Create a Smart Group of Students Based on Filter Criteria

Smart Groups

Smart Student Groups are essentially saved filter sets that let you create a set of filter selections that can be applied whenever you wish to find the students who currently meet the filter criteria. If a student’s information changes and they meet/no longer meet the filter criteria, they are added or removed from the group accordingly.

For example, on the Students tab, set the demographic filters to a single grade and select At Risk and Persistently at Risk under literacy statuses. Click the Save button and you’ll have a group that can be used to find the students meeting those criteria. As students are assessed during each of the screening windows, the group will automatically update as literacy statuses change. No need to recreate or manually update each window!

Save applied filters to create a dynamic list of students. Any student who meets the filter criteria will automatically populate into this group whenever it is accessed.

  1. Go to the Students tab
  2. Select desired demographic filters. Note: smart groups are based only on filters so do not select specific students in the resulting list
  3. Click the Save button on the upper right corner of graph
