Overview
When an allergy is added or updated during enrollment, it doesn't automatically include a severity level. Once the enrollment information has been approved, you can go into the student's card to mark how serious the allergy is — including flagging it as life-threatening.
This article and the video below walk practitioners through how to update an allergy's severity from a student's card.
Setting the severity
Approve the student's enrollment information (click Approve and Review Next if you haven't already).
Open the student's card.
Go to the Conditions section and click into Conditions.
Find the allergy you want to update (e.g., "Peanut and tree nut allergy") and click into it.
On the active allergy, click Edit.
Set the Severity field — for example, change it to Life-threatening.
Click Confirm.
💡 Tip: Once confirmed, the updated severity appears both on the student's card and on the roster page, so any staff member checking either view will see the current severity level right away.
