How to Handle Substitute Teachers in Minga

This article will discuss how to manage substitute teachers in your school's Minga.

Adding substitutes in Minga allows your school to continue to have consistency and clarity even when a teacher is out for the day. 

First Option for Managing Subs 

If they are a reoccurring sub, add them into Minga: 

Step by Step:

1. Navigate to the Manage People tab in People Manager
2. Click "Add Person"
3. Input name and email 
4. Toggle OFF 'Include user in SIS sync' so that they do not get archived by your automatic rostering
   
5. Click Save 

The substitute will sign into Minga using Single Sign on at app.minga.io

Second Option - Create Generic Sub Accounts

Create multiple sub accounts for the substitute(s) to sign in to for that day. 

Step by Step:

1. Navigate to the Manage People tab in People Manager
2. Click "Add Person"
3. Input name (A generic name such as Substitute One)
4. Input email (A generic email such as office+subone@minga.io) 
5. Select "Staff" for the role so they are not archived by Minga if Automatic Rostering is set up for your school 
6. Click Save 

The substitute will sign into Minga using "Login with username and password" at app.minga.io

Print Off Login Information 

Next - Print off that login information into laminated cards to hand to the sub. 

For Example
