Manage Belts & Belt Tests

    How to edit your belt test logic and administer belt tests to students.

    Manage Belts & Belt Tests overview

    Open your Belt Catalog

    Go to Settings, open the Curriculum Settings tab, and scroll to Belt Catalog.

    Use the Adults and Kids tabs to switch between your two belt catalogs.

    Each belt row has icons to edit, archive, or delete that belt, plus a drag handle to reorder.

    Tip

    Archive belts you no longer award instead of deleting them, so historical promotions stay intact.

    Add a new belt

    Click Add Belt at the top right of the Belt Catalog section.

    Choose a Primary color for the belt.

    Turn on Two-tone belt to add a Secondary color for split or striped belts.

    The belt Name is derived automatically from the selected colors, and the Preview shows the finished badge.

    Click Save to add the belt to your catalog.

    Note

    Every new belt automatically appears in the **Belt Test Requirements** section, ready for you to define its test.

    Set up belt test requirements

    Under Settings > Curriculum Settings, scroll to Belt Test Requirements.

    Use the Division dropdown to switch between the Kids and Adults tests.

    Click Set Up Requirements next to a belt to create its test, or expand an existing test with the arrow.

    Click Add Category to create categories like Escapes or Takedowns.

    Use the + icon on a category to add individual items/positions; each one is added through the Add Item dialog.

    Rename or remove categories and items/positions with the edit and trash icons.

    Add as many categories, and items within those categories, as you need.

    Administer the belt test

    Open the student's Student Information page and select the Curriculum tab.

    Scroll to the Belt Test Progress section and confirm the Division and Belt Level.

    Expand a category and use each position's dropdown to mark it Passed or Needs Work.

    As you mark positions passed, the Progress counter at the top right of the section shows the percentage of the test the student has completed.

    Use each position's Notes field to record details, then click Save.

    Tip

    You can run the test over several classes. Progress saves as you go, so you can pick up where you left off.
