Expanded Space in Student Indicators
While 12 student indicator spaces is fantastic there are twice that amount of available criteria that could be displayed proving very useful to administrative staff teachers clerical parents and other users of the system. We limit how we use this area right now because some of the uses for us that we'd like to do cannot be implemented because to do so would not leave enough room to achieve the overall objective of this area. We would have to leave a few things out and that makes the certain uses ineffective so we have to scrap the whole idea of that use. We find this area extremely helpful to users in many different positions throughout the district and would love to see it expanded to incorporate a more robust use of the area.
We'd like to be able to use some of the Indicator Categories more extensively. More spaces available would be helpful to achieve this.

Great news! With PR 4467911 unlimited Student Indicators can now be added in each entity. As a result, when adding/editing Student Indicators, the ability to set a position for the indicator has been removed (grid option). On screens where the indicators display in two rows (such as Student Profile), only the first 12 indicators will display for a student. Clicking on the indicators will display all indicators. If the indicators are displayed on a single line, all indicators will be displayed, even if there are more than 12. This update has gone out with June Addendum 6.

We have used all 12 slots and have many others we would like to use. Please increase the number of indicators to 24 or more.

Would love to have more than 12 indicator codes. We report so many different things it would be great to have 16 - 24 indicators.

Currently Skyward gives districts the ability to display 12 student indicators. With the amount of special programs and other programs that need to be tracked the need for additional indicator slots is imperative. Currently large districts need to be selective as far as the priority of the program because of the limitation.
As an example our district tracks
1. Bilingual/ESL
2. Health Condition
3. Special Ed
4. Migrant Information
5. RTI
6. AT-Risk
7. 504
8. Gifted/Talented
9. Approved Transfer
10. Online Registration Verified
11. Early College High School/TSTEM
12. Parent Consent
We would also like to monitor the following:
13. CTE
14. Unapproved AUP
15. Enrolled in an Activity (extra-curricular)
16. Student is in Dual Enrollment
17. Summer School Student
18. 21st Century Students

lease add student indicators for faculty use in the mobile app.
This would help administrators and other faculty when they are at afterschool activities and they are dealing with health or other need to know situations if the staff member could see the student indicators in order to respond quickly to situations.
