How to set up a homework type

This guide will explain how to set up a homework type.

When setting homework, your staff may find it useful if they can apply a category to the homework so that they can differentiate them in reports. Class Charts allows you do to this through Homework types.

To set up a homework type, click on the three lines menu in the top right hand corner of the page and select School Settings from the list of available options.
