Viewing Comments

The guide below shows you how to view comments in Evisense. If a comment has been added to a post, you will see the number of comments on the post. If there are no comments on a post it will say “Write a comment…”

Adding a Comment to a Post Linked to One Student

The guide below shows you how to add a comment to a post that is tagged to only one student. The process for commenting on a post tagged to multiple students is slightly different and covered further down.

Adding a Comment to a Post Linked to Multiple Students

The guide below shows you how to add a comment to a post that is tagged to multiple students. When you are writing a comment on a post linked to multiple students, you must tag which student the comment is for. If a student is commenting, it will tag the student automatically. If you are replying to an existing comment, it will tag the student automatically.

Adding a Comment to a Post for All Students Linked to that Post

This option is only available for school users (not parents/students). The guide below shows you how to “tag all” students on a post to quickly add comments for all the students that are linked to that post.

How to Delete a Comment

The guide below shows you how to delete a comment on a post. Most users can only delete comments they have written. Administrators and other users have the ability to delete other users comments. If you do not see the delete option, you do not have the permissions required to delete the comment.

Comments and Parental Isolation

When parents use Evisense, they will only access the posts their child is tagged in, that you have shared with them, and no protected children are tagged. They will see posts where just their child is tagged, and they may see posts where other students are tagged alongside their own child. Some schools have a policy that if the photo contains multiple students, the post is not shared with parents, while other schools are happy to share posts containing multiple students.

All comments on posts are isolated based on your connection to the students. School users will see all comments, threaded by student, students will only see comments linked to them and parents will only see comments linked to their child. This also means school users can link a comment to any of the students, the student’s comments are linked to themselves, and the parent’s comments are linked to their child.

In one post containing five students, you could have five different isolated conversations with input from all ten parents and five students involved. Each conversation will be linked to a student, with only the teacher, student and their parents will see the conversation relating to them.

When commenting on a post containing multiple students, you must tag a student in the comment using the @ symbol. If there is only one student in the post, it automatically tags the student.

This isolation between parents of different students means private conversations can be had and there is likely to be less confrontation, disagreements, or misunderstandings.

The only time comments from parents are not isolated is when using the Event post type. If you are using the Event post type, all comments on that post are visible to everyone.
