Within August, each role has a customizable set of tags that can be applied to students. The benefit to using tags is that they allow you to filter for students beyond their demographics (gender, grade level, etc.) and create groups.
Tag Visibility
Each role within August has their own set of tags, and the tags are not visible to those with a differing role. For example, if a Counselor in August creates and applies a tag to a student, Nurses with August access will not see the Counselor's tag, only their own.
All users within a particular role will have access to all tags within that category. A Learning Specialist tag created by one Learning Specialist is available to all others with that role in August. They are not specific to that user.
Watch the video below on how to create and apply tags to student records, and how to create groups from these tags.
