SAGE SAGE (Student Alert and Group Events) is an additional module available for the Trac System. SAGE allows your faculty members to submit referrals, progress reports, or evaluations for the students enrolled in their courses. Based on the choices made while creating the referral, an automated email could be sent out to the student's assigned advisor, a professor, or otherwise, that way you and your staff can be as proactive as possible in helping your students. You can think of SAGE like a three-step process.
Creating and Completing ReferralsThere are multiple ways to create referrals for students, depending on which method best fits your campus workflow. Referrals can be created by faculty via the class roster, or by advisors or other staff from student profiles. Faculty View: Roster Annotations
As a faculty member, let's say we wanted to submit a referral for one of our classes. We can simply click on the referral we want to submit for any given roster, then we'll be given access to a batch referral tool. From this menu, we can click on individual students and fill out unique referrals for each without leaving this screen. Once we've filled out referrals for the specific students, we click save and we're all set. The referral process has begun for each of these students that we filled out a referral for and emails will be sent. If the referral is configured as a roster annotation for [X] days (covered later in this article), we can even open this batch referral tool later (but within the day limit) and continue where we left off by updating existing referrals. The green check-marks indicate a referral that has already been opened. Clicking it again lets us pick up right where we left off. We also have the ability to apply the same Reason/Recommendation to multiple students at once. Select Affect All Selected and Shown and check the checkboxes for each student we want to assign this reason/recommendation to. Now when we make a recommendation or apply a reason to one student, it will also affect all other checked students. We will see that all other students now have a ... icon, which indicates that a referral is in progress. As a faculty member, we can also book an appointment for the student from this screen as well (assuming our permission group allows it). This can be accomplished by clicking on the calendar icon on the right-hand side for the relevant student. Student Profiles: Individual Referrals
Referrals can be submitted individually from student profiles as well. As non-faculty staff don't have access to the class roster view, this will be their primary utility for submitting referrals, but faculty can of course use this method too. New referrals can be created through the Actions button, past referrals can be viewed on the student timeline. After selecting the referral type that we want to submit, we're taken to the full referral submission screen. We'll cover more on configuring this side of SAGE later in this article. Student Listing: Batch Referrals
It's also possible to submit referrals from the student listing in bulk. This allows us to search for students enrolled in a specific course, load a list, or just search for a couple students manually and create referrals as a batch. This screen will operate in the same way as the faculty roster referral tool. Students are selected with the checkboxes on the right-side. Processing/Completing Referrals
Referrals Listing
Hamburger MenuEvery listing page in the Trac System features a hamburger menu with utilities to search for or interact with your list of records. Some of these options are specific to a certain listing/record-type, others are shared. The following list includes definitions for the hamburger menu options available on this listing, and how they can be utilized.
SAGE ConfigurationThe following chapters of this wiki article will cover how you can create your SAGE referral types, including the reasons, recommendations, emails, custom questions, and more. Creating SAGE Referral Types
To create new SAGE Referral Types, modify existing, or simply review your current configuration, go to Other > SAGE > Referral Types. This will bring you to the Referral Type Listing. To create a new Referral Type, you would click the hamburger icon (), then select New Referral Type. After opening a referral or creating a new one, you will be able to access the following options.
Reasons & Recommendations
Click the Add Reasons / Recommendations box to add a new option. Setting a Reason/Recommendation as a "Label" will turn the field into a form of header for the following reasons, to help categorize your different options. These options can also be reorganized by dragging the hamburger icon () on the right-side up/down. Custom Questions
To create your custom question, click Add New Question.
Potential Email Recipients
Referral to Testing Center
From the faculty perspective, there's a Schedule icon for each student in the roster referral listing, and/or the option to select multiple students and click "Book Testing Center Appointment" to schedule a group appointment for all selected students. Automated Emails & Twig
The Automated Emails tab allows you to create custom emails that can be sent to one or more of your Potential Email Recipients upon referral submission, follow-up, or completion. Common examples might be an email that is sent to the student when a referral is created for them, with a separate email being sent to an assigned advisor or faculty. The recipients, number of emails, and email contents are up to you. To create your first Email, click Create New Email, type in your subject line, then click Save. This will add the email to your Automated Emails listing. Click the Pencil Icon for the email you just created, and you should end up at a page like this.
