Go-live checklist

Who this is for: Admin, Tenant owner, Duty lead
What you'll achieve: Generate a sample week, review gaps, publish, and mark the school live

Before you begin

Complete Initial setup steps 1–5:

• Branding saved
• Zones and Mon–Fri windows saved
• Staff imported and template leads assigned
• Grade priorities reviewed
• Notification rules checked

Steps

1. Open Setup and scroll to 7. Go-live checklist.
2. Generate a sample Mon–Fri week from your template (runs the cover engine).
3. Review gaps and last-resort placements on each day.
4. Fix issues by adjusting template assignments, duty tiers, or headcounts — then regenerate if needed.
5. Publish the week (locks days and notifies per rules).
6. Select Mark live so setup state becomes live.

You can also run the same generate → review → publish flow from Today using Build Mon–Fri and Publish week.
