School calendar

The school calendar allows for the configuration of term dates. This allows the system to complete the required automated tasks such as adding and removing user allowances. Additionally, the school calendar is critical while using pre-order, particularly Fusion Online, as the system needs to know which are valid service days otherwisde users would be able to place pre-orders for days where the school is not open (and vice versa).

!A school calendar must be configured for the Fusion system to function correctly, especially when using Fusion Online otherwise users could place pre-orders on days when the school is not open.

Term dates key

Once configured, the school calendar will be filled with different colours.
