Create levels
Define the grade or year levels that organise your school's academic hierarchy.
A level represents a grade or year of study — for example Grade 1, Year 7, or Première année. Levels are the backbone of your academic structure: classes are attached to levels, and students are enrolled into a class at a given level.
Who this is for
Administrators building the core academic hierarchy for an academic year.
Before you start
- An academic year must already exist and be selected in the year switcher at the top of the screen. Every level you create belongs to that year.
- Plan your full list of levels first (for example Grade 1 through Grade 6) so the ordering and codes stay consistent.
Steps
Open the Levels page
From the admin sidebar, go to Academic → Levels. Make sure the academic year shown in the top switcher is the one you want to build.
Start a new level
Click Add Level. A form opens where you enter the level details.
Fill in the level details
Complete the fields below, then click Create Level.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Level label | Yes | The display name shown across the app, e.g. Grade 1. |
| Code | Yes | A short identifier, max 15 characters, e.g. G1. Used in reports and timetables. |
| Description | No | Optional notes about the level. |
| Student attendance mode | No | How attendance is taken for this level (for example per-day or per-session). It can be locked later once attendance is in use. |
Confirm the level appears
The new level is added to the Levels list immediately. Repeat for every level your school offers.
Attendance mode
Once attendance has been recorded for a level, its attendance mode is locked and can no longer be changed. Choose it carefully when you create the level.
