Moving a collection when you change schools
When moving from one school to another, entries created on the first school will stay with that first school but access to them remains. Copies of the entries will need to be created if they are to be used in a collection at the new school. These steps should be followed to create copies.
- Log in and names for two schools will be seen at the top of the left-hand menu. One for the old school and another for the new school.
- Right-click on the appropriate menu ‘Dashboard’ link for the old school and choose 'Open link in a new tab'.
- The web browser will now have two tabs open but will be for the same school. The second tab in your browser should then be chosen and the second school name selected so each browser tab is showing a different school.
- From the browser tab for the new school, choose the desired ‘Add new’ button to begin building an entry in the new school’s dashboard.
- From the browser tab for the old school, open the entry to be copied. Select and copy the blocks of text throughout the entry to the equivalent space in the new entry, open in the second. Note: You can still view the entries on the old school’s dashboard but as read/copy only - it cannot be edited.
- Return to the new school’s browser tab and, in the new entry being created, paste the block of text copied from the older entry. This entry and all entries on the new school’s dashboard can be edited as needed.
- If files are a part of the entry, they remain with a change of schools. Search for and choose the required file(s) to add to the entry.
- Repeat steps 5-7 until copying and re-adding supporting files is complete and the entry is complete.
- Repeat steps 4-7 until copying all entries from the old school’s dashboard to the new school’s dashboard is finished.
