Success Plans The Success Plan module allows you to track students' progress in their Success Plans. Each Success Plan contains Steps for students to complete. Each Step represents a type of task, such as visiting a center, responding to a survey, uploading a document, and more. Success Plans can additionally be chained together, prompting a new Plan to be created when one Plan is completed. This article will go into detail on what options are available for managing your Success Plans, including how to create them, assigning Plans to students, and reporting on that data. Creating a Success Plan To create a Success Plan, go to Other > Success Plans > Hamburger menu (File:Hamburger.png) > New Success Plan. Once you save your Success Plan with a name, the following options will be available. File:5770500.png Plan Name This is the name of the Success Plan that you will be assigning to students. This is also visible to students on the dashboard when viewing progress Date Mode This option determines how the Due in Days options of your steps is calculated. Relative to Plan Start is the most common option, meaning the student would have 5 days to complete the first step in the screenshot above, starting when they were first assigned the plan. Relative to Term Start is based on the semester start date instead. If your term started on Jan 1st, and the student was assigned the Success Plan on the 3rd, they still need to complete the first Step by Jan 5th. Fixed allows you to specify a deadline for each Step. Inactive If this is checked, the Plan will be deactivated and won't be available to select going forward until it is reactivated. No data is deleted by checking this box, so this is preferred instead of deleting the entire Plan. Steps Click on the New Step button to create your first Step. Based on which Step Type you choose, the rest of the options on this page can differ. File:7332126.png Days from Plan Start or Date This allows you to specify when this Step needs to be completed. You will specify the number of days if one of the relative Date Modes is used, or specify a due date date if the fixed Date Mode is chosen. Step Type This option is where you define what criteria must be met for the Step to be marked as completed. Depending on which option you choose, additional options will be made available to further specify what the student must complete. E.g., if you select Visit as the type, you can set which Center the student needs to visit. Visit - Based on the student's visit. You can choose which Center, Reason, Consultant, and Section/Course List must be selected for the visit to count towards Plan completion. If these fields are left blank, they are not considered when the Step is completed. Survey - This is based on the student responding to a specified survey. Click here for more information on SurveyTrac. Document - The student will need to upload a document of the specified type to an appointment for this to be marked as completed. Click here for more information on Documents. Task - Based on the student's completion of a task. Click here for more information on Tasks. Checkout - Based on student's resource usage. A Step of this type is completed when the student checks out a resource matching the name and category entered here. Click here for more information on Resources. Notification - This is based on the student's acknowledgement of a notification. Click here for more information on Notification Types. Prompt - This appears as a highlighted question on the student, staff, or faculty dashboard. You can choose the question and the confirm button title, as well as allow the user to enter notes. Prompt / Confirmation Directed To If Step Type Prompt is chosen, this option determines who will see this confirmation. The Student, the Plan/Step Consultant, or the Plan/Step Faculty. File:3799967.png Override Confirmation for this Step By default, your steps will follow the Plan's Steps are Confirmed preference. This option allows you to override that for a specific step, requiring or not requiring that a staff member must confirm the completion of this step. Is an Optional Step If checked, the completion of this Step does not contribute to overall completion of the Plan. These Steps can still be used to initiate emails. Do not send completion/reminder emails This option prevents this Step from prompting emails to be sent. Show prompt to complete on dashboard This will show a reminder to the student in the form of an announcement on the dashboard. The text here can also be customized if you want to provide more specific instructions. Dashboard Display Students can be shown information about their Success Plans on their dashboard. The information and formatting contained here can be customized to more clearly inform students of their Plan and show the current status of each Step. The screenshot below is the student dashboard with the default display configuration. File:8328440.png The default value for this tab can be loaded by clicking the clipboard icon in the top-left corner of this menu. Both Twig and HTML can be used to personalize this. Header displays once at the top of this form, and is expected to contain instructions or details on their Success Plan. Line Display repeats for each Step the student has been assigned, using Twig to determine if the formatting needs to change for each entry. Footer Display is the final block of text in this menu. If these fields are left blank, the Success Plan widget will not be shown on the student dashboard at all. Emails Emails can be sent to users upon assignment and completion of a Plan, and to act as reminders for individual steps if the due date is approaching. These emails can utilize Twig to display additional information and add logic to the contents of the email itself. More information on Twig can be found here. To create your first email, click the New Email button. This will show you the following menu where you can select your recipients, as well as specify the subject, body, and optional SMS text of this email. Sending SMS texts requires the TextAlerts Module. The Recipients field can use Twig tags such as {{Student.Email}} to automatically use the correct address. The second tab within each email is Options, this can be used to determine the context that should prompt this email to send. Available Twig Tags: Success Plans SuccessPlan.Name The name of your Success Plan SPAssigned.DateStarted Start Date of the Success Plan SPAssigned.DateCompleted Completion Date of the Success Plan SPAssigned.DueDate Due Date for Success Plan SPAssigned.Status The Status of the Success Plan (e.g., "In Progress") SPAssigned.Percent The completion percentage of the Success Plan (e.g., 75) raw The text that would appear on the student's main menu showing their progress in the plan.

