There are two ways to remove a class from a cohort. Deleting and changing its dates to the past. Which option you take depends on whether students have ever been added to the class and the cohort's date range. Once a class has had students added to it, it cannot be deleted. However, it can be put into the past so that it is no longer an active class for both you and your students, provided the cohort start and end dates allow.
Note: This can only be done by users with Administrator roles or who are added to the cohort as Cohort Administrators.
B. Putting a Class in the Past
A. Deleting a Class
Note: For deletion to be an option, no students can have been added to a class. Removing the students from the class will not allow the class to be deleted. If students were ever added, the only option is to move the class to the past. See below.
1. Begin by editing the cohort. You can do this through the admin role or from the dashboard by clicking Manage Chorts.
-
Dashboard: On the main my.platinumed dashboard, click Manage Cohorts on the grey and black active cohorts tile on the left, then click edit for the desired cohort.
2. Click the Platinum Planner, EMSTesting, or Platinum Tests tab.
3. Click the Classes tab.
4. Click delete for the desired class.
Note: If delete is not an option, you must use the directions below.
B. Putting a Class in the Past:
This is done to close the class. This prevents the class from appearing in the drop-down when adding tests to classes or creating new opportunities. It will not appear as a current class for students and instructors.
1. Edit your cohort. Click the Manage Cohorts drop-down from the main dashboard and then edit in the Actions column beside the cohort that contains the class. (See step 1 above for directions through the admin role)
2. Select which platform. Select either the EMSTesting, Platinum Tests, or Platinum Planner tab to access the classes for each program.
3. Click the Classes tab.
4. Select edit for the class you want to remove from view.
5. Change the Class Ends field to move the class into the past.
Note: The class start and end dates must still fit within your cohort's start and end dates. These dates can be found on the cohort settings page from the previous steps.
