Article summary

The Indicators section in CRM Advise helps advisors identify and monitor important academic or behavioral patterns that may affect a student’s success such as low grades, attendance issues, or specific achievements. Indicators serve as early alerts, allowing advisors to take timely action and provide appropriate support.

Accessing Indicators

You can access Indicators directly from a student’s profile:

  1. From your My Advisee List, click the student’s Full Name to open their profile.
  2. The Indicators panel is located in the middle section of the screen, between the Student Details on the left and the Success Score Performance chart on the right.

The panel provides three viewing options:

  • Active: Displays currently active indicators.
  • Inactive: Shows previously closed or inactive indicators.
  • All: Combines both active and inactive indicators.

Each indicator shows:

  • The indicator name (e.g., Athlete Students, UAT – Continues Stu ind Rule).
  • A date representing when the indicator was created.
  • A toggle switch to activate or deactivate the indicator (green means active).

Add New Indicator

To create a new indicator for a student:

  1. From your My Advisee List, click the student’s Full Name to open their profile.

  2. In the Indicators panel (middle section of the page, between Student Details and Success Score Performance), click the plus (+) icon at the top of the panel.
