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.

Where is the zip file?
I need to update the Auto Assign Teacher ID. We are using CPM and I do not have the zip file. I see the PDF but I am not finding the zip file for Auto Assign Teacher ID.

Teacher number
My first number for new teachers is 10000000. Is there any way to change the original to a more manageable number and where do I make the change in powerschool?

Re: 10000000
The page pulls the next number in line. So you have a Teacher with a Teacher Number of 10000000-1.

Update for 7.8?
With the changes to how teacher accounts are handled it appears that this page has been changed. Do you have an updated copy of this page for 7.8?

String Key Not Found!
I have this in the line that on the page that should allow you to determine the type of staff member you are adding. Any thoughts? Its not a deal breaker, just something I would like to clean up.

Jeff,
Jeff,
I opened v_3.1.zip and followed the instruction and add new.html into custom folder under admin/faculty on my testing server. I don't think that I was suppose to add anything into new.html.
I turned off customization and click on new staff and add new id 813100 then save. I turned the customization on and ran New staff again, it is still showing blank on id box... should show automatically with 813101. I don't think that I am missing anything. Let me know what area I should look for.

Broken in PowerSchool 8
Hi all.
This plugin doesn't seem to be working for me when upgrading to the latest version of PowerSchool. As of this writing, the latest version of PowerSchool is 8.0.1.

re: Broken in PowerSchool 8
While I can't comment on if it works in 8 as I haven't tried it, I can say that it's not a plugin. So if you are trying to install it as one that might be the problem right there. All the customizations that have been upgraded to be plugins will have say so. If you look where it lists if it works in PS 6 and PS 7 there will be a "Plugin: Y" if it's already a plugin.
Alternately you can search for Plugin from the search bar and it'll bring up only the plugins as we've got them tagged as plugins for easier searching. There is a plugin version of this customization.
If that's not what you meant I apologize.

Auto Assign Teacher Id
Do this still works?
Will this look at all schools at one time and assign an ID or will each
school have a separate assigning system?
