# Award Points

### Award Points

* Select the recipient type you are awarding points to: Student, Rosters or Houses
* Select your recipients
* Click Next
* Select a Category and add any optional notes
  * If a category has a lock icon next to the default point value it means the point value will not be able to be adjusted on the next page
  * All notes added to a point will be visible to Guardians
* Click Next
* There are two views for the confirmation step, Simple and Advanced. You can switch between them using the tab button in the top left
  * Simple: Each student can only be awarded a single point value, best for on-the-fly point awarding
  * Advanced: Each student can be awarded multiple point values each with their own assigned category, best for bulk awarding points
* Make any changes to point categories or point totals
  * When using the Change All Point Totals button all points will be updated to the value selected except for any points that are set to a category with a locked point value
* Click Award Points
