Individually lock student course requests?

[ewparker1]

We are looking for a way that school counselors can lock an individual student course requests once they have met with the student/family, during the school's open course request window, without it impacting the ability of other students/parents to make or change requests during this window. This would significantly improve our ability to provide one-on-one academic and career planning to students/families earlier and throughout the open window. Is there a way that a school counselor can lock a student's course request individually so that this student/parent are in "view" status only while everyone else at the school is able to make edits? Thank you!

How are students currently inputing their course requests? Each school handles this a bit differently and if you let us know how you do it we may be able to offer better advice.

@ewparker1   If the student/parent are entering the course request via the student/parent portal, then after the requests are entered, the counselor or whoever can go under the student's Scheduling Setup and uncheck the box to "Allow student to submit request". This only makes this student not able to make changes.

Which version of PowerSchool is this option on?  It does not display on our version of 20.11

Hey @HeatherWeist I'm not seeing it as an option for me either and I'm running 22.12

@ItsOnlyDoug & @wjackson That is very weird. Okay....know I see that this piece of code is a customization of the schedulesetup.html 

 <!-- Start of customization to allow students to submit requests 1 time -->

  <tr class="~[evenoddrow]">

<td class="bold">Allow student to submit requests</td>

<td><input type="checkbox" name="[Students]Sched_AllowRequests" value="1"></td>

  </tr>

  <!-- End of customization to allow students to submit requests 1 time -->

However, if you don't want to customize the page, you can still use student field value for Sched_AllowRequests and set value to 1 = Yes or 0 = No.

Let me know if. you have additional questions.
