How To - Set Up Reasons in the Content Mastery Tracking System
Setting up "Reasons" for visits in the CMTS (note: Admin level users only can perform this task)

If you choose to, you can set up the CMTS Logon program to ask the student the "reason" for their visit.

Like the User Flag Labels and Help Level Descriptions, the "Reasons" that are set up will be for the entire district (all labs in your district that use the CMTS), therefore only Admin level users can enter "Reasons". There is no limit to the number of reasons you can create.  (For more information on turning this feature on or off, see KB Article#18 "How To - Turn On/Off Reasons Tracking in the CMTS Logon Program")

To add new reasons (or make changes to existing Reasons), click File from the main menu and then click Reasons. The reasons will appear in a grid.

Just type in the name of the reason (as you want it to appear to students when they are logging themselves into a study session in the CMTS Logon program) and click the Pencil icon to save it. (For example, you can enter Assignment or Study Time, or Benchmark, or Testing, etc.)

Editing a Reason
After clicking File from the main menu, then Reasons, the Reasons grid appears (see above). To edit an existing reason, just click the Edit link (to the left of the reason you want to edit, then make changes as needed and click the Pencil icon to save the changes.
