School Hours Schedule Update

As part of our Data Privacy Initiative at Mobile Guardian, we have made important changes to limit the times that teachers are able to start classes and thus track student web filter traffic.

It is our hope that this will also reduce the complexity when trying to determine whether a parent or school is in control of a device at any given time, since this schedule will be used instead of trying to use profiles applied to a device by tag or its own schedule.

Important Note:  When these improvements are released you will need to ensure you have added the school or district schedule setting before teachers need to start classes, otherwise their experience with Mobile Guardian would be negatively affected. The next Mobile Guardian release is scheduled for 20 February.

Steps to Add School Hours:

• District 
• Ensure that you have set up a schedule and pushed it down to all your linked schools. This can be created from the District dashboard under Resources > Schedules.
• To set global school hours for all your linked school, navigate to the Global Preferences section and select one of your predefined schedules for your schools.

• You can also set individual school hours per school. In order to do this you, navigate to School List, edit your school and add a predefined schedule which has already been pushed down to the school. Please note this method will override the Global School hours set.

• School 
• Navigate to your Global Preferences and select your predefined schedule for your school hours.
