Add or Update Student Skills/Levels in Mass

Updating student skills/levels in mass requires a user permission found under the Gear (icon) > Settings > Users & Permissions. This user permission is in the Student section of permissions and is called Skills Mass Update.  

Classes (menu) > Skills > Mass Update offers four different options to add/update a group of students' skills:

  • Add a new skill to students working on a current skill.
  • Add a new skill to students without a current skill.
  • Complete a current skill (by entering the date attained on the current skill).
  • Promote to a new skill (by entering the date attained on the current skill and adding the new skill).

Note: This will only search for students with Current Skills without a Date Attained. Therefore, it won't find completed skills (skills with a date attained). Use Skills Search in the Student menu to find students with completed skills.

Groups of students can be defined by the following criteria:

  • Location
  • Current Skill/Level
  • Category 1 OR Class (choose one, not both)
  • Category 2 OR Class (choose one, not both)
