Manually adding a student or parent to your system

We strongly recommend that you always add a student or parent via a sync with your school's Management Information System (MIS) or, if you manually import your data, by editing the import file.

If you need to add a student / parent manually without following those routes you can only do it by adding an appointment for that parent yourself on a current evening.

You do this via Add Appointment and then either clicking Add New Student or selecting and existing student, then Add New Parent (if you import your data rather than syncing with an MIS you will see Link New/Existing Parent). 

Any manually added student or parent will remain on your system until you manually delete them, so if you will later be adding that student / parent from your MIS you will need to do this to avoid having duplicates. You can differentiate a student or parent added this way from one who has been synced as they will be missing the following icon in Data > Parents or Data > Students:
