Locking Terms

Overview

AE-Connect enables users to lock terms. Locking a term restricts any modifications to the classes, assignments, grades, term grades, skills and report cards  within that term.

Description

Administrators with the appropriate permissions for managing terms have the capability to lock or unlock terms.

Unlocked Terms: Users are permitted to edit classes, assignments, grades, term grades, social development skills, and report cards.

Locked Terms: Users are restricted from editing classes, assignments, grades, term grades, social development skills, and report cards.

Users can manage the locking status of terms by navigating to Scheduling > Terms. When the user has the necessary permission enabled, a lock icon will be displayed. Clicking this icon will toggle the lock status. A locked term is represented by a solid lock icon, whereas an unlocked term is indicated by an outlined lock icon.
