Users within ClickView are created in two ways through the School Management option. This is only available to ClickView Administrators.
- Customers who choose Single Sign On as their preferred login method, will see user accounts for both staff and students are created automatically upon the first login to ClickView. This means that manual creation and management of users within ClickView, is not required. Users are managed within your schools active directory.
- Customers who choose to not use Single Sign On or want to add an ad-hoc user account, ClickView has an inbuilt User Manager where you can create, update, deactivate or delete users, either singularly or in bulk.
If you’re unsure whether your school uses Single Sign On, please click here.
Accessing Student or Staff Manager
As an Administrator, log into ClickView Online using your normal user account. From the landing page, select your name in the top right corner of the screen and select "Settings".
If you do not see this setting, please contact ClickView Customer support for further assistance.

Student-set password accounts (Populated Email column): Students will receive an account activation email at the specified email address. They can activate their account by clicking the "Activate my account" button within the email. During activation, they will be prompted to set their own password, allowing them to personalise their account security. They'll be able to sign in with either their email address or username.
-
Teacher-set password accounts (Empty Email column): If you prefer to pre-set passwords for students, you can leave the email column empty. In this case, students will not receive an account activation email. Instead, they can sign in using the password you have set for them. However, it is necessary to manually provide students with their username and password.

Depending on whether you want to disable/delete a student or a member of staff, select either 'Student manager' or 'Staff manager' from the User Management options.
Identify the student or staff member that you wish to deactivate, click on the three dots to the right hand side of the screen, and select 'Deactivate account' from the popup menu. (In this example, we're deactivating a student):
A popup confirmation box will appear, if you're sure, click 'Deactivate account':
**Deactivated accounts will still show in ClickView, but users will not be able to access the system**
Deactivated accounts are easily identified in the list of users due to the word 'Deactivated' appearing in a red box:
To delete the user, select the three dots to the right hand side of the screen, and select 'Delete'. Deleting the account will remove the user completely from ClickView:
**Please note, only deactivated users can be deleted**
The Bulk Actions feature provides you the ability to perform updates for multiple student or staff accounts at once. This makes the process more efficient and easier, therefore saving you a lot time.
These are the following actions that the bulk actions feature can achieve:
- Change Year Group
- Reset Password
- Deactivate/Reactivate Accounts
- Delete - Accounts will need to be deactivated first before they can be deleted.
- Add to classroom
- Annual year group rollover - This action can only be performed once a year. If it is greyed out, this means it has already been used for this year.
- Send Password reset email
Prior to performing a bulk action, you'll need to select the user accounts to perform the bulk action on. Selecting multiple records can be done manually by simply ticking the box at the left-hand side of the screen, for your list of users.
Alternatively, you can select multiple users via csv, which is a quick way to select school leavers (regardless of year), and bulk deactivate, then delete.
In the user management screen, click on the three dots adjacent to the search box:
Download the template or construct a .csv in the same format. You could use an export from your Active directory to populate the email address and/or username. With the csv populated, click on the 'Upload .csv file' button.
With multiple users selected, you can click on the 'Selecting a bulk action' button:
You will then be taken to a simple step-by-step process to assist you perform your desired bulk action. Once you're satisfied with the selected user accounts, click 'Next' on the top right, then you will be then taken to step 2 where you will choose which bulk action you would like to perform.
The bulk actions available will determine whether you are making changes on staff accounts or student accounts:
