Staff Groups

Staff Groups are a way for caregivers to book multiple staff members at once. They can be added to your parent-teacher conferencing events, and any bookings for the staff group will appear on the timetable of each staff member in the group as if it was an individual booking.

Some examples of staff groups you can make include:

• department heads
• your leadership team
• individual classrooms (so attendees know what option to book)
• a teacher and their student teacher

Things to consider

When setting up and using staff groups there are several key factors to consider:

• If you add a staff member to an event, you can also add a staff group that includes that staff member. This has the potential to cause clashes as attendees could book both the individual staff member and the staff group for the same time.
• Staff groups can have breaks set like an individual staff member.
• Attendees will see the name of the staff group, the description if set, and the names of the staff members in the group.
• Staff added to a staff group while an event is running will inherit any existing bookings for that group. Likewise, a staff member removed from a group will no longer see those bookings on their timetable.
• Staff Groups have a default classroom and meeting URL, which are assigned automatically when they're added to an event.
