Overview
This guide explains how to use Tags in SEAtS to group students with a common attribute. Tags can be used to mark students with a personal tutor's name, wellbeing indicators, background information, or any other grouping. Tags can be applied manually or in bulk via import. Sensitive tag types can be restricted to specific staff groups.
Tag Permissions
The ability to add, remove, and view Tags is determined in Tag Management by the Visible to and Taggable by permissions set at Access Profile level.
How to Apply a Tag
Via the Home Dashboard: Search for the student(s), tick the checkbox next to their record, click the Add Student Tag icon, search for the Tag, click on it, and click Save. Via the Student Profile: Open the Student Profile, find the Tags box, type the name of the Tag, and click on it to add.
How to View Tags
Tags appear in the Student Profile and in the Home Dashboard (add the Tags column via Column Configuration). Note: Tags will only be visible to users based on their Visible by configuration.
How to Filter on Tags
In the Student Dashboard, click Filters, find the Tags field under Student Info, type the Tag name, select it, and click Apply Filters. Multiple Tags can be combined to return results matching more than one Tag type. In Reports: Add Tags as a metric within the reporting suite. Select the report, add Tags in the Tags field, and click Create Report. Save the filter for future use using Save Filter.
