Staff Groups

Staff groups allow you to organize staff in the Faculty List From Faculty Database tool. Within this tool, you will be able to select groups of staff to display on the page. If the search option is selected, visitors will be able to filter by staff groups.

Note that 4Schools Groups provide a way to mass email passwords and to edit WebOffice4Schools permissions to the group. 

Actions

1. Groups: Manage the staff groups that can be selected in the Faculty List From Faculty Database tool and display in the search filter for the tool. 
2. Universal Text: Add text that will display at the bottom of each staff site home page.
3. Universal Links: Add links that will display at the end of the navigation on each staff site.
4. Users Database: Navigate to the 4Schools Users Database to manage user accounts.
5. Protect Email in Profiles: When a faculty member's email address is displayed in their profile on their home page, you can protect that email address from spammers and email harvesting by turning this option on.
6. Use Email Form in Profiles: When a faculty member's email address is clicked on in their profile on their home page, the user can be sent to a standard email form that asks for the sender's email address, subject line, and message body.
   Note that CAPTCHA will be forced when the Email Form is used.
