Select Admin Access - Varies by your admin access level
Partner-Level Admins
When creating an opportunity, it becomes available for all WBL Administrators in Districts and Schools under that Partner. Those Admins will go to 'Opportunities' list and enable 'School Access' for the opportunity to let their Students see the opportunity.
District-Level Admins
School District Option: All WBL Administrators at every school in your district can see the opportunity, and students at all schools can see the opportunity.
Individual Schools Option: All WBL Administrators at the selected school(s) can see the opportunity, and students at the selected school(s) can see the opportunity. If a school is excluded from this selection, it can not be added to the list of available schools later.
Local-Level Admins
School District Option: All WBL Administrators at every school in your district can see the opportunity, but only students at the schools you have access to can see it. WBL Admins at other schools can see your opportunity and make it available to their students by enabling 'School Access' on their opportunities list.
Individual Schools Option: All WBL Administrators at the selected school(s) can see the opportunity, and students at the selected school(s) can see the opportunity. If a school is excluded from this selection, it can not be added to the list of available schools later.
Select School Access
Select all schools in the district needing the opportunity to be available for students to apply.
Note: If Individual Schools is selected above and a school is excluded from this selection, it can not be added to the list of available schools after it has been saved.
Select Create Opportunity, and you're done!
Note: If you want an opportunity to be visible to all WBL Admins, but don't want students at every school to be able to apply to it right away, choose 'School District' under 'Admin Access', then only select schools under 'School Access' where students should see the opportunity. It will allow those students to apply for the opportunity, but won't allow students at other schools to apply.
This way, a WBL Admin at another school can enable 'School Access' later on in their 'Opportunities List' if they want their students to see the opportunity.
