Staff are the employees within a site to which an item is issued. TIPWeb-IT updates your staff automatically through a data import process where the data is exported from your student management system. This significantly reduces the amount of data you would otherwise be required to manually add to this database.
Adding staff members manually is possible. Best practice is to use the ID number produced by your student management system when manually adding. This will allow the data import to update the record you added and will not create a second account for the same staff member.
Entering optional fields, such as Staff Type and Grade, will allow you to search for and filter reports by those fields for staff members.
The Staff Homeroom Association field allows site level users and administrators to associate staff members directly to a room within the application. Associating staff to a room helps physically locating the staff member on a campus and the items issued to the staff member.
Staff members must be active and have a valid e-mail listed in their Staff profile in order to receive e-mail notifications for participating in Homeroom and Staff Audits.
