Your setup checklist, explained

When you open the Admin page, the Finish setting up TardySweep panel at the top lists what still needs doing. Each card has a button that takes you straight to the right place.

The required steps

These four need to be done before your team starts logging tardies:

• Add your school details: name, location and time zone
• Set your calendar & terms: when the year starts and how it's divided
• Build your bell schedule: so TardySweep knows which period a student was late to
• Add your students: reports, totals and rules all need a student list

The optional steps

Click Optional: more you can set up any time to see them:

• Create your first tardy pass: only if you want to print passes. Passes are optional, and TardySweep works fully without them.
• Invite your team
• Set up consequence rules
• Name your tardy locations

Hiding the panel

Hide for a day tucks the panel away until tomorrow. Dismiss hides it once setup is done.

Tip: Once the required steps are done, see Set up a tardy station to get the computers (and any printers or barcode scanners) at your entrances ready for the first day.

Tip: A finished step can come back. TardySweep checks your real data. If, for example, every student gets archived, Add your students will show up again. That's a helpful warning, not an error.
