Create a Class for Election Workers
There are two ways to add a training class for Election Workers:
- Create a new class from scratch.
- Copy the information from an existing class and change
any information, such as the description, date, and time, for the
new class. This method is especially useful when you are offering
several sessions of the same class.
Create a class from scratch:
- Go to ELECTION WORKERS
> Train Workers to open the Class
Maintenance dialog.
- Optional.
If you'd like the list of classes to show only those that are in the
future, type today's date in the Show
classes on or after field and press the Tab key. Then,
in response to the message You
have unsaved changes in this dialog, click Cancel. This displays
all upcoming classes so you can see what is already scheduled.
- Click New. In the Edit Class
Details box, the class number is automatically assigned.
- Fill
in the following fields for the class:
- Description—Enter the name of the class. If this class is associated with
an ELM System Class Type, this name will appear in the Course Name
field in ELM System.
- Date/Time—Enter the date and starting time for the class. If you don't
enter AM or PM with the time, Voter Focus inserts AM when you
tab out of the field. You can edit individual characters in this field
if the correct date and time isn't displayed.
- Location—Select the place where the class will be held. If the location
isn't in the list, click Location
Maintenance and add the location.
- Class
Type—Select a class type from the list.
- Duration—Enter the length of the class session in hours, such as 2.5.
When a worker attends the class, these hours are added to the class-hours
total shown in their record.
- Max
Size—Enter the maximum number of students permitted
in the class. Once this maximum number is reached, additional students
cannot be assigned to the class. (The class name will not appear in
the list of classes when you are making class assignments.)
- Click Save Class to add the class to the list of classes.
Create a class by copying information
from an existing class:
- Go to ELECTION WORKERS >
Train Workers.
- On the Class Maintenance
dialog, click the class you want to copy. The information for the
class is displayed in the Edit Class
Details box at the bottom of the dialog.
- Click the down arrow on the New
icon and select New Class (like this
one).
- Fill in the Date/Time
fields for the new class and change any of the other fields as necessary
for the new class.
- Click Save. The new
class is added to the class list.
