Gradient Leaders with membership to the System Administrators Access Group may set up custom fields for use when filtering data in reports. 
  • Examples of custom fields: Gender, Race, ELL, Ethnicity, Free/Reduced, etc. These fields will be populated when importing rosters or by a Clever / ClassLink roster sync.

 

 

Create a Custom Field

  1. Within Admin Mode, select the More tab and then select Custom Fields from the drop-down menu.

You may run reports on specific Custom Fields from Teacher Mode or School Reporting Mode.

For Clever and ClassLink districts, custom fields (demographic data) are already mapped in the synced roster file. If additional fields are needed, use the steps above to create and import the custom fields using the Import Students File.

 

 

Next Steps

After creating the Custom Fields in Gradient, add Custom Fields data to student records in Gradient.

  • Use the Combined Import File if this is the first import of the year.
  • Use the Import Students File if a Combined Import has already been run and you are adding custom fields to student data in Gradient.
  • You can also manually add Custom Field data to students. See Edit Custom Data for students.
