Using Quick Links

Quick Links are available from the top navigation bar on every Backdrop page. They allow each staff member to pin the students or student groups they interact with most frequently so they can access them quickly. When you click on them you are taken directly to the child profile or the student group page for that group. Only you can add students and student groups to your own quick links menu.

In addition to students and groups, assigned capture (Wellbeing only) and assigned concerns will also display on the quick links menu allowing users to quickly navigate to these items and perform any required actions. Other users are able to assign captures and concerns to your user. These will display on your quick links menu along with any that you have assigned to yourself.