One of the key elements of configuring your SAGE emails is Twig, which you can think of as a mini-programming language. Twig plays two key roles, providing tags for the information displayed, and adding logic to your email to determine what content is sent.
A full list of email tags can be found here, but to give a quick example, you could format an email as such: Hello, {{Student.First_Name}}, this {{ReferralType.Name}} was submitted by {{Faculty.FirstName}}.
Each of those tags would then be replaced by the relevant information when the email is actually sent. If you wanted to list out the reasons and recommendations that were selected, you would do something like the this. This is because there may be multiple values for reasons and recommendations, while there's only one value stored in Student.First_Name. This referral is being submitted because of these reasons:
<br>
{% for key,value in Reasons %}
{{ value }} <br>
{% endfor %}
<br><br>
And these recommendations:
<br>
{% for key,value in Recommendations %}
{{ value }} <br>
{% endfor %}
This is where Twig gets slightly more complicated, but significantly more powerful. Let's say you want to add an extra sentence to your email, but only if a particular reason was selected. In that case, you could write your email like this: {% if "Poor Attendance" in Reasons %}
Online Tutoring is now available! See example.edu/remote/ for more information.
{% endif %}
That sentence will only be included in the email if that Reason was selected. You may also want to not send the email if a certain condition is met. You can wrap an entire email in an 'if' statement, where the following special action is used which prevents the email from sending. {% if "No recommendations at this time" not in Recommendations %}
This referral is being submitted because of these reasons:
<br>
{% for key,value in Reasons %}
{{ value }} <br>
{% endfor %}
<br><br>
And these recommendations:
<br>
{% for key,value in Recommendations %}
{{ value }} <br>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
#ACTION:DO NOT SEND#
{% endif %}
One other factor to consider is custom questions. These can still be used emails, but you will need to use the "Code Reference" value that you set earlier. For example, if your Code Reference was "GradeQuestion1," the format of this tag would be {{Questions.GradeQuestion1}} and {{Answers.GradeQuestion1}} for the question and answer respectively. The extent of what Twig is capable of is outside the scope of this article. Take a look at our dedicated Twig Guide here, which also includes a list of available tags for students, staff, etc. Additional SAGE-specific tags can be viewed in that article or in the table below.
Created, Followed Up, Processed
In each automated email, you can determine when the email is sent based on a trigger. Created, Followed up, or Processed. Here's what each of those options mean in practice. On Created On Followed-up On Processed Emails configured to send "On Processed" will send when the referral is marked as processed/completed/resolved (this phrasing may be configured differently for your system). This button will open a pop-up window to record additional information, the email sends when that pop-up is saved. Like the previous triggers, this email can only be resent by using Override and Resend with the "Processed" option. Permission Group Options
Other > Other Options > Groups > [The Group you want to modify] > Admin / Modules
To provide access to the referrals listing, add "Referrals" to table access as well. ReportsThere are three SAGE-specific reports available in TracCloud, each providing a different way to view your referral data. These reports can be found in the Navigation Bar, under Reports > SAGE. SAGE Referral Snapshot
This report provides a snapshot of referrals submitted, including reason and recommendation totals and the number of students per reason/recommendation.
SAGE Referrals by ??
This report provides a list of referrals submitted in the date range specified. The data is grouped by Referral Type by default, showing the student's name, referral date, the staff member who submitted the referral, and the reasons/recommendations selected.
Referrals by Student and Appointments/Visits
This report displays student referral information, similar to Referrals by ??, but additionally shows information for related visits and appointments. Additional details on those records can also be displayed, along with links to the visit/appointment records for ease of access if Show Links is enabled.
