Arc Pathway’s approval system helps you ensure that content shared with parents meets your school’s standards. Here’s how it works for you as a Manager.
🔐 Who Needs Approvals?
- Some teachers may be set to require approval before their items appear in the Learning Journal.
- Manager accounts never require approval.
- Approvals are configured during onboarding, either:
- Individually per teacher
- Or applied to all non-manager staff
📥 Receiving and Managing Approvals
- You’ll receive a notification when one of your teachers submits something for approval.
- Click the notification, or go to Menu > Approvals.
- On the Approvals page, you can:
- View a list of all pending approvals
- Approve All or Reject All
- Click View to see an individual submission in more detail
- When viewing an item:
- You can edit the observation before it goes to the Learning Journal.
- You can either Approve or Reject the submission.
🍼 Care Diary Approvals
- Care Diary entries can be excluded from approvals by default.
- To require approval for them:
- Go to the Admin Dashboard > Care Diary tab
- Tick “Enable Care Diary Manager Approvals”
- Once enabled, Care Diary entries submitted by teachers who require approval will also need to be approved.
❌ Rejecting Submissions
- You may reject a submission with a reason.
- The teacher will get a notification with your reason and the ability to revise and Re-export it.
- Teachers can track their rejected submissions from Menu > My Approvals.
⚠️ Notes
- Approvals are currently only available on the web platform.
- Teachers can only have one assigned manager, which is set via the Admin Dashboard > Teachers tab.
