How to add custom fields to students and teachers records
Sematime may not always have all the data fields the school uses to capture student or teacher records so we use 'Custom Fields' for all extra data fields.
For example, you may need to capture the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) number of each student or the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) employment numbers for teachers. By default, Sematime Academics does not support these data fields so you'd have to add them as 'Custom Fields'.
Go to 'Home' view and select 'Settings' on the menu. You will be taken to the 'Update your account' settings page from where you need to click on 'Custom Fields'.
If creating a custom field for students, click the 'Create new field' link next to 'Student Fields' input the name of the new field and click 'OK'. The process of adding custom fields to teacher records is the same only that you need to do under the 'Teacher Fields' section.
Going back to your 'Students' details you will find that Sematime has now added the new 'Custom Fields' as data columns in your students records.
If you need to capture the custom fields data for a student, search your records by name or admission number/student ID then select the student to view the 'Data Editor Panel' and input the new data.