Other {{Trigger}} The trigger that prompted this email to be sent (trigger_PlanStarted, trigger_PlanReminder1, trigger_PlanComplete, trigger_StepStarted, etc.) {{ setResultActions('SendEmail', '0') }} If this action is reached (typically in a Twig 'if' statement), the email will not be sent {{ setResultActions('FacultyID', '1') }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), the assigned Faculty will be changed to the sequence number specified here {{ setResultActions('ConsultantID', '1') }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), the assigned Consultant will be changed to the sequence number specified here {{ setResultActions('TermID', '1') }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), the assigned Term will be changed to the sequence number specified here {{ setResultActions('NextPlanID', '3') }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), a new Success Plan will be assigned (for use in Chained Sub Plans) {{ GetDatePlusDays(5) }} Get the current date plus the number of days specified in parentheses {{ GetDateTimePlusDays(5) }} Get the current date AND time plus the number of days specified in parentheses {{ createResultAction('createNotification', {'Type' : 1, 'Notes' : 'Sample Notes', 'StudentID': Student.Sequence, 'ForUID' : Student.UUID}) }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), the student will be sent a Notification. Enter the notification sequence where the '1' is in this example. {{ createResultAction('createSurvey', {'SurveyID' : 1, 'StudentID': Student.Sequence, 'linkedUID' : Student.UUID}) }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), the student will be sent a Survey. Enter the Survey sequence where the '1' is in this example. {{ createResultAction('createReferral', {'RefTypeID' : 1, 'StudentID': Student.Sequence, 'FacultyID' : 0, 'SectionID' : 0, 'ConsultantID' : 0, 'CenterID' : 0, 'ReasonsData' : [{"key": "###keyIndex###","reason": "Time management"}]}) }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), a SAGE Referral will be created for the student. Enter the Referral sequence where the "1" is in this example. Additional assignments can also be made. {{ createResultAction('createAssignment', {'PotentialAssignmentID' : 1, 'StudentID': Student.Sequence, 'RegistrationID' : GetStudentRegID(Student.ID,'MAT100 0000 FALL%'), 'GradePoints' : 0, 'Comments' : 'Notes go here'}) }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), an Assignment will be created for the student.

