The Detention Tracker collects detention resolutions assigned on the student's Behavior Tab or the Management Tool and allows users to manage detentions as they are served. This article describes how to enter detention served information for groups or individual students.

To appear in the detention tracker, the Behavior Resolution assigned to a student must have a subtype of "detention" set for the Resolution Type. The Detention Tracker is used to record detention served, not to enter new detention requirements. That is done on the student's Behavior tool or the Management Tool.

Detention Tracker

Changes made in the Detention Tracker are saved automatically when the user clicks or tabs away from a field. The time the last save occurred appears in the top right corner of the editor. Users can navigate away from the detention tracker without submitting the information and return to the Detention Tracker. Information will not be truly recorded, and student Behavior tabs updated, until Submit is selected.

Once a detention record has been submitted, the record for detention served can only be modified in the Detention section of the student's individual detention tab.

Enter Detention for a Group of Students

Records for detention served can be entered for all students in the list at once.

  1. Mark Present in the Detention Tracker Editor to automatically mark 'Present' for all students in the list. To remove students from the mass update, unmark the Present checkbox for those students.
  2. Enter a Date Served in mmddyyyy format or by clicking the calendar icon and selecting a date. This field defaults to the current date.
  3. Enter Start and End Time for the detention served record. If any of the students who have Present marked already have Start or End Times entered, the editor will not overwrite those fields and will insert values for any empty fields.
  4. Click Fill Empty to update all students who have the Present checkbox marked. The Detention Tracker record fields below will be updated to reflect the change. The record is not fully submitted until the Submit button is selected, which will refresh the Detention Tracker screen.

Enter Detention for Individual Students

Records for detention served can be entered for individuals using the Detention Tracker Editor by leaving only one student's name marked as Present.

  1. Mark the Present checkbox for the student who is serving detention. Once this checkbox is marked, Time and Comment fields will become editable.
  2. Enter a Start Time in standard or military time.
  3. Enter an End Time in standard or military time.
  4. Upon clicking or tabbing away from the Time fields, Hours Service and Remaining Hours will update automatically.
  5. Enter any Comments to be attached to the record.
  6. Changes to the record will be saved automatically. Select Submit to validate and save changes and update the student's Behavior tab.
