Set up Pulse term dates

You can add the start and end dates of each term or semester for the school year. You need to set up term dates when configuring Pulse for the school year and before setting Pulse to auto-pause during term breaks.

Before you begin

• You must be a Pulse Coordinator.
• You must have access to the Pulse Coordinator dashboard.

Set up your term dates

1. Sign in to your Pulse Coordinator dashboard.
2. Select Term Dates on the left navigation menu.
3. Select Change on the right-hand panel. The Change term dates pop-up will appear.
4. (Required) Enter a descriptive Term Name. For example, Term 1, SY 2026.
5. Select the calendar icon under Start Date to select the start date for the term.

6. Select the calendar icon under End date to select the end date for the term.

     Note

   The End date must be later than the Start date.

7. To add another term, select Add term and repeat Steps 4-6.
8. Select Save. Your term dates will appear in the Term Dates page. Select Term Dates on the left navigation menu.

Update your term dates

You can edit or delete your term dates.

• Edit a term: Select Change and enter a new term name, start date or end date.
• Delete a term: Select Delete (bin icon) next to the latest term, then select OK on the confirmation prompt.

What you can do next

Once you’ve set up your Term Dates, you can:

• Configure your Pulse launch and notification dates during onboarding.
• Manually change Pulse status to Active or Inactive at any time.
• Set Pulse to auto-pause during term breaks to prevent users from checking in or receiving notifications.
