==== In addition I have attached a sheet of current Pennsylvania clients (we saw a few examples in your region this morning.) Keep in mind that some of these PA clients have older legacy template designs because that is what they want to stay with. I give that disclaimer so you or your team don’t get turned off by those template designs as they are dated. Lastly I reference a product we have called Journie in your questions document pertaining to your question on R&D. This service is additional and not E-rate eligible at this time but I wanted you and your team to have it since I reference it in that document. ====

Can times in the calendar be shown as Period 1, Period 2 – instead of times?
In addition, we have no way to show calendar times as Period 1, 2, 3, etc.

Can our calendar in the facilities area/registration be integrated with your School Dude solution?
According to our programmers, we cannot at this time interface with the School Dude calendar per George’s question. I couldn’t find any reference on the net regarding anyone who has successfully done this. In some instances it may require a conversation/partnership with School Dude. ==== I looked back into the image area of my demo site per Lisa’s question regarding watermarking an image and do not see that capability. You do have the ability to make the image darker or more faint. Also you can take any image and give it a “negative look,” Emboss – raise image,” Charcoal,” and “Blur.” ====

**2:30-3:30 SchoolWires: Doug Long (on site)** Doug's follow-up email with answers:

1. Do the pages have an automatic expiration date? If they are up without updates for years, will they automatically expire??
No. You can pull a last modified report to see old content. Your staff could expire the pages on their own as I demonstrated yesterday. ====2. Will the system automatically generate a “site map”? i.e. if a user has questions regarding navigability will a map be generated or does the district have to build it manually?? ====

Yes – it will include a Site Map that is automatically generated
====3. Can the calendar be customized by period? They would like to use the registration feature to potentially reserve rooms, like a computer lab, by period not times. ==== ==== Our calendar does not currently do this, but I have passed this on to our product development team and they thought it was a great feature request they have added it to the enhancement list for future updates. ====

4. Can you describe the process if they add a new user in their SIS, will the LDAP create a new user in C2, what’s the process??
==== LDAP provides user authentication to an Active Directory, e-Directory or Open LDAP server. On the initial setup and perhaps each year they should do an import to populate the system. Ongoing, if they add a new user to their directory that user won't be auto created based on the user being added to the directory, but rather - at the users first login their account would be created. With LDAP we can assign groups in centricity based on their groups in the directory to automatically control access, viewing and editing privileges. ====
