How do I add SIMS Quick Notes to my students’ contacts and registers?

Quick notes are a feature in SIMS Student Details that allows you to create notes for learners regarding anything that might require attention. A cache will be required before you see any changes in Edulink One.

Adding Quick Note Tags to the Register

To enable quick notes, you would need to go to the Registers tab in the Edulink One administration settings.

Registers tab

If you haven’t set up your registers tab, you would need to do this to enable quick notes in registers, but if you have, you can enable this setting by ticking Quick Note in the Selected Tags field.

Ensure you save any changes by selecting ‘Save’ at the bottom of the screen.

Once you open a register, if a child has a quick note attached to them in SIMS a ‘Note’ tag will appear beside their name.

Click on the tag to view the note.
