SamTastic Weekly Tip: 3/2/26 - Find What You Are Looking for in TimeTrack

This week’s tip: Find what you are looking for in TimeTrack

SAMs know when the principal is available with the click of the Auto Select button. (Circled in GREEN)

A list of open times for the current week immediately appears with links for easy scheduling.

Another TimeTrack button allows you to locate any item regardless of the entry date.  You need to contact the state Title II director you met with last August concerning summer school?  Who from the district attended?  Perhaps you need the agenda from the staff meeting last December on the new reading program?  What was the name of the presenter?  You can use the search function in TimeTrack by using any key word or phrase.  It is the magnifying glass icon to the right of the leader’s name. Enter a key word or phrase and TimeTrack will immediately display each time it appears—going back in time.  Clicking the eye icon will take you to the event.  If there is a mail icon, it means you sent a related email.  Click the icon to retrieve the message.

Would you like to narrow your search? Would you like to be more specific?  You can select search areas in TimeTrack by clicking the inverted pyramid. Then, select the area of TimeTrack you wish to search.  Of course, access to NoteTrack is limited to the TimeTrack owner.

The Event Note/Additions box makes the search feature even more valuable.  Many users report that entering notes or links for meeting agendas, websites and minutes makes their work easier.  Being able to easily find this information weeks, months or even years later is invaluable. Each link entered is active.  The user can click on the link for immediate access.

Your Time Change Coach will schedule the annual SAM Team Performance Rubric Assessment meeting with you soon.  This annual review is held during one SAM Daily Meeting in April and May. The session provides a time for reflection, goal setting, and celebration.

Consider budgeting for the 20^th Annual National SAM Conference, too.  The conference provides an opportunity to learn from SAM teams across the US and an amazing array of national and international speakers, authors and thought leaders in leadership, education, and psychology.
