Configure Completion Standards tasks
userXello AdminTime3 minutes

Setting up Completion Standards helps your students know exactly what they need to do each year, while making it easy for you to track their progress. From the Completion Standards page, you can assign tasks to specific years, adjust settings like due dates and scoping, and arrange how tasks appear on student dashboards.

noteTip: This article covers Xello's tasks. Custom tasks can be created by Xello admin to build upon existing activities. Check out Add custom tasks to learn more.

To configure Xello Completion Standards tasks:

  1. From your educator account, click Features and select Completion Standards.

  2. Click a task to open its configuration settings.

  3. Select which years you want to assign the task to.
    • Multiple years: Assigning a task to multiple years keeps it on the student's To-do list across years until completed. Students only need to complete the task once.
    • Cumulative tasks: For tasks requiring a minimum number of items (like interests or skills), targets build on previous work. For example, if Year 8 requires 3 interests and Year 9 requires 5, a student who completes 3 in Year 8 only needs to add 2 more in Year 7.
  4. Select any additional options you'd like to apply:
    • Scope by school or group: Limit task visibility to specific schools or student groups within your chosen years.
    • Due date: Set a deadline for the task. All set due dates automatically roll over to the following school year on June 30.
    • Year-specific settings: Apply configuration options across all assigned years or customise them year by year.
  5. When finished, click Save.

Sequence tasks

The order of tasks in your configuration table determines how they appear on student To-do lists.

To rearrange the sequence of tasks: 

  1. On the Completion Standards page, click and drag the task row to move it up or down.
  2. Release the task in your preferred order. Changes save automatically.

noteNote: Due dates override the manual sequence on the student To-do list. Any tasks that are overdue or due within the next 2 weeks will automatically jump to the top of the student's list regardless of table order.
