Assign Seats in the Seating Chart Seating Chart If you choose a cycle day/period that is not today’s date you will need to enter a date in the Attendance Date field and select a Period. You will see the following, except you will see actual pictures of the students if you have uploaded the students’ pictures. If you would like to assign students to specific desks, drag and drop the students onto the appropriate desks. You can also click on “Assign Students Randomly to Desks” to let the system assign seats. You can move students around from one desk to another or drop them back into the bottom of the screen. You can also assign some students to specific desks, then the remaining students you can assign at random desks by selecting the “Assign Students Randomly to Desks” tab. If you want to start over, click on “Remove All Students from Desks”. There is no Save button; the system automatically saves as you assign students to desks.
