How To - Create an Anecdotal Comment in Bulk for Multiple Students

When creating a new anecdotal comment, it is possible to attach more than one student to a comment. Doing so will create a "bulk comment" which creates a copy of the comment for each student. When submitting the comment, you will be asked to choose to whom the comment should be assigned and sent to as a CC. Depending on school Comment Type settings, Assignee and CC's may be auto set based on the Comment Type you select.

Navigate to the Comments menu item and select New Comment.

In the Student field, begin to type a student name. Select desired student name(s) from the autofill list that displays.

Assignee

Alternatively, assign each of the individual comments to a single selected staff member.
