Adding Users

The installation script will create one SysAdmin user, from this other users (staff and student) can be created. Usually staff are created as needed whereas students can be bulk enrolled.

1. Add Staff by selecting 'Search'->'People' and then 'Create new user' from the sidebar menu.
2. Individual Students can be added in the same way as staff (point 1).
3. Bulk enrolments of students can be done by selecting 'Search'->'People' and then 'Import Students'. This will take a CSV formatted file appropriately formatted.
4. After Student accounts have been created they must be enrolled on modules. Single module enrolments can be handled by going into a student's account and selecting the 'Modules' tab. Bulk enrolments can be handled by selecting 'Import Modules'.

Online Help

By default MySQL will not index three letter words. There are words such as 'MCQ' which are important in the help. To make MySQL index such words you need to edit my.ini:

[mysqld]
ft_min_word_len=3

After this restart MySQL and rebuild indexes using:

REPAIR TABLE staff_help QUICK;
REPAIR TABLE student_help QUICK;
