SIS 2000+ Locker Editor

The Locker Editor program defines school locker attributes such as Locker ID#, Lock ID#, locker type, locker location, maximum occupants, possible locker combinations, service status, etc. A separate application, Student Lockers, then assigns the lockers to individual students. Lockers must be defined in the Locker Editor before they can be assigned to students.

Prerequisites:
Locker type descriptions and codes must be pre-defined in the Locker Type Codes table via the Table Editor. This is normally done during the configuration and installation of SIS 2000+. If the codes are not yet defined, go to the Table Editor.

1. Open the Locker Editor
Go to the Enrollment Menu from the SIS 2000+ Main Menu. Click on the Locker Editor icon button. The opening screen (Fig. 1) displays the first locker in the database, sorted in ascending alphanumeric order by Type code/ Locker ID#.

2. Find a Locker

This error message (Fig. 5) will occur if the locker being deleted is assigned to a student or students via the Student Locker application. For the sake of database integrity, the deletion procedure cannot be carried out on lockers that have students assigned to them. Click "OK" to close the error message and return to the main screen.
