Update Destiny patrons via the Patron Import process (requires CSV file)

Assign grade levels and homerooms in the CSV file.

Note: If the file contains a homeroom that does not exist in the Destiny site, the Patron Import process creates it and assigns it to the patron.

Update Destiny patrons manually

Add homerooms to your Destiny site using the following steps:

Go to Back Office > Manage Homerooms.
In the Add Homeroom field, type the name of the homeroom.
To assign a Supervisor, click Select.
Search for the patron to assign as Supervisor, and then click Select next to that person's name.
Repeat these steps for all homerooms you want to add

Once homerooms are added, you are ready to assign students and grade levels using one of the recommended methods:

From the Update Patrons page, update homerooms and grade levels based on a list of patrons or a barcode list or file.
From the Manage Patrons page, update patron records one-by-one.
