This event entity represents an occurrence of an infraction ranging from a minor behavioral problem that disrupts the orderly functioning of a school or classroom (such as tardiness) to a criminal act that results in the involvement of a law enforcement official (such as robbery). A single event (e.g., a fight) is one incident regardless of how many perpetrators or victims are involved. Discipline incidents are events classified as warranting discipline action.

Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	Reports a behavior incident when the incident's Status is marked and saved as "Complete". Incident must have at least 1 behavior event associated that is mapped to a State Event code and Role with an Ed-Fi Code value. Posting can occur if a new event is added after Incident is marked as "Complete". Do not send if the student's enrollment is marked as No Show or State Exclude. Do not send if the student is in a calendar marked as Exclude. Do not send if the student's enrollment is in a school marked as Exclude. Do not send if the student's enrollment is in a calendar marked as Summer School.
Put	When data that is not part of the Natural Key is changed. If the student's role is changed. If the Event Type is changed and saved.
Delete/Post	When the Incident's status is changed. Delete when the status is changed from Completed to In Progress. Post when the status is changed from In Progress to Completed.
Delete	When an event is deleted.
Delete	When all non-excluded enrollments in the school and year are deleted.

School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.

Action	Trigger
None	If a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
Resync	If a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
Resync	If a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
Resync	If a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.

Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post/Delete	Natural Key changes: If an Ed-Fi ID changes, this will happen with the cascading deletes from the Ed-Fi ID Change trigger.
Delete/Post	If the Incident is deleted all dependent resources will delete.
Dependent Resources	Discipline Action (Note: When a user deletes Student Discipline Incident Associations using the Delete Tool, the associated Discipline Actions are also deleted when Discipline Actions are auto selected because of the dependency. The user would need to resync the Discipline Actions after this type of delete.)

Natural Key changes:

If an Ed-Fi ID changes, this will happen with the cascading deletes from the Ed-Fi ID Change trigger.

If the Incident is deleted all dependent resources will delete.

(Note: When a user deletes Student Discipline Incident Associations using the Delete Tool, the associated Discipline Actions are also deleted when Discipline Actions are auto selected because of the dependency.

The user would need to resync the Discipline Actions after this type of delete.)

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic
Discipline records will only send to the school year that the incident date is aligned to based on the School Year Start and End dates. If School Year Start Date is NULL, 7/1/xxxx will be the default start date used. If School Year End Date is NULL, 6/30/xxxx will be the default end date used. Data will only send for the years that have valid configuration.
