3. To edit the parent/child relationship, first select the parent from the Contact
menu. If the parent of interest is not listed as a contact for this student, you may
need to add them to the list. Please refer to Attendance-Edit-Edit Student Data for
more details on adding contacts for a student.
Note: A parent may have a different contact type for different students. This
may need to be edited for each of the parents' children.
4. To designate a parent as a primary contact, click on the Relationship menu and
select Primary.
5. The checkbox labeled Include in Mailings must be checked for this parent to be
able to access on-line data for this student.
6. Click on the Save button to save any changes made to the parent/child
relationship.
Processing Contact Update Requests From Parents
Parents may periodically submit update requests for their contact data. The request may
be as simple as adding a phone number for a new cell phone. In other cases the request
could be on a larger scale, such as a family moving to a new location.
Office personnel will periodically need to process or "merge" these submissions. The
office personnel will have the capability of completely or selectively accepting or
rejecting each update submission as they process the requests.
1. Select Attendance—Contact—Merge Contact Submissions. The screen will
appear similar to Figure P3.
Note: Merging contact submissions will require the user to have Read/Write
access permission to Student General Data.
2. A contact request will appear on the screen. Click on one of the three buttons to
take the appropriate action.
Stop button To stop processing contact update requests and return to the
main screen of the JMC Office Application, click on the Stop button.
Reject button To reject the currently displayed update request, click on the
Reject button. If there are further pending submissions, the next pending
update request will then be displayed on the screen.
