Bonuses and Flags: This is your Bizi landing page. While teachers use this space daily for their individual classes, your view is school-wide. You can step in to award bonuses or issue flags for any student at any time. At the top of the page, you'll find three tabs:

• Classes: All teachers with class rosters are listed here. Click any teacher to view their class list, then click again to view the full roster. From there, select any student, multiple students, or the entire class to send a Bonus or Flag.

• School Groups: Create, view, and share school-wide groups using students from any class. Groups can be shared with individual staff members or the whole school.

• Recent Activity: Review bonuses and flags you’ve sent recently, with the ability to edit or remove your entries.

Quick Send: Need to take quick action? Use the Quick Send button to issue a bonus or flag to any student in your school.

Store: The Store is where students shop using their BiziBucks. As an admin, you have full control over the School Store — add new items, adjust inventory, and edit listings as needed to keep things current.

• Class Store: Teachers also have access to their own Class Store, where they list items for students in their classes. Teachers manage their own inventory and handle distribution directly.
  ‍

Orders: View all orders placed by students across your school in one place. From here you can:

• Filter orders by class, student, teacher, store date, or search by Name.
• Export the order list for an upcoming store date.
• Update order statuses by selecting the order and using the button in the top right corner to mark as Redeemed, Packaged, or Refunded.

Keeping orders up to date ensures students always know where their order stands.
‍

Reports: Reports give you a real-time picture of how students and teachers are doing across your school. Access data on total BiziBucks earned, usage rates, attendance, behavior, academic grade averages, purchase activity, and bonus and flag statistics. Use Reports regularly to spot trends, celebrate engaged teachers, and identify students who may benefit from extra encouragement.
‍

Calendar: Stay on top of important dates. Order cutoffs, store days, and academic pay days are all here so you're never caught off guard.
‍

Account Menu (your initials): Access the Admin Toolbox, Teacher Toolbox, the "How to Earn" guide, Contact Us, Settings, Terms and Policies, or log out.
‍

Settings Menu

Your school's settings were configured during onboarding, but things change, and Bizi makes it easy to adjust on the fly. Use the Settings menu to keep your Bonus and Flag categories, Store schedule, and staff permissions aligned with how your school actually operates. Access Settings anytime through your Account Menu.
‍

Bonus and Flag Settings: Choose from existing Bonus and Flag categories or create your own custom categories that reflect your school's values and expectations. Custom categories are available to all staff when awarding bonuses or flags to students.

• Power Bonuses: Create Power Bonuses to increase the BiziBuck value of a specific bonus category. Useful for highlighting your school's most important core values or running special recognition campaigns.
  ‍

Store Settings: Edit or delete store cutoff dates and store days as your school's schedule changes throughout the year. Keeping these dates accurate ensures students always see the correct estimated arrival date when placing an order.
‍

Staff Permissions: Assign different levels of access to staff members based on their role at your school. Hover over the "i" next to each permission level to see exactly what it allows before making changes.

There are four ways students earn:

1. Attendance: Students earn for arriving on time. Deposits happen automatically, daily, and differ based on grade level.

• Elementary School Students: 20 BiziBucks per day
• Middle School Students: 3 BiziBucks per period
• High School Students: 5 BiziBucks per period

*Note: These values represent the majority of schools; actual BiziBucks earned for attendance may vary. Check the How to Earn page in your Account Menu for specific values for your school. 

‍

2. Behavior: Students earn for a flag-free day or period. When students stay flag-free, they receive an automated deposit. Any staff member can issue a flag for negative behavior. One flag blocks the behavior deposit for that day (elementary) or that class period (middle and high school). For most school setups, behavior deposit values are equivalent to the attendance values listed above.

‍

3. Academics: Students earn based on their current grade in each class. Academic deposits work like a paycheck, processed every two weeks:

• 25 BiziBucks per A or E
• 20 BiziBucks per B or S
• 15 BiziBucks per C

*Note: These values represent the majority of schools; actual BiziBucks earned for attendance may vary. Check the How to Earn page in your Account Menu for specific values for your school.

‍

4. Bonuses: This is where you make the biggest difference. Bonuses are Bizi's way of recognizing students who go above and beyond, and you're the one who makes that happen. Any staff member can award a bonus on the spot for demonstrating core values. Bonuses are worth 5 BiziBucks each, can be issued daily, and there's no limit on how many a student can receive.

*Note: Bonus values may be changed by your school. Check the How to Earn page in your Account Menu for specific values for your school.

As an administrator, you can award bonuses and issue flags just like any teacher, but your reach is school-wide. Whether you're walking the halls, covering a class, or recognizing a student at a school event, Bizi gives you the ability to act on the spot. Bonuses or flags take less than 30 seconds to send, can be done by your computer or phone, and can be edited or removed.
‍

How to give a Bonus or Flag

There are two ways to send a bonus or flag, depending on your situation.

‍

Option 1: Quick Send

Quick Send is ideal when you want to recognize or flag a student outside of a normal class roster, like in the hallway, at lunch, or during a school-wide event.

