Access your seating charts by hovering over the Charts menu. Under the Charts menu you may either choose from the seating charts you have already created or you can add a new Grid or Freeform chart.

Adding a Grid Seating Chart

If you have selected to add the Grid seating chart you will be brought to the Edit seating chart menu. The Grid Seating Chart allows you to create a seating chart based in rows and columns.

  • On your Grid seating chart you will need to create a Chart Name for your chart. From there you will be able to choose your Seating Chart Configurations.

  • Student Name Format - Here you can choose how your students’ names are displayed on your chart as well as choosing to sort by alpha and which information is displayed with the name.

  • Front of Classroom - you can choose where the front of your classroom is.

  • Seating Chart Dimensions - You can either use the sliders or + and – buttons to expand or shrink the chart

  • Unassigned Students - This list appears on the bottom right of your screen but can be moved by selecting the title and dragging it. 

    • Here you can fill by alpha or random. 

    • Once they have been filled in the chart you can click randomize or sort to resort your chart. 

    • You may drag certain students back from the chart to the unassigned students list. 

    • Click Clear to remove all students if you want to start again.

  • Click Save when your Seating Chart is complete

 

Adding a Freeform Seating Chart (Furniture / Custom Room Layouts)

If you choose to have a custom room layout you can select the Freeform seating chart. The Freeform Seating Chart allows you to create a seating chart in any pattern. You can also choose from a Template if you have created one.

On your Freeform seating chart you will need to create a Seating Chart Name for your chart. From there you will be able to choose your Seating Chart Configurations.

 

  • Students -  Here you can fill in the unassigned student by alpha or random. 

    • You can click and drag any student on and off the list. 

    • Once they have been filled in the chart you can click randomize or sort to resort your chart. 

    • Click Clear to remove all students.

  • Furniture - You can choose furniture and set up your freeform chart to mirror your actual classroom.

    • Student’s names can be dragged into the chairs on the chart.

  • Pinning a Student - When you put students in chairs you can “Pin” them to the seat so that the chair and the student will move together.

  • Preferences - Here you can choose how your students’ names are displayed in addition to what information per student is shown on your chart. 

    • You can also choose the orientation of the classroom, student fill order, and lock furniture.
