Da Capo Inventory allows you to track up to four custom fields per student. These fields can be enabled, updated, and displayed to provide teachers with additional student-specific information.
Enabling Custom Fields #
- A Director enables Custom Fields from the Director Dashboard.
- Once enabled, the fields will appear in the Modify Student page and in the Upload Building (or District) Enrollment Template.
Updating Custom Fields #
Option 1: Manual Updates #
- Teachers or Directors can add or edit custom field data for each student directly on the Modify Student Detials page.
Option 2: Upload Updated List of Students #
- Teachers or Directors can re-upload the student list using the Upload Building (or District) Enrollment Template. The Da Capo SYNC feature can also be used to update such information during the nightly SYNC.
- To update successfully, the following must be included in the file:
- District Student ID (must exactly match the existing record)
- First Name
- Last Name
- Grade Level
- Any Custom Fields you wish to update (up to four, located at the far right of the template).
- Only the fields you provide will be updated. Other student data will remain unchanged.
- Parent/guardian information is not required when uploading updates.
⚠️ Important: Ensure that the District Student ID, student names, and grade level match existing records, and double-check spelling for accuracy.
Viewing Custom Fields #
- Once saved, custom field data becomes visible when you visit the Teacher’s Enrollment Page or by hovering over a student’s name on the Lesson Card (Teacher Homepage).
- This provides quick access to additional information at a glance.
