Creating a Skill

With iClassPro’s new skills feature you will need to set up your skill bank. The skill bank is a list of skills from your school curriculum.

Step 1:
First you will need to navigate to your skill tracking settings. Go to:

Settings  >  Skills

Step 2:
To add skills, choose the Skill Bank Tab.

Step 3:
Click Create New Skill.

Step 4:
Enter the details of your Skill…..Name, Description, Skill Tags and any associated Photos or Videos. Having skill descriptions and media will allow your staff to access that information from the Staff Portal.

A Note about using Tags:
Skill tags are used to differentiate skills of the same name.  For example, if you want a Beginner Handstand and an Advanced Handstand, you can use tags to help organize and label.

Step 5 (optional):
Add media to your skills. 

If you wish, you can upload images related to the skill.

To do this:

1. Click on the MEDIA tab
   
2. Scroll down to the IMAGES section. Click BROWSE FILES to locate images on your computer to upload or simply drag-and-drop them into the designated area.

You can also embed a video that demonstrates the skill being evaluated if you desire. To do this:

1. Click on the MEDIA tab
   
   
2. Scroll down to the VIDEOS section:

Editing or Removing a Skill
