Organise your posts in the ways you want
Flags are sets of single words or phrases you can use to categorise your observations and reflections. You simply select the flag or flags you want to assign to the post when you’re making it, and use the Flags tab to find where you’ve selected it in the past.
There are a number of sets that have been created by the Tapestry team. Those include the ‘EYFS 2021’ flags which let you highlight when an observation or reflection is about a specific area of learning, and the ‘Play’ flags, which let you say when a post includes an example of a type of play (‘Free play’, ‘Construction play’, ‘Games with rules’ etc).
We’ve added ones our education team would have found useful in their classrooms but you can create your own bespoke flag sets to help you categorise and find the type of posts you’re interested in, be that ones relating to specific topics, specific areas of your school or setting, or individual goals.
They’re easy to make and edit using our bespoke flags interface and completely flexible.
There are no limits on flags – use them for whatever you think would be useful and assign as many as you like to each observation. They can be used on the browser and the apps and managers can set whether each set is visible to only staff on the account or relatives too.
If you already have a Tapestry subscription you can see how to turn them on in our ‘Enabling flags’ tutorial.
