Provisions Manager via the Manage console (/admin/areas).1. Authorising Owners & Viewers

2. Configuring Areas of Provision
In Manage > Areas (/admin/areas):
- Click New Area of Provision to create custom categories that reflect your school’s support architecture (e.g. Communication & Interaction, Cognition & Learning, Social, Emotional & Mental Health (SEMH), Sensory & Physical, EAL & Language Development, Pastoral & Attendance).

- Use table checkboxes and select Change Owners with Cascade to items enabled to quickly assign an Area Owner across all nested provision items simultaneously.
3. Populating Specific Provision Items

- Local managers cannot delete or alter synced descriptions, ensuring alignment across schools while allowing local pupil allocation and note recording.
Staff Workflow & Graduated Response Cycle
Once the provision catalogue is established, staff can deliver and record pupil support through an efficient four-step routine:1
