  • Select each student you would like to assign a tag to, by clicking the teal checkbox next to their name

  • Click edit students at the top of the page

  • Click update students

Assign a custom tag while you are adding a new student:

  • Click Students from your left navigation menu

  • Click + Add student from the submenu

  • Enter the student's program, full name, email address, student type, year of study, graduation date and custom tag.
