This program will allow you to modify when the system makes calls, which calls, and for which schools.


  1. On the left, click on System
  2. Under Entry, select Communication Configuration
  3. If you need instructions for setup values to be used, follow the link for Standard Setup Options.
  4. Click the Ok button.
  5. Under the heading Call Time Options, set the start and stop times for all calls going out the parents for each group of days. (Monday - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
  6. A separate call start time can be set for new assignments created by teachers. This option can be found under New Assignment Call Time. A start time is all that is needed as the system will follow the stop time found under Call Time Options.
  7. Group Call Options will allow for different types of calls to be grouped together so that a parent will not receive multiple phone calls throughout the day. Apply a start time for Monday - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The system will follow the stop time found under Call Time Options. After setting the start times, enter the codes of the call types, separated by commas, to group together in the field labeled Grouped Call Types.
  8. Do Not Call will give the user the ability to exclude students at selected schools from receiving calls and the ability to not send selected call types. To not send certain call types to students and parents, in the field labeled Excluded Call Types enter the call type codes separated by commas. To exclude schools from sending calls to students and parent, enter the school site codes separated by commas into the field labeled Excluded Schools.
  9. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen when done.
