Tip: Understanding the Yellow Bar Notification in Bloomz
by Kelly Lambeth, on Mar 17, 2025 2:09:10 PM
If you’ve noticed a yellow bar at the top of your Bloomz community dashboard that reads:
"Note: Currently your community is set to not show the new classes or send invites to imported members. Click here to reset the flag and make it visible."
You might be wondering what this means and how it affects your setup. Let’s break it down!
What Does This Message Mean?
This notification appears when your Bloomz community has been configured to hide any new classes and prevent invites from automatically being sent to members who were added through integration. This setting is typically in place to allow administrators time to review and finalize their setup before parents and teachers see the new classes.
Why Is This Useful?
- Prevents confusion: If your school is still organizing class lists, hiding new classes ensures that parents and teachers don’t see incomplete or incorrect assignments.
- Gives admins control: This setting lets you manually review and adjust your community before making it visible to members.
- Avoids premature notifications: If you’re making bulk updates, you may not want invites sent out until everything is finalized.
What Happens If You Click the Reset Link?
By clicking "Click here to reset the flag and make it visible," you are:
✅ Making all newly imported classes visible to teachers and parents.
✅ Allowing Bloomz to send out invites to any members who were added through the import.
When Should You Reset the Flag?
- When you’re ready for teachers and parents to access their classes
- After verifying that all class and member data is correct
- If invites were unintentionally blocked and need to be sent
What If You Don’t Click It?
If you don’t take action, the imported classes will remain hidden, and no invitations will be sent. This means families and staff won’t have access to their updated class assignments in Bloomz.
Final Thoughts
This yellow bar is simply a safeguard to help you manage your community rollout smoothly. If your classes are ready and finalized, go ahead and reset the flag! Otherwise, take your time to review and make adjustments before making things live.
