This article explains how to add individual and mass tags to a student profile.
When are Tags Used
Tags are frequently used to create lists of students for issues that are not accounted for in other methods of grouping students (such as Advanced Search criteria or Categories).
Who Can Apply Tags
Tags are created by the Navigate Administrator. Access to apply tags are granted to specific staff based on their job duties.
Instructions

To apply mass tags you must have a list of student IDs
Go to Administration (the gear icon in the Navigation).
Select Mass Tagging by ID
The mass tag students box will open.
Click to put your curser in the box under Tags (comma separated).

The tag you selected should now be showing in the box under Tags (comma separated).
