How do I assign educators to rooms?

You can assign educators to rooms in Mana depending on your role and team settings.

Managers can control whether educators can manage their own allocations directly by toggling Manage Room allocations centrally in team settings under Allocations & Access.

You can assign multiple key educators to a room. Mana automatically adds assigned educators and the centre’s Managers and Owners to that room’s enabled family updates. Internal staff room chats are separate. See who is automatically added to each chat.

Manager-Only Assignment

To restrict room management to managers:

  1. Go to Profile icon > Settings > Team > Management > Allocations & Access

  2. Turn on Manage Room allocations centrally

  3. Managers can now assign educators to each group by selecting Manage Room allocations and following the prompts to assign educators and teachers to relevant rooms

If Manage Room allocations centrally is turned on, only Managers have the ability to assign educators/teachers to Rooms. Educators/teachers will not be able to self-assign to a Room.

Self-Assign a Room/Group

If Manage Room allocations centrally is toggled off, educators can self-assign rooms:

  1. Open Program. Under Key rooms, select Choose key rooms.

  2. Select your rooms, then select Save.

To add or remove one room, open its three-dot menu and select Add to key rooms or Remove from key rooms. If your centre uses a different name for rooms, such as groups, Mana shows that name instead.
