Labels are a multi-faceted tool in Handshake. There are several uses for labels, including easily adding contacts to a targeted email recipient list, organising students on required survey completion, and
In these instructions, we'll use the Student Management page as an example. Utilise the left navigation bar to select Manage under the Students section.
You can select any filter you want to narrow down which students should have a label added to their Handshake account. Click Apply at the bottom of the list to apply this filter.
Check the box on the top left of the list of students to select all the students on the first page of the filter results. You can choose Select all to choose every student, in our example, this would select all 66 students meeting the criteria. Choose Manage labels to open the Label Items pop up box.
You can either select existing labels or add a new label.
If you stay on the Existing label option, you can look up any existing label used at your institution under the Add labels prompt. Select Apply once you've select the label(s).
If you select the New label option, you can create a new label. Add the Label name, what it's Used for, and the Type of label. For more in-depth information about creating labels, refer to Creating and Managing Labels. Select Apply once you've finished creating the label.
If you created a label, you can add this to the selected students. You can filter on these labels in various areas of Handshake!
