What are Seating templates?
School administrators can create Seating templates for teachers to use. A template is a predefined set of rows and columns, as well as desk configurations if desired.
Administrators could create a template for each classroom so can jump straight into seating their students, saving them precious time particularly at the beginning of a new academic year!
Create Seating templates
Go to Admin > Manage Seating
Go to Seating templates
Start by clicking Create new seating template
Give your template a name, e.g. the room, and select the grid (number of rows and columns)
Next, you can drag and drop the desks in the right configuration.
Click Create seating template or Save and add another seating template to make another one!
Make sure to activate the template once finished! Only active templates are shown to teachers. Templates can be edited, deactivated or deleted by admins at any time.
Unlike class seating plans, templates are not archived when a new academic year starts because they are not linked to specific classes. This means they can be accessed, reused and adjusted any time.
💡Top tip: Teachers can also reuse the layout of any plan that has previously been made by them or another colleague.
