Departments, Activities and Teams

In Clipboard, we use the terms Departments, Activities, and Teams. But what do these signify?

Departments are the overarching categories that Activities fall under. Examples include Music, Co-Curricular, or Sport.

Activities are a category that falls within a Department. Examples include Orchestra, Dance, and Netball.

Teams are groups of students that generally attend sessions together. Examples include String Quartet, Ballet, or Senior B Team.

Note: You can categorise Teams on Clipboard! Learn more about this here.

These three categories help you to organise students and to define access for users. With our different user types, you can ensure that a user only has access to the students that they are responsible for.

Here is a Flow Chart that shows how these three Clipboard terms fit together:
