Adding custom tags to people, tasks, courses, and class activations lets you pass additional information to other apps when integrating with iQualify using the API or the Event hub.

Benefits of adding custom tags

The additional information within a tag can enable you to:

  • Better integrate with other systems by providing mapping information such as student ID, course code, product ID. For instance adding a course code tag to let you map the iQualify course to your Student Management System and/or course catalogue.

  • Create groups of people with a given tag (for example, groups of learners tagged by demographics, locality, or priority for additional support) and send a message to that group or build and download reports.

  • Filter, find, or group events to gain more insights from events. For instance, you could group pages with the tag "Discussions" and pages with the tag "Video" to see which page types typically get more views.

  • Filter courses or classes based on study program, home campus, school, or any other criteria important to your organisation.

  • Support your organisation’s decision-making by enabling it to address a wider range of questions about your learners and courses.

How to add custom tags

Once you know the information you want to include, you can include this information in several ways.

How to add tags as an author

Authors can set goals/outcomes for a course and can also tag various levels of course content, including:

  • The course as a whole

  • Individual pages

  • Individual tasks or quizzes

Learn more: Check out Adding goals and custom tags to a course as an author for full instructions.

How to add tags to class activations

Manage users can add tags to class activations when editing a class activation.

How to add tags as an integration engineer

Integration engineers can add or update tags for:

  • A course using the Update course tags API

  • A class activation using the Update offering tags metadata API

Learn more: The process for updating via the API is similar to the one for updating user tags, described in Adding tags to users using Zapier.
