3. Type of field.

Access Settings:

The fields on these cards can be filled in by teachers and students (or parents) if you allow them to. This can be useful if you want the student to choose their course preference for next year, for example. However, the information on the card might also be of a type that you do not want non-admin people to view.

Once you have saved your custom fields three check boxes will appear:

1. Is active – i.e. it appears on the card.
2. Is viewable and editable by the student or parent.
3. Is viewable and editable by the teacher.
4. Is viewable when assigning students to groups.

Untick the box to remove access rights.
