Classroom Editor

The Classroom Editor application allows school site office personnel to add, edit, and delete Classrooms, Locations, and Time Periods for school sites.  Classrooms can be used in the Master Schedule Manager, Seating Chart, and Behavior applications. 

Classrooms which have been created in Q Front Office will be displayed in the Classroom Editor application.

The Classroom Editor application allows users to create Classrooms.  Users can assign room numbers, classroom descriptions, campus locations, room types, and classroom capacities.  Classrooms can potentially be used in multiple locations and throughout several applications in Q.  Classroom locations which have already been created in Q Front Office applications will automatically be displayed in the Q Classroom Editor.  School Classrooms may be sorted by clicking on the column header.

3. Description: Classroom descriptions are used to help users identify which type of classroom is being selected in the Master Schedule Manager application.  Note: Classroom descriptions should be unique in their location and type, easily allowing users to identify which classrooms class sections will be tied to in the Master Schedule Manager application.
4. Location: Classroom locations will facilitate mass assignment of student lockers based on classroom/location.  Locations allow users to easily identify where classrooms are located in relation to lockers.
5. Type: Select the type of room being added.  Types may include items such as, but not limited to Classroom, Gym, Lab, etc.
6. Capacity: Enter the maximum room capacity or the maximum number of seats in a room.
