Main Actions
Create a New Template
Click the Πρόσθεσε Μάθημα button ("Add a course") in the header and choose one of:
- Από Βιβλιοθήκη ("From the library", recommended): ready-made templates that you add to your school.
- Δημιουργία προσαρμοσμένου ("Create custom"): opens the form where you build a course from scratch.
These header labels are shown in Greek in the English interface. The form asks for:
- Course Name: The official title (e.g., Physics for High School Juniors).
- Subject: The subject area (e.g., Physics).
- Description: A short outline of the syllabus or level.
- Education Category: Select from the categories your institution supports.
- Education Level: The choices depend on the category. In Greek Curriculum: Α'–ΣΤ' Δημοτικού (primary school), Α'–Γ' Γυμνασίου (junior high), Α'–Γ' Λυκείου (senior high) and Α', Β', Γ', Δ' ΕΠΑΛ (vocational high school). In Foreign Languages: A1–C2.
- Certification Target, Age Range and Duration (weeks) (optional).
- Active: Whether the course is available for new groups.
- Recommended grading scheme (optional): the suggested scale and grading columns for new groups of the course.
Course Name, Subject, Education Category and Education Level are required.
Use clear and descriptive naming conventions for templates. This helps you identify courses easily when creating class groups.
Course Cards
Each card shows the course title, its category in the category color, the grade and the status (Active or Inactive). Click the card to open the course page. The card has:
- Use: Opens the new group wizard with the course already selected (not available for inactive courses).
- ⋯ menu: View (opens the course page) and Delete Course (not for system courses).
In the library, when there are courses with an orientation, the grouping control has the values Ανά κατεύθυνση (a course appears under every orientation you set) and Ανά τάξη (by grade). The grouping control is shown in Greek.
If you attempt to delete a course template that still has active teaching groups, the system will block the action to prevent losing student data. You must archive or delete the corresponding groups first.
Course Page
At the top of a course's page you find these buttons:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Δημιουργία τμημάτων ("Create groups") | Opens bulk group creation for this course. Shown only on active courses. The label is shown in Greek in the English interface |
| New exam | Creates an exam for the course's groups. The event form opens with all of the course's groups selected; see the Calendar |
| Edit | Change the course details. Save with Save Changes, discard with Cancel |
| ⋯ menu | Delete Course (not for system courses) |
In Edit you also set:
- Orientation (Greek curriculum, Β' Λυκείου or Γ' Λυκείου): one or more orientations. A course with none is shown as No orientation.
- Προετοιμασία Εξετάσεων ("Exam Preparation", shown in Greek): when the course is exam preparation.
If you change orientation or exam preparation and the course has linked groups, the system asks Update linked courses and how many will be affected. Yes, update applies the change to those groups too; No keeps the change on the course only.
