Priorities

There is a hierarchy of priority levels in the Flex system that are used by adults when creating an activity. The priority levels determine if the activity is a student-choice or teacher-mandated activity. Higher priority levels will override lower priority levels when it comes to activities scheduled on the student’s calendar. Here is our Priority Level Guide that explains the priority levels in detail.

Below is the “Priorities” screen where a system admin can edit and hide priority levels. All priority types, other than “Plus Add”, can be hidden or deactivated. Priority level titles and abbreviations can be changed if desired, but the color and functionality will remain the same. Please see below for more information.

Please see the following two videos for more information:

• Managing Priority Levels (for admins)
• Taking a Deep Dive into Priority Levels (for all adults)

Customize Priorities in your Flex system

1. To hide or deactivate a priority level, click the check mark in the “Status” column and confirm. The priority level will stay in the list but have an “X” in the status column. This can also be done through the edit icon.

   1. It is best to do this prior to having your teachers create activities and use a priority level you wish to hide.
   2. It is possible to deactivate a priority level that has been used on a scheduled activity. It will remain on already-created activities but is not available when new activities are created.
   3. Deactivated priority levels will disappear from the Priority Legend on the My Schedule screen.
      

2. To edit the title and/or abbreviation, click on the pencil icon in the “Actions” column for the desired priority level. Make the desired changes on the screen shown below and click “Update”. Notice that you can also deactivate the priority level here by using the toggle button.
