If you have previously created an account with pickAtime, you will not need to create a new account for new conferences. Once you log in to your account, you should create a new event on your account, for example, a "Parent Teacher Conferences 2026" event. Then you can delete the previous semester or previous year's event. By creating the new event prior to deleting the old event you will retain the settings (UI Setup / Notification Setup / CUI Messages) from your previous event.

Please do not simply rename your old event. Importing new class and enrollment data to an old event that has been renamed will add the new class and enrollment data to your previous year's class and enrollment data.

Deleting your old event will delete all class and enrollment data so do not delete your old event if you will be reusing your previous class and enrollment data. To reuse your previous class and enrollment data use the Duplicate PTA option on the Events page. 


Contact Information

The contact information from your previous parent-teacher conference is retained in the pickAtime system and is not removed when you delete an event. Contacts are the parents, students, and teachers. 

To remove all previous contact information, select the Global Setup / Contacts page, click on the Show advanced options... at the top of the page. You will see a button labeled "Remove all customers." Selecting this button will bring up a pull-down that will allow you to delete your contacts based on their access level. The five access levels are:

Customer Access Only - parents and students

Admin Level - Appointment Viewer - teachers

Admin Level - Appointment Maker - any administrators with Appointment Maker access

Admin Level - Resource Administrator - any administrators with access to only a select group of Resources (teachers)

Admin Level - Event Administrator - any administrators with access to an Event or Events

Deleting an access level will delete the level that is listed above it in the list as well. For example, if you select Admin Level - Resource Administrator as your level to delete, it will also delete those with Admin Level - Appointment Maker, Admin Level - Appointment Viewer and those with only Customer access (your parents). To remove your students select the "remove All students" option. 

Note that removing the contacts will not remove any contacts who have logged in during the previous two months or any contacts who have created an appointment in the last two months. It will not remove any students who have enrollment in any events on your account.
