Manage school-provided categories
You can create school-provided categories for instructors to classify evidence collected from learners, based on the specific requirements of the school. You can also enable instructors to create additional categories for their own classes. Instructors can access the categories they create in all their classes. Instructors can also see and use any categories that were added by instructors that are also part of their class, so that co-teachers in a classroom can use the same categories. Other instructors not a part of the classroom do not see these instructor-created categories.
Note: Ensure users have the Can Add Portfolio Tags permission for the Organization org type if you want to enable instructor-created categories.
