For a Homework to be visible to Students/Parents, the conditions below must take place:

 

Setting 1 enabled

Either:

 

• The below setting is enabled

Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Allow Staff/Teachers to Enter/Modify publish time

 

 

So, the staff or teachers can set the Publish Date of each homework, during creation.

Note! This setting overwrites the homework “Approval” status. Even if the homework is not Approved, it will still be published at the Publish Date.

 

Setting 2 enabled

Or:

 

• The below setting is enabled

Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Set the time (institute time) for automated publication of Homework to parents/Student

 

 

So, all saved homework will be published at this time every day, no matter the date of the homework or the “Approval” status of the homework.

Note! As in previous case, this setting overwrites the homework “Approval” status. Even if the homework is not Approved, it will still be published.

 

Setting 1 & Setting 2 enabled

 

Or:

 

• Both settings explained above are enabled

(Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Allow Staff/Teachers to Enter/Modify publish time

Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Set the time (institute time) for automated publication of Homework to parents/Student)

 

So, the system will first expect the user to set the Publish Date and if not, it will automatically publish at the time from the second setting, as the second setting explained above.

 

None of the Settings enabled

 

Or:

• None of the settings explained above is enabled

(Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Allow Staff/Teachers to Enter/Modify publish time

Main Settings > General Settings > Homework > Set the time (institute time) for automated publication of Homework to parents/Student)

 

So, the “Approval” status of the Homework, is the condition being checked for a homework to be published.

 

 

Which is configured as below:

 

Either with the “Auto-approval” at the Homework Scenario

Or with a manual Approval from the list of Homework.

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

 

How To publish (Visible)

 

homework to Students/Parents, you must

• either enable the setting Allow Staff/Teachers to Enter/Modify publish time (setting 1) and manually set the “Publish Date” of each homework during creation (no approval status checked here)
• or enable the setting Set the time (institute time) for automated publication of Homework to parents/Student (setting 2) so all homework will automatically be published at the set time (no approval status checked here as well)
• or disable the above settings and work with the “Approval” status at the homework, which can be set at the Homework Scenario to be auto-approved to all, or by manually approving the homework entries in a bulk action from the list of homework.

If both settings are enabled, they will just work with the written order (if none publish date is defined, then automatically publish according to setting 2)
