HOW TO SET DEFAULT TERM

This guide explains how to set the default term for the MySchoolJamaica school management platform using the remote app. The platform uses three academic terms each year: Term 1 (Christmas), Term 2 (Easter), and Term 3 (Summer).

Setting the default term is useful for end users such as teachers and students, as it determines the reporting period for reports, summaries, and dashboard information.

To set the default term using a remote app, follow these steps:

1. Log in as an administrator or principal to the administrative console via the remote app.
2. Locate the menu bar at the top of the main screen and click on the "Maintain" option.
3. From the "Maintain" menu, select "Setup School."
4. In the "Setup School" window, choose the "Controls" tab.
5. Find the "Current Term" field and select the desired term from the drop-down list.
6. Save your selection by clicking "Close."

Keep in mind that you'll need to manually update the default term as the academic year progresses since the system doesn't automatically adjust it
