Just to note, whilst the Tagging feature is viewable platform-wide, only School Admins and Leaders Of are able to create new tags. User Permission Levels can be easily amended by a School Admin.
How can I tag specific students?
⚠️ Please note: The video below is currently outdated due to recent updates to the platform, so please refer to the written steps below in the meantime.
How can I create a New Tag?
Class-View:
Head to your tracker and on the left hand menu, select Tools, and then tick 'Enable Tagging'
You are then able to click Configure
Following this, click the Create New Tag button that will be showing on screen (click GIF to expand below⬇).
Home Page-View:
You can access the same menu by hovering over Tracking from the home page and clicking Tags, before clicking the blue Add Tag button.
What Tag Values should I select?
You're able to fill in all of the relevant details for your new tag including;
Tag Name
Activity 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)
Whether you want the tag to be present on a specific year group/s or qualification (only School Admins can create a tag that is accessible on all trackers).
After making your selections, simply click Save & Close (pictured below).
How do I make a Tag visible on my Tracker?
Once your tag has been created, reload your Tracker and click Configure
Tick the box to show the tag you've just created, and then save.
On your Tracker, tick the boxes to the right of your students' names, and you'll notice that a '1' will appear once the tag has been saved (pictured below).
How do I filter by Tag?
Filter by these tags using the Filter option on the left hand side in order to show only the students in your intervention group on your tracker.
If your filter covers multiple or all subject areas, you only need to tag them once and they will appear in the intervention group for all selected qualifications.
For more info on how to use the Filter tool, take a look at the article below:
📖 Pupil Progress Tip
It's worth noting that tags are tracker, rather than subject-specific, meaning that for an English tag you'll need to include both Language and Literature.
