This article is for IT support. 

Time periods are a type of Object that can be used to manage and fine-tune your School Manager and Classwize configurations. Time Periods are used to limit the time of day and days School Manager filtering and/or Classwize functions are active.

A specific Time Periods object can be used to configure:

Feature Description Example
Classwize Allowed Time Periods Setting when Classwize Classrooms can run throughout the day. Science class can only run from 1 pm to 3 pm.
Classwize Student Journey Report Generating reports about student online activities whilst in a Classwize Classroom. Classwize Reporting can only occur from 9 am to 3:30 pm.
Time Based Content Filtering Rules Setting when filtering rules do and do not apply. Schools allow after-school e-sports clubs to operate safely during specific times at school. For example, allow games from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm.

 

Configuring Time Periods

It is important to adhere to a few rules when adding a new time period. These include:

  • Start time must be earlier than the End time, and entered in HH:MM format 08:30 to 22:00.
  • One full day is: 00:01 to 23:59 (when entering midnight, as 00:00 is not a valid start time).
  • Create two separate entries in the Time Period to loop around to another day: 21:00 to 23:59 and 00:01 to 05:00.
