Flags provide a way to group your students across the district. The definitions for each flag can be decided upon by your team, and they can be set on this page. When a flag is assigned to a student, it can be viewed by all users of the Pathways system. This is different than the Caseload groups that can be created by each individual user and are only usable by that user. Once the flags have been defined, the definitions can be seen throughout Pathway when hovering over any of the flags on the Dashboard, in Reports, and on any student”s Pathways Worksheet.
Assigning a flag to a student
Assigning a flag to a student is a simple process. Click on the word “Flag” at the top of the student worksheet next to the student’s name.
In the window that appears, click the flag or flags that should be assigned to the student. Once assigned, flags will appear on the Dashboard, in Reports, and at the top of the student”s Pathways Worksheet.
Assign a flag to a group of students
Not only can you assign a flag to a single student, but you can assign a flag to a group of students easily as well.
Go to Utilities>Import Data>Import Flag Designations.
Select the flag you would like to assign to the group of students.
Copy/Paste the students' STNs into the text box at the bottom of the page.
Click “Load Flag Designations”.
Every student in the list will now have that flag assigned to their account. You can do this again to add more flags to groups of students. NOTE: You CANNOT remove flags en masse like this. Once a flag has been assigned, it must be removed individually from the student’s Pathways Worksheet page.
