Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to set up Categories before Conduct?

Conduct reasons must be linked to a category level. If no categories exist, the system has nothing to link the conduct item to. Set up My School > Code of Conduct > Categories first.

What point value should I use for a violation versus a recognition?

Violations must use negative numbers (e.g., -5) and recognitions must use positive numbers (e.g., 5). The sign determines whether the system deducts or awards points to the learner.

Can I delete a conduct reason that has already been used?

The system will display how many times the conduct reason has been used in the confirmation message. Deletion is permanent and irreversible, so exercise caution with reasons that have been applied to learner records.