‍

1. Click the Quick Send button on your landing page.

2. Choose Send Bonus or Send Flag.

3. Search for any student in the school.

4. Select the appropriate category.

5. Add a comment (optional but encouraged).

6. Click Send.

‍

Option 2: Class Roster

If you're stepping into a specific classroom or want to send a Bonus or Flag on behalf of a teacher, you can navigate directly to their class roster.

‍

1. Select a teacher from your landing page, then select their class.

2. Click on one student or select multiple students.

3. Choose Send Bonus or Send Flag.

4. Select the appropriate category.

5. Add a comment (optional but encouraged).

6. Click Send.
‍

Tip: To send to an entire class at once, click Select All in the top right before choosing your action. Great for whole-class recognition moments.

‍

How to create a custom Bonuses or Flag

Custom categories allow you to create a bonus or flag for personal use. To create one, click Quick Send, then select Add Bonus or Add Flag at the bottom of the category list. Type your new category name and click Save. This bonus or flag will be available only to you.
‍

*Note: You can manage school-wide Bonus and Flag categories in bulk from your Settings menu, which gives you additional control over what categories are available to all staff members.

‍

How to remove or edit a Bonus or Flag

Need to correct a mistake or remove something issued in error? Everything issued by you in the past two weeks is available in Recent Activity on your landing page.

‍

1. Go to Recent Activity on your Bizi landing page.

2. Find the student whose bonus or flag you want to change.

3. Select Edit.

4. From here, you can update the category, revise the comment, or remove the bonus or flag entirely.

5. Click Update to save your changes.
‍

*Note: Recent Activity shows the past two weeks of your issued bonuses and flags. For older activity, use the Reports section.

‍

You're in the best position to set the tone; every bonus you award and every flag you issue sends a message to your staff and students about what your school values.

‍

What does onboarding look like for our school?

Before launch, your school will meet with the Bizi onboarding team to configure the platform specific to your school. That includes setting up your Bonus and Flag categories, building out the School Store with your chosen rewards, aligning on store logistics and order fulfillment processes, and planning your faculty onboarding. The goal is to make sure your team is set up with the right structure and the right mindset before the first student logs in.

‍

How do I adjust staff permissions?

Go to your Account Menu, select Settings, then Permissions. Each staff member can be assigned one or more of the following permission Levels.

‍

• Admin — Full access to all platform settings, including the ability to manage user permissions and system-wide configurations.

• Store Manager — Can add items to the School Store, update inventory, and manage student orders.

• Assistant Store Manager — Can view, redeem, and refund student orders but cannot add or edit store items.

• School-wide Reports — Can view and download the school dashboard, faculty usage reports, and all student reports.

‍

How do I remove or edit a bonus or flag I sent?

Go to Recent Activity tab on your landing page. Find the student and click Edit. From there, you can update the category, revise the comment, or remove it entirely.

‍

How do I know which teachers are actively using Bizi?

Go to Reports and click the Usage tab. You will see a list of every teacher along with their bonus count, flag count, date last used, and whether they have set up their own Store. This is one of the most useful views for identifying which staff members may need additional encouragement or support. For a school-wide summary, click the School tab and look at the teacher usage rate. Use the date range filter to narrow down to a specific pay period or time frame.

‍

Can I see individual student data, not just school-wide trends?

Yes. The Reports section gives you access to both school-wide data on the School tab and individual student records on the Student tab. You can view BiziBucks earned, attendance, behavior, academic grade averages, bonus and flag history, and purchase activity at the student level. Filter by class, grade level, teacher, or date range to get the view you need.

‍

Can I restrict teachers from creating their own bonus or flag categories?

Yes. Go to your Account Menu, select Settings, and open Advanced Settings. From there, toggle off "Teachers and staff can create a bonus or flag type." Once disabled, teachers will only be able to use the categories you have set up at the school level.

‍

What if a teacher adds something inappropriate to their Class Store?

Every item added to a Bizi Store is reviewed and approved by a Bizi team member before it goes live. Anything inappropriate is flagged and removed immediately, and the teacher receives a follow-up email. While you do not need to monitor store submissions manually, you can review the items added to any store on the Usage tab on the Reports page.

‍

How do I create or update school-wide bonus and flag categories?

Go to your Account Menu and select Settings. Under Bonus and Flag Settings, you can choose from existing categories or create custom ones that reflect your school's values and expectations. Custom categories are available to all staff immediately. You can also create Power Bonuses here to increase the BiziBuck value of a specific category, useful for highlighting core values or running special recognition campaigns.

‍

How do I update store days or order cutoff dates?

Go to your Account Menu, select Settings, and click the Store tab. From there, you can edit existing store dates, update order cutoff dates, or remove a store date entirely. Keeping these dates accurate is important; students see estimated arrival dates when they place orders, and those dates pull directly from your store schedule.

‍

Who do I contact if I have a question or issue I cannot resolve?

Go to your Account Menu, click Contact Us, and send us a message. You can also access the Admin Toolbox and Teacher Toolbox anytime from your Account Menu for additional resources and guides.
