Hide a course or make a course inactive to hide from view

[aispaulmilton]

I have over 30 classes listed but I only use one. As a teacher, how can I hide the courses I don't use? As an administrator, how can I hide the inactive courses for my teachers? I am both a teacher and an administrator.

Hi @aispaulmilton 

The Teachers cant hide courses. Also please confirm that where are you trying to hide the course from? teacher portal or admin portal? To remove a course from teacher's view - admin can reassign the lead teacher for that section, for admin to make the course unavailable.

Please let us know if this helps or in case of any further queries.

I am trying to change the view of the "Current Classes page that the teachers view in their teacher portal.

Hi @aispaulmilton 

Currently, the only possible way is to reassign the lead teacher for that section. However, we recommend adding your request as an enhancement so that teachers can customize what sections they want to hide.

You can log this as an Enhancement Request on PowerSchool Ideas Portal so that the product team can take a look at this. This article should walk you through how to raise an Enhancement Request.

I changed the lead teacher but the teacher can still see the course in their list of classes in PTP. How else can we hide inactive classes from teachers?

Teachers will always see courses they were Lead Teachers of in PT Pro.

Depending on Data Reporting guidelines where you live, you could remove the teacher entirely from the section and give it to a dummy staff account.

Teachers can give the section a Custom Name in PT Pro that starts with a "z" and then use Display Settings to sort by Custom Name, which would force unused sections to the bottom of the list.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if there was another way.
