When creating new staff in PowerSchool you are required to assign an ID number. The included replacement page will auto assign a number based ID. The page uses SQL to determine what the next valid id number should be.

TeacherID
Wait. Why bother? That PS teacher ID is required, but not required to be unique. The old functionality was that if a teacher was in two buildings, s/he had the same id, even though she had two logins. These days, with the state requiring teacher ID numbers, just put the state_teacher_number in that slot.

I agree that we should be
I agree that we should be using State # for staff (and students) but that is not always possible. With this custom it keeps from having duplicates, I was never one that used the same # for 2 accounts.

Jeff,
Jeff,
It is very ambigious as which file to install for auto assign teacher id. I never add this one as Personnel always did it manually. Right now, I will put this to action on my testing enviroment. We are using 7.9.1.2 now. there are two different folders to download (Auto Assign Teacher ID or Plug-in Auto Assign Teacher ID) which one will it be? Our teacher id will be after 813100. In the sql, where should I add '813100' into WHERE instr(translate(TeacherNumber,abcdef,'XXXXXXX'),'X') = 0]~(id)[/tlist_sql]; what will be add in 'abcd' or in 'xxxx' and 'x'. I am confused with it. Your guide will be helpful.

rbye,
rbye,
if you are using the old web-root you will use the Auto Assign Teacher ID
But if you are using CPM (Custom Page Management) you should use the Plug-in Auto Assign Teacher ID. This one is easy to install and easy to update, turn off and is how I am doing all my customization's now.
As far as the Teacher ID, it just finds the highest ID you currently have and adds +1 so if you want your id's to start with 813100 then what I would do is just add a staff member with that number then turn on this customization and the next teacher ID will be 813101
Hope this helps

before auto-assign teacher id used
Is there a way to have this go in an look for teacher IDs that do not follow the auto-generated ID pattern and assign an ID to them? Problem I have is that some of my PS_TeacherNumbers match a PS_StudentNumber in my Lunch POS the student record keeps getting over written by the teacher record and vise versa.

Plug-in Auto Assign Teacher ID
The AutoAssignTeacherID.pdf link seems to be missing.

Auto Assign
I've never installed a plug in. Will this work with version 20.11.0?
