Configuring Languages when adding a Parent user
Adding a new parent individually
Navigate to Settings > School Directory > Roster and select the Add User button.
Select the Parent user type and your preferred language for that parent by clicking on the dropdown menu under 'UI Language'. Fill in the rest of the form, then click Add User at the bottom of the page.
Adding or Updating Parents in Bulk
To add or update parents in bulk, navigate to Settings > Import Manager > Parents. Select Download CSV Template to get the template. Fill out the required fields (listed in red in the example at the top of the page), along with the additional optional field entitled 'UI Language'.
Choose the completed file under Select the file to upload, then choose Create new parent accounts or Update existing parent accounts and select Proceed to review.
Any existing parents must have the same email address in the email field as their current account on ManageBac+, or the system will create them as new users.
Editing Existing Parent Profiles
To edit one existing parent, go to Settings > School Directory > Roster > Parents and select the parent you wish to edit. You can then change the UI Language for the parent here. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page once done.
