STR - Note Cat. Tab (SU)

This is a multi-purpose program that allows you to set up the categories used to:

  • Create standard student notes.

  • Create confidential student notes.

  • Display student communications in the Communication Log.

For example, recording a conversation with a student or a phone call with a parent.

Click here for more information on the Communication Log.

The following student based communications are recorded in a Communication Log:

  • SMS generated in TASS.web and Staff Kiosk.

  • SMTP Emails generated in Staff Kiosk and the Enrolments module in TASS.web.

  • Notifications generated in Staff Kiosk.

  • Notes entered in TASS.web and Staff Kiosk (where the Note Category has been flagged for display in the Communication Log.

Internal teacher/non-teacher communications generated in Staff Kiosk are also recorded in a Communication Log.

The Communication Log allows you to track and monitor the details of communications including who it has been sent to and whether the communication has been viewed by the recipients.

The Communication Log for a student can be viewed using Staff Kiosk Student Profile > Communication Log.

The Communication Log for an enrolled student can be viewed using TASS.web Student Admin > Enrolments > Enrolment Information > Enrolments on the ‘Communication Log’ tab.

Student Note Categories can also be added in TASS.web Student Admin > Enrolment Records > Setup Information > Enrolments Setup on the 'Student Note Categories' tab.

A Note Category is mandatory when a note is entered:

  • By an administrator, using TASS.web Student Admin > Student Records > Student Information > Student on the 'Notes' or 'Conf. Notes' tab or

  • By a teacher, using Staff Kiosk Students > Student Profile (Notes).

Each Note Category can be set up as a portal security permission point for Staff Kiosk.

Coming Soon!

TASS.web User Permission Points for Student Note Categories will be available from v01.060.01.200. See the ‘TASS.web User Permissions’ section below for more information.

This means that Teachers/Employees who do not have access to a particular Note Category permission:

  • Cannot add notes using this Note Category, and

  • Cannot access notes (belonging to this Note Category) that have been entered by others.

When Note Categories are added, edited, or deleted in this program (Note Cat. Tab), the User Permissions for each Student Note Category update to reflect the changes made.

Categories cannot be deleted after they have been used, and care should be taken when changing the description, as any notes entered against the category would be affected by the change.

To create a new Note Category, click the 'New Note Category' button.

Tick the option 'Include in Communication Log' to display notes entered using this category in the Communication Log.

'View', 'Edit' and 'Delete' links are available against existing Note Categories in the 'Action' column.

Click the 'Print' button at the top of the screen to produce a list of existing Note Categories. Tick the 'Include TK Roles' and 'Include TK Users' for details.

Staff Kiosk User Permissions

Staff Kiosk user permissions are set up using TASS.web System Admin > Users > Portal Security Permissions within the ‘Student > [Note Category]’ section.

The screen indicates the number of 'TK Roles' and the number of 'TK Users' (teachers/employees who have an individual permission point) for each Note Category

Important!

To determine all of the Staff Kiosk users who have access to a Note Category you need to take into account the users who get access as a result of belonging to a 'Role' PLUS the users who get access as a result of their individual 'User' permission.
