Once configured, Clipboard data can appear across multiple areas in Schoolbox.

What users see depends on which Clipboard integrations and calendar feeds your school has configured.

You can also include Parents of students to extend the audience.

Use Group Membership Integration

Important Behaviour to Understand

Are you sure you want to remove this component?

Clipboard is the source of truth for this data.

  • updates in Clipboard will overwrite data in Schoolbox.
  • data is synced on a schedule, not instantly.
  • existing data may remain even if it is no longer active in Clipboard.

If something looks incorrect, check the data in Clipboard first.
