1. Access the Parents Module from the left main menu by selecting ‘Parent’.
2. You will be taken to a page that contains a list of all parents registered on the system, as illustrated in the image below:
You can change the status of any parent entry in the list by clicking the yellow light bulb icon. The current status of the field will then be displayed on an icon of a lamp next to the name of the parent.
A green lamp next to the name of a parent indicates that the parent account is active.
A red lamp next to the name of a parent indicates that the parent account is inactive.
You can edit any entry that is in the list by clicking on the ‘Edit’ icon that is in-line with each entry.
You can also remove any entry by clicking the ‘Remove’ icon that is next to the entry, which is denoted by a trash bin image.
3. To modify a record in the list, click on ‘Add Parent’ or ‘Edit’.
