A Swift Action button is a quick-select button that staff can select in a student's sidebar profile that provides a predetermined "swift" action.

Example 1:  Click Swift Button with label "Activities Bus" to place student in "Activity Bus" Group.


Example 2:  Click Swift Button with label  "Late to Study Hall" to create a predetermined pastoral note such as "Student was late to study hall."  No additional note required to be written once selected, but additional details can be added by staff before saving.