Enter the Task sequence where the '0' and choose a due date. {{ createResultAction('updateStudent', {'Major' : 'Business', 'CustomData.cf_99' : "Text goes here' }) }} If this action is reached (in a Twig statement), student fields can be updated to the text specified here. Multiple fields can be edited at once (Major and Custom_99 in this example). Field names are case sensitive. Options The final tab in your Success Plan Type is Options. This contains various options to fine-tune the functionality of this Success Plan. File:2452234.png Allow Notes Per Steps If checked, staff members will have the ability to enter notes on each Step in student profiles. Steps are Confirmed If checked, a staff member will need to confirm the completion of a Step before it's counted towards Plan completion. Completion of Steps may be overridden This allows a staff member to specify a completion date for a Step even if the criteria hasn't been met by TracCloud's own process. For example, if a student handed in a physical document rather than uploading it to an appointment, this can be used to mark that Step as completed anyway. Steps may be Completed Out of Order If this option is unchecked, Steps must be completed in order to count towards Plan completion. If checked, students can complete Steps in any order. Plan / Step Reminder Options Multiple reminder emails can be sent as the due date of a Step/Plan approaches. Use these options to determine when those reminders are sent relative to the due date of each Step/Plan. Chain a Sub Plan Additional plans can be initiated based on the completion of the current plan. There are two options on this tab, Specific Sub Plan, which allows a simple selection of a follow-up plan to be chosen, and Conditional Sub Plan. The latter provides additional flexibility for determining if a Plan should be assigned, and what plan that should be. {{ setResultActions('NextPlanID', '#') }} is used to assign a follow-up Success Plan. # should be replaced with the sequence number of the Plan you want to assign. This should be wrapped in Twig logic to determine your criteria for what new Plan should be assigned. More information on how you can utilize Twig can be found here. Assigning and Managing Success Plans for Students Plans can be assigned to individual students from the Success Plans tab of their profile. Click on Assign Plan to Student and choose the Plan type that you want to use. This page also lists the current and past Plans for this student, including assigned/due date, completion status, term, and more. Clicking the pencil icon on the left provides quick access to that Plan's options. After creating a new Plan for the student (or opening an existing one), you will find the following options. This includes basic details about the student, their plan details such as due date and progress, the assigned consultant, faculty, and term, and the individual steps. The options available within each Step can differ based on your Plan options. Override Completion allows you to specify if and when a Step was completed, bypassing TracCloud's automated tracking. Completion Confirmed is used to confirm that this Step has been concluded, allowing it to count towards Plan completion percentage. Notes can be used for any purpose to record additional information regarding each Step. File:5418866.png Success Plans can also be assigned to multiple students at once from the Student Listing. Go to Students > Search for your selection of students > Hamburger menu (File:Hamburger.png) > Assign Success Plan. Group Permissions In order to give a staff member the ability to manage Success Plan types, they must be given access to the Success Plan Table. Go to Other > Other Options > Groups > [The group you want to modify] > Admin / Modules > Table Access > Add "Success Plans" > Save. You can use the colored icon to determine what level of access is provided, as with other tables. Staff and Faculty Dashboard If a Success Plan has been assigned to a Consultant or Faculty (and that user has access to the Success Plans table), a new widget will be visible on the dashboard allowing quick access to student Plans. This can be filtered by Status, Date, and Type. Each entry can be clicked on to view the full Success Plan entry page for further management. Reports The Success Plans report found in Reports > Success Plans allows you to view a list of student success plans, along with their status, completion percentage, additional student information, and more. Time Frame The date range for the data in this report. Beyond entering a date range manually, you can also choose a preset date range (Today, This Month, This Semester, etc) from the dropdown list above. Success Plan Select the Success Plan type that you want to show results for. Apply Date Range to Choose what your selected date range is in reference to. Defaults to any matching date range. Sort by Choose how the selected data is sorted. Faculty Name Filter by assigned faculty name. Expected format is "Last, First". Show Step Details If enabled, student progress on individual steps and a visual timeline of step due dates will be shown. Show Visit Details If checked, the Subject, Reason, Consultant, and Center of the visit will be included in the results. Include Inactive Plans Inactive plans are hidden by default, this option allows you to include them in report results. Additional Search Filter your results by a selected field. Use * as a wildcard (Subject: MAT*) | as "or" (Major: Mathematics|Biology) # as "Not" (Status: #Inactive) && as "And" (Major: #Mathematics&&#Biology) blankornull as a keyword to find records where the field is blank (Reason: blankornull) Multiple fields can be added to further narrow down your results. Additional fields to show This can be used to add additional data fields to the report results. For example, you could use this to add a student's email address in a visit report.
