Student Groups

Updated on

The Student Groups screen allows users to create student groups, which can be used for searching and viewing student records. For example, users can create a student group for students on the girls’ basketball team. This group can be assigned to the girls’ basketball coach so the coach can quickly and easily search for and view the records for those students. In addition, users can place limitations on the coach allowing him/her to view the records for the students in the girls’ basketball group but not edit. Similarly, groups can be set up and assigned to guidance counselors, discipline deans, and other users who need to view a specific group of students. Student groups can be created based on customized student searches or dynamic saved searches. Dynamic groups can be created using grade levels, using alpha by last name, or using saved student searches. Note: Custom student groups are not dynamic.

The ability to view and/or edit Student Groups is defined by the profile permission, Student Groups via Users > Profiles > Students tab. The Student Groups profile permission  allows the user to create and edit his/her own student groups. The ability to assign groups to other users is defined by the profile permission, Assign Groups to Other Users.
