Edsby provides support for comment categories. Comment categories can optionally be turned on for a report card data entry template with the specific set of categories defined in the template.

Each category then provides a shortcut method to filter whatever comment library(s) are set up with the tag associated with the category. In this example, clicking Learned will show all comments that have been tagged with the term Learned.

Click a comment to add it to the report card. If a library comment is chosen, the category checkmark is set automatically and becomes green. This indicates the comment has successfully covered the category.

Clicking Strengths or Next Steps would show comments associated with those specific tags.

Note: Teachers can also type in a comment and manually click the category checkmark to help keep track of which categories have been covered by the comment entered.
