Administrator Options

The Administrator Options page is only available to users who log on to txGradebook with a district- or campus-level security administrative user ID. The page allows you to select the teacher for whom you want to log in with administrative privileges. After you select a teacher from this page, you can access txGradebook as if you were that teacher; however, there are some differences:

• The Admin menu is displayed in the main menu. Click Admin to return to this page to select another teacher.

• In the Settings menu, the Update Admin Profile menu item appears instead of Update Profile.

If you have full maintenance access, you can perform all functions, including saving, posting, and printing. If you have inquiry-only access, you can view all pages, but all buttons (except Print buttons) are disabled. Even if you change data in a field, you cannot save changes, so all changes will be lost when you leave the page. Inquiry-only users can print data.

Any changes you make while you are logged in as an administrator are logged with the administrative user ID. This allows you to distinguish between changes actually made by the teacher and changes made by an administrative user.

To set administrator options:

1. From the Login page, type your administrative user ID and password, and then click Login. Instead of going to the Announcements page, you are redirected to the Administrator Options page.

2. Under Run as Teacher, click to select the teacher for whom you want to use txGradebook.

3. If you log in with a campus-level administrative log-in, the drop-down list includes all teachers at the campus who currently have a user ID for txGradebook. The list is sorted alphabetically by the teacher's last name.

4. If you log in with a district-level administrative log-in, you must select a campus from the Select Campus drop-down list. Then, select the teacher from the Select Teacher drop-down list. The list includes all teachers in the district who currently have a user ID for txGradebook.

5. If a teacher teaches at more than one campus, his name is displayed in the list for each campus.

6. The list is sorted alphabetically by the teacher's last name.

The campus ID and name of the teacher for whom you are using txGradebook are displayed on the right side of the main menu.

3. Select a menu from the main menu to access a page.

4. To return to this page to select a different teacher, select Admin Options from the Admin menu.

Synchronize data

If you made changes to txGradebook settings in the iTCCS or RSCCC student systems, the data must be synchronized to ensure that the settings are transferred to txGradebook. To synchronize the data, click Synchronize Data. The data can be synchronized as often as necessary.

If the data was successfully synchronized, the page reloads with a message indicating that the data was successfully synchronized.
