Setting up Student Cafe Video

This video provides a complete walkthrough of setting up Student Cafe, guiding administrators through licensing, permissions, calendar configuration and access options to prepare the student portal for use. It begins by demonstrating how to allocate Student Cafe licences to individual students or in bulk using TASS.web, including how to identify unused licences and safely manage record locking during bulk updates. The video then explains how to assign portal permissions by year group or individual student, allowing schools to control access to specific features. It moves on to configuring the Student Cafe eDiary, showing how calendar parameters and feeds are managed through Staff Kiosk to bring together curricular activities, timetables, events and personal entries. Finally, it outlines student login options such as LDAP and single sign‑on, and highlights how visual customisation can be applied to align Student Cafe with the school’s branding.

This video refers to the ‘LMS’ menu, which has since been renamed ‘Assessment.’
