CMS - Tags

Tags allow you to track the completion of processes such as student enrollments, staff hiring, or class creation.

First  you will setup what you want to track by naming the tags and then as you complete a step in your processes, you can mark it completed or checked off.

A search capability then allows you to view who or what has (or does not have) a specified tag.

Step 1: Tag Setup

Go to Admin>Settings>Tags

You can set tags for 4 different areas of the SIS.

  • CMS Classes
  • Parent Records
  • Staff Records
  • Student Records

A. Add a category to one of the areas by clicking the Add Group button


This gives you the ability to create a title and a description. Descriptions are not required.

Click CREATE.

Once your category is titled, you can add Tags to the category.

You can also delete the category or make it inactive by clicking on the Green Active Button.
