Class Management

Creating a Class

Classes are the core organizational unit in BeamEdUp. A class represents a group of students studying together under a defined grade, section, and academic year. Classes hold enrolled students, assigned subjects and teachers, timetables, and exams.

Two Ways to Create

You can create a class using the quick form (Classes → Create) for basic setup, or use the 4-step wizard (Classes → Wizard → Create) for a guided experience that includes subject assignment, timetable, and student enrollment in one flow.

Class Types

BeamEdUp supports different class types to accommodate various institution models:

Standard — Traditional school grade + section (e.g., Grade 10-A)
Batch — Coaching center batches (e.g., JEE Morning Batch)
Course — Online courses with defined content
Program — Corporate training programs
Department — University department-level grouping
Custom — Any other grouping your institution requires

Step-by-Step Guide

Navigate to Classes

From the Organization Portal sidebar, click "Classes" to open the class management page.

Click "Create Class"

Click the "Create Class" button in the top-right corner. You can also use the class creation wizard at Classes → Wizard → Create for a guided experience.

Fill in Basic Information

Enter the class name, grade, section, academic year, and maximum capacity. The class name should be descriptive enough to identify the class at a glance — for example, "Grade 10 - Section A" rather than just "10A".

Assign Subjects & Teachers (Wizard)

If using the wizard, the next step lets you add subjects and assign teachers. You need at least one subject. You can optionally assign a class teacher.

Configure Timetable (Wizard)

Set working days, periods per day, and assign subjects to each slot. This step is optional and can be done later.

Enroll Students (Wizard)

Select students to enroll in the class. You can search by name or email and add multiple students at once.

Review & Save

Review all the details and click "Create Class" to finalize. The class will appear in your class list with an "Active" status.

Form Fields Reference

The basic information form (Step 1 of the wizard or the quick create form) includes the following fields:

Field	Required	Type	Description
Class Name	Required	text	Display name for the class (min 3 characters). Example: "Grade 10 - Section A" or "JEE Batch 2025".
Grade	Required	text	Grade or level identifier. Example: "10", "12", "A". Used to group classes by academic level.
Section	Required	text	Section identifier within the grade. Example: "A", "B", "C". Helps distinguish parallel classes.
Academic Year	Required	text	Academic session for the class. Format: "2024-2025". Determines the active period of the class.
Branch	Optional	select	Assign the class to a specific branch. If your organization has only one branch, this is pre-selected.
Max Capacity	Required	number	Maximum number of students that can be enrolled (1–100). Enrollment is blocked once this limit is reached.
Description	Optional	textarea	Optional notes about the class, such as the curriculum focus or special instructions.

Class Status

Every class has a status that controls its visibility and behavior:

active — Class is currently in session and students can access exams
inactive — Class is paused; no new enrollments or exams
archived — Class is preserved for records but hidden from active views
completed — Academic term has ended for this class

Quick Create vs. Wizard

Use the quick create form when you just need to set up a class shell and configure details later. Use the wizard when you want to assign subjects, set up the timetable, and enroll students all in one go.
