Mass Add Log Records

Updated on

The Mass Add Log Records screen is used to add log records for multiple students. Log records can be added by individual student or by group. The By Student tab allows users to quickly add log records to individual students. For example, the By Student tab is useful when logging student visits to the health clinic. The By Group tab allows users to search for a group of students (such as by grade, specific section, or a student field) and add log records en masse. Changes to individual student records can also be made in the By Group tab.

If specific Student Fields have been set as Require Approval for your profile via Users > Profiles > Permission Type: Student Fields, upon mass adding log records pertaining to those fields, a change request is submitted and must be approved via Students > Change Requests.
