Hi Karen,

I just heard back from our web content team; all the class notes should be attached to the lesson. Not for all grades though, Pre-K and Grades 2-3 don't have them. If you don't see them for a particular lesson please let us know and we can check on that for you.

Thanks!

Please Create a Music coordinator role

vbs 2 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 2 years ago 1

I have read some of the public comments about creating a Music Coordinator position and one thread suggest using the drama position but that won't solve the issue. You really need to have a "Music" role under the coordinator access. I have one person for drama and another for Music. It will get confusing when either or are accessing material they need to use.  Just like we can change the Teams and team colors, we should be able to do the same for the coordinator. 

Answer

Updating and improving the coordinator roles has been a very common request already this year (and in the past), both for adding new ones and locking down edit permissions for the non-director roles. The way the system is set up at present, people either get full view/add/edit permissions or nothing for students, volunteers, teams, etc.


It would be really nice to be able to segment out those permissions more and we are evaluating how best to do that. The issue at present is if we remove permissions from any of the sub-director roles, they would also lose access to viewing the various sections as well, so we would need to adjust those permissions to allow for view-only access.

The Teacher role is the most restricted at the moment, just giving access to the digital library and promotion tools.

Coordinators

1. Is there an article somewhere with a detailed description of each coordinator role?  The drop down box of choosing roles does not say what the teacher role can/cannot access.

2.  Is there ANY way we can edit coordinator roles?  We don't need our music, games, drama, crafts, etc leaders to be able to edit, view, and delete personal volunteer and student information.

Answer

1. The teacher role only has access to their checklist and the VBS Digital library.  We have a task to update the description of the Teacher role but our development resources are severely limited at present so I can't promise a timeframe on that fix.

2. No, VBS Digital does not currently support editing the existing coordinator roles. I just checked on the permissions setup in the backend and it doesn't currently allow for granular permissions among the various roles, so it is all or nothing for students, volunteers, teams, etc. Those roles need to be able to view the students, volunteers, and teams, so they are set up like that for now.
Further breaking apart the permissions and improving the coordinator roles and permissions is is something we definitely want to add. When we do get some more help I will be sure to prioritize presenting that as an area that needs work.

Thanks for your feedback!

Why does the first lesson start on lesson 5 not lesson 1?

Answer

Hi Laura,

I can help you with that! The class starts with lesson 1 by default, but if you select a different starting lesson it will jump ahead like that. I've reset your class to start with lesson 1 on Feb. 6; please let us know if you need anything else!

pdf not generating for lesson 96 3rd grade Unit 10

Lois 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 2

I am having trouble printing any pdf for Lesson 96 Unit 10. Is anyone else having trouble?

Answer

Hi Lois,

Yes, our PDF generation system broke but was resolved yesterday. While it was down that caused the generation of PDFs on MyAnswers to break. Our team fixed this issue yesterday, so PDF generation should work like normal now. If you have any other questions or issues, please let us know!

Blessings,

Previous and Current Lesson issue

Chelsea Mulford 2 years ago updated by Ty Donaldson 1 year ago 1

The Previous and Current Lesson aren't lining up with the correct date of lesson.  For example, the next lesson is Jan 2, 2022 but is not highlighted as such.  Instead it's highlighted as 'previous lesson'.  These issues are both in my 3-5 class and 6-8 class.

Answer

Hi Chelsea,

Sorry about that; postponed lessons can mess up the current/previous lesson indicators if too many of them stack up.


I have updated your three classes to be on lesson 39 for this Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022.


Please let us know if you need anything else!

Happy New Year!

Customizable printing

24missymartin 2 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 2 years ago 1

Hi, I signed up for the free trial. I really like the digital material that I see so far. I was wondering if there was a way to customize the printing options. I used the Grow and Dig In curriculums in the past and a great feature was the ability to click on certain lesson components and print only those options in a nice quality pdf that is visually appealing. If you click on print all options, it is a 35 page printout. Also, if you download the teacher's guide, there are all the games and instructions included. For feedback purposes, it would be nice to choose the components and maybe even the order then be able to download it for a visually appealing printable pdf to hand out to the teachers. I do love the content and am looking forward to exploring more.

Thank you.

Answer

Good morning Missy,

I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the ABC curriculum!

You can print out certain lesson sections from ABC Digital by going to a lesson, clicking the print icon, checking the sections, then clicking "Print Selected".

If you are printing from the Teacher Guide PDF, you can make a selection and print only that from the print settings, and/or you can select specific pages to print so you don't have to print out the full guide.

Merry Christmas!

Print posters

Chelsea Mulford 3 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 3 years ago 3

Our church likes to print and laminate the posters before each unit. Is there a way I can see the posters for a whole unit at one time before the unit is taught to print poster material?

Thank you

Answer

Hi Chelsea,

My mistake; please use the ABC Resources page as previously instructed. Just contact us here on UserEcho and we'll be happy to send you the codes as needed. You can make a public post or a private message; either way, we'll see it.

Thanks!

Arthur
