Staff & Consultants
This tab is where you will find your staff/consultants that have been assigned to this profile. From this view, we can see the staff names, the centers and group they’re assigned to, and what type of staff member they are (consultant or regular staff).
For a complete list of staff, not just staff assigned to this profile, go to Other > Other Options > Listings > Staff.
To create a new staff member, click on the hamburger button, then select “New Staff Member.”

- Sort Code on KIOSK Login / Scheduler (A-Z)
- During visit login/logout or on the staff schedule, where a list of consultants are shown, the results will be sorted alphabetically by last name. You can enter text in this field to override this. For example, Hans Zimmer would typically be at the very end of the list, but if you enter "AAA" in this field, they would be displayed towards the very top instead. The opposite is also true, you can enter "ZZZ" for Dave Anderson to push him towards the bottom of the list.

- Inactive
- We don’t recommend deleting records in TracCloud, as this will also disconnect them from related records (Visits, Appointments, etc). Instead, we recommend deactivating the account by checking this box. This will hide them from view and prevent them from logging into TracCloud, but the record and related data remains available if needed, for historical reporting or later reactivation.

- If remote appointments are held via online conferencing platforms (Zoom, Webex, etc), each of your consultants can have a unique invite link defined in their profile. When a URL is placed here, and their availability is set the online meeting type, the URL entered in this field will appear in the available location choices.
- • Fund
- This is used as the consultant's assigned fund, if applicable. More information on funds and payroll features in general can be found here.
- • Pay Code
- This consultant’s pay code will determine their pay rate when running payroll reports. More information.
- • Max Hours
- Can be used to limit the number of hours this staff member can be booked in a certain range of days, even if they have open availabilities on their calendar. This requires setting up a corresponding max appointment rule, more information here.
- • Location

- • Do not show on schedule
- If checked, this consultant will not show up on the schedule.

- KIOSK
- If the “KIOSK” checkbox is selected, the account is heavily restricted and many fields are removed. Kiosk accounts can login and select a Kiosk to open, and nothing else. Normal staff members can open kiosks as well, but this can be useful if you need to create a generic account to share with other people to open kiosks in your center.
Most of the options here are self-explanatory, just basic contact information about this staff member, such as their email address, phone number, address, etc. The icon indicates whether or not they're opted into text alerts. Custom fields can also be created on this page as well.
This menu allows you to view and manage this consultant’s certifications (e.g., CLRA). New certifications can be created by selecting the hamburger icon > New Certification, which will take you to an empty form to fill out. More information on Work Plans can be found in its own article by clicking here.
This tab allows you to specify which reasons this consultant is assigned to. If a user searches for availabilities with a reason that the consultant isn't assigned to, they won't appear in the search results, similar to section specialties.
The staff timeline operates similarly to the student timeline, showing a history of their related records. Visits, appointments, tasks, document uploads, etc.
To view a list of all staff accounts in TracCloud across multiple profiles, go to Other > Listings Staff.
Staff records can be duplicated by clicking the button. This will copy group, user level, default center, linked centers, consultant status, course list (generic course lists only, per-consultant course lists will not be copied), reason specialties, and accommodations to a new staff record and prompt you to replace unique information such as name, address, etc.
Hamburger Menu
Every listing page in the Trac System features a hamburger menu with utilities to search for or interact with your list of records. Some of these options are specific to a certain listing/record-type, others are shared. The following list includes definitions for the hamburger menu options available on this listing, and how they can be utilized.
- List All
- This option will show all records on the current listing. Some listings have an additional toggle for only showing "Active" records, such as Students and Registrations, which will still override a "List All" search if checked.

Use Search Symbols to include ranges of data, and Save Searches for later use if needed. The search term 'blankornull' can be used to find all records with a value of nothing ("") or null ().
