How to capture Biographical Information

The Biographical Information function allows you to record additional developmental data — such as body weight, height and IQ — directly onto a learner’s profile, helping your school maintain a holistic view of each child’s progress and well-being.

My School > People  >  Learners > Learners:  Biographical Information

How do I capture biographical data?

  1. Filter your view: Select the appropriate Year, Term, Grade and Register Class.

  2. Bio Type: Choose the specific measurement from the dropdown: Body Weight, Height or IQ.

  3. Enter values for each learner on the list.

  4. Click Submit to save.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some grades missing from the dropdown?

If a grade is not visible, the Learning Programme for that grade has not been created yet. Navigate to My School > System  >  Curriculum > Curriculum Setup:  Learning Programmes, click Add New and create the necessary Grade and Term entries. Once added, the grade will appear in the Biographical Information screen.
