of the system. Ensuring that term dates are correct is important, as it affects areas like the absenteeism functionality for learners and educators on the system.
