Add, edit Web Links in Student History Items

This article describes how to use web addresses in student history items to link to another website.

This feature is useful for programs using online Google docs for personal education plans or linking to other online documents. 

Clickable web links:

• can only be added by people with admin account privileges
• appear in the Comment field of any basic or site-specific history item
• must begin with https
• must be the only text in the Comment field - just the URL, no extra words

The full URL does not appear on the Students>History screen. You will only see "https" in the Comment field.

1. On the Students tab, search for and select the desired student row.
2. From the Students>Summary screen, click the History tab.
3. Use the form at the top of the page to create a new history item. In the Comment field, paste the URL of the destination web page. It must begin with https and cannot contain any extra words.
