Public Users Database (Facility Users in Calendar4Schools) – 4Schools Help Center

The Public Users database is designed for users that will make Facility Use Requests via your website. Facility requests made using the Facility Request (Calendar4Schools) tool will go through the approval routing process.

Note: Facility use events added directly into Calendar4Schools, is controlled by the user's permissions, and those events do not go through the approval process.

The Public Users Database will have users that are staff members who do not have permissions to add events directly to Calendar4Schools and public visitors/users who will need to request use of your facilities. Go to the help documentation for Facility Request (Calendar4Schools) tool for more information about facility user requests.

Import Users

Follow the steps listed to create an import file for users you would like to add to the database.
Note: A template text file is attached to this article that you can download and open with Excel or another spreadsheet software to add your user information to the template.
Choose the file to import.
Select if you would like to email users their password.

Select Import to complete the user import.

Note: If you are updating users already in your Users Database, consider doing an export in the Users Database and deleting the unneeded columns to create your import file for this Public Users database. You can then easily keep the user name and password the same as logging into 4Schools.

Export Users

Exporting users is a handy way to see every user name and password at the same time, or as the basis for a new import file. The resulting spreadsheet also makes a good database to use with a mail merge.

The export file is a .txt tab delimited file. You can right click and "Open with" Excel to view and edit the file in excel.
