Frontline Campus User (Supervisors)
All District supervisors will receive both a “Campus User” and an "Employee User" account to access Frontline.
District supervisors are responsible for ensuring that supervisees submit their daily absence requests, annual vacation schedules, and non-workdays in Frontline. Also, to ensure that timekeepers are reconciling the absences, vacancies, and substitute time worked. Supervisors must approve absence requests promptly to guarantee appropriate payroll tracking and substitute coverage.
For further information on how to use Frontline Absence Management (Frontline), we encourage you to complete the Frontline Absence Management Campus User Interactive Training. Please note that training takes approximately 30 minutes. You may also refer to the resources listed below.

Frontline Campus User Notifications (Supervisors)
All District supervisors may receive Event Notification emails for one of the six following reasons:
- When an absence is created, cancelled, deleted, unfilled, filled, or reconciled
- When the absence reason, date, times, school, or type is modified
- When the absence notes to substitute, to administrator, or to administrator only are modified
- When a substitute is removed from the job
- When substitute report times are modified
- When the accounting, budget, or pay code is modified
All District supervisors have "approver" permission in Frontline. These type of users may also receive Event Notifications for one of the following reasons:
- Absence created or approved that needs approval at the next level (includes past absences).
- If the approver is the same for different levels, a new email is generated for approval at the next level.
All District supervisors may consider using Microsoft Outlook's rules to manage and organize Event Notifications emails coming into their email inbox.
