Interactive demo of creating a new student from scratch
Watch the walkthrough below for a step-by-step look at creating a student in FlightLogger, from filling in their profile to assigning a training program and class:
Creating a student
To add a new student, go to Users > Students, then click Create and select Student.
Fill in the required fields: Email, Call sign, First name, and Last name.
You can also add:
- Public note, Admin note, or Instructor note — use these to record any relevant information about the student.
- Emergency contact — click Add emergency contact to enter a contact's name, email, phone, and address.
Assigning a training program
Select a program from the dropdown to enroll the student. This sets the student's account to Active. Click Add Programs if the student needs more than one.
Note: If your school uses the Student Progression Module, you can also set an Expected Start and Desired Completion date for each program.
Assigning a class
If the student belongs to an existing class, select it from the Class dropdown.
Setting user roles
By default, a new user created this way has the Student role. If the student also needs to be a renter, staff member, instructor, or administrator, select the relevant roles before saving.
For more on permissions, see Managing user roles.
When you're done, click Create Student to save.
