Note: Whilst the Tagging feature is viewable platform-wide, only School Admins and Leaders Of are able to create new tags.


How to use Tagging


Create a new tag

Navigate through class-view

  1. Open Live Tracking for a class and select Tools from the left menu.

  2. Tick Enable Tagging and then click Configure.

  3. Following this, click Create New Tag at the bottom of the pop-up menu.

Navigate from the home page

You can also access Tagging from the homepage:

  1. Hover over Tracking from the top bar, and select Tags from the dropdown.

  2. Click the blue button Add Tag.

You're then able to fill in the relevant details for your new tag, including:

  • Tag Name

  • Status (i.e. whether or not it is live)

  • Which users are able to mark students with this tag: All teachers, Leader of, Only Me

  • Which Year Group(s) the tag will be visible for.

  • Which Qualification(s) the tag will be visible for.

Note: Only School Admins can create a tag that is accessible on all trackers.


Make a tag visible on your tracker

To enable a tag on a tracker:

  1. Head back to Tools on the left side and select Configure below Tagging.

  2. Tick the box next to the relevant tag that you'd like to display.

  3. Click Save & Close.

  4. Return to the tracker and you'll see a new column to the right of the student list.

  5. Once you tick a student with this tag, a blue label will appear to the left of their name.


Filter by tag

You're able to see only tagged students using the Filter tool. To do this, open Filters from the left menu, select Filter by Tags, and select your tag as the value.

πŸ’‘ If your filter covers multiple or all subject areas, you'll only need to tag a student once and they will appear in the intervention group for all selected qualifications.

πŸ“– Team Tip

It's worth noting that tags are tracker-specific, rather than subject-specific, meaning that for an English tag, you'll need to include both Language and Literature as qualifications.
