"FOCUSES": If enabled (via the SELECT BY FOCUS? option in Schedule Management), WCONLINE displays a focus drop-down menu at the top of the schedule. This allows clients to select a focus and see only resources who share that focus. For example, if three of your resources list a focus of "English 101" in this field, only those three resources will appear if "English 101" is selected from the drop-down at the top of the schedule. This field lets you define the focuses for which this staff or resource is available.
Focuses should be entered as a comma separated list and can contain only letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens. Finally, note that you can change the focus selection prompt as displayed on the schedule using "Language Options" available within the "Area Tools" of Global System Settings.
It is important to remember that focuses are created at the staff level, so it will be important to have a standard list of focuses applied consistently to all added staff.
Admin users will need to follow the instructions below for setting up staff in WCOnline. Fields in bold are required or highly recommended.
Note: administrators will need to be added as a staff member to their respective schedule(s). Once an admin is added to a schedule, they can be duplicated to others as needed.
For Regular or Basic Administrator staff:
