Management
Create user accounts, manage existing accounts, delete unused accounts, or reactivate them as needed to manage staff and location changes.
Note: If your district is syncing your Employee Information System with Eduphoria to manage your user accounts, you don’t need to do this step.
Run roles and rights reports and check the Roles and Rights Spreadsheet to set user roles and rights aligned to district policies.
Warning: To avoid a data breach, ensure all district and school administrators have appropriate access to information pertinent to their role for each application.
Review your schools and departments list to create schools and departments or free up licensing by merging and closing schools and departments.
Warning: Deleting schools can affect some data and may cause data loss. Instead, retire irrelevant information with a name change.
Set up the instructional calendar (in Management) so Planners will show accurate instructional dates as teachers write lesson plans over the summer.

Import and export portfolios with a WXE file.
Note: User Portfolios can be exported to a WXE file from one district and imported into another district.

New users to your district might bring their WXE file from their previous district for you to import.
Update elements in your system, including categories and training locations. Add new credit types and instructors and guests as needed.
Warning: Do not delete credit types of instructors as deleting credit types can impact historical data.
