Assigning heart rate sensors

Heart rate sensors can be assigned when the course is created or afterwards. An ongoing or future heart rate course can be edited at any time.

1. Go to Courses.
2. Find the course on the Ongoing courses list, or use the search.
3. Click the row or the icon to open the course.
4. Click Edit course.
5. Click Assign sensors.
6. The system assigns a sensor for each student automatically. The number of the assigned sensor is shown for each student. You can use the drop-down list to reassign the heart rate sensors manually.
   
7. Click Save to accept the reservations. The software redirects you back to the course information page.

If a student has purchased their own heart rate sensor to use instead of a school sensor, you need to register the sensor ID to the system. If a student has a personal heart rate sensor in use, the system does not assign a school sensor for that particular student.

Within a course, one sensor can be assigned to one student at a time. Within a school, one sensor can be assigned to several students at a time provided that they are not participating in the same course. Individual students can take several heart rate courses simultaneously, and have several heart rate sensors assigned to them.

If a sensor is lost or broken, a teacher can assign a new sensor to a student in the Polar GoFit app right before the PE lesson.
