Whenever you create an organization on Greek Chapter, a term is automatically created for you and set as active for your organization. The term that is automatically created matches the current point in a school year.
What are terms
Terms are a super easy way to keep data organized within your organization. Terms represent the following time periods in a school year:
Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall
Towards the end of each term, a new one will automatically be created for your organization to use whenever it is best fitted for you. Greek Chapter does not automatically switch terms/set new ones as active as every school and organization is different.
Using terms
You're able to view terms in the past, but you should only set the active term of your organization when you're actually in that term. By setting the active term, resources that are tied to terms (such as points) will be properly added to the correct time period.
By default terms do not have a start and end date. You should switch to the next term whenever it is best fit for your organization.
To set the current term:
💡 You must have the Owner or Admin role to edit the active term
Navigate to the Settings page for your organization in the web app
Click on the Current Term dropdown and select the new term
Click the Save button to save your changes
