The Add Person tool allows the creation of new persons - staff members, students, parents/guardians, etc. - in Infinite Campus.
- When creating a new person as part of a census record, use the Census Wizard.
- When reviewing or modifying an existing person's information, use Demographics or Identities.
Add Person Tool Like students and parents/guardians, staff members are entered in Campus as a person record. That person record does not become a staff record until a District Employment record is created and they have a Staff ID number.
Staff members can be created by using the Add Person tool or by using the Staff Locator tool. The Staff Locator find sstaff members already entered into Campus throughout the state (in State Edition installations) or the district (in District Edition installations). With both tools, a search needs to be done before the user can create a new person or a new district staff member.
To eliminate the possibility of duplicate persons, this tool forces the user to search prior to adding new persons. The last name must be entered before the Search button becomes active.
