The upgrade to User Defined Fields occurred earlier in the 2019 year however there are still many schools that are not aware of the improved features available in User Defined Fields so we have included a profile of these upgraded features in this update.

User Defined Fields are an opportunity for schools to capture and display important and relevant information about students to make the information easily accessible and, where required, influential in how your workflows operate.

There have been two significant updates to how User Defined Fields can be used in REACH:

  1. Schools can not have an unlimited number of User Defined Fields, and
  2. You can reflect the data from your User Defined Field onto a student's profile on the Kiosk View as an icon.

There are ten (10) User Defined Fields available for you to use in REACH and you can set the following optional display details for each User Defined Field.

  • The order that they display in the Student Sidebar
    • Whether an icon for the UDF displays in the Student Kiosk screen

    Info
    titleDisplay icon only when the UDF has content

    When icons are selected for display in the Student Kiosk screen, an icon will only display for students that have content added for the UDF field. That is, only students with an identified Medical Issue in the example above will display any icon.
