Detailed Steps and Screenshots 

This article contains the following information: 

• Access Categories under "My Profile"
• ADD new category
• EDIT existing category assignments

To ensure that your account is associated with your correct school, class section(s), etc (specific options will depends on how your school has set up EdReady) you'll need to make some minor updates to your EdReady Profile. These edits will ensure that your teacher has access to see your progress and that you get credit for working in EdReady.

These steps can be completed at any time, but we recommend that you do this as you begin working in EdReady. 

A. Access 'My Profile' Categories

1. Log into EdReady. Stay on this page and do not go to your goals dashboard.

2. Click on your name in the top header and a dropdown menu will appear. Click on Edit Profile.

Note: if your view looks more like THIS than what is shown above, then you are not in the right place. Go back to the main screen where you land after you first log in. 

3. Click on the Categories tab

B. Add new category

Note that the instructions are essentially the same for ANY category/value that you need to add. Different EdReady sites will have different categories available for their students to select.

5. Select the name of a category from the dropdown menu and click Next

6. Click the Create Value button above the table

7. A window will open with a pop-up window, listing all available options. Select the correct value for this category. If you don't know what to select, ask your instructor for guidance. Click the Save button.

8. You will see your selected class displayed on-screen. To get back to the main Categories table, click Categories in the breadcrumbs.

9. Repeat steps 4-8 for any categories you need to add to your account.
