Managing Delegates

Forethought allows you to delegate the task of editing the scope and sequence to teachers or assistants by assigning specific courses to them.

Creating a Delegate

On the Manage tab, select Assign Delegates.
Click the Create a New Delegate button under Delegate Options.
On the Add Course Delegate wizard, enter a complete or partial name or email address and then click Next.
Select the appropriate teacher and select Next.
Select Finish.

Creating a teacher as a delegate does not automatically give them the ability to edit courses. Individual courses and permissions for each course will need to be assigned.
