What is Referred Incidents setup?

The Referred Incidents notification setup area allows you to create automatic notifications for specific staff about Referred Incidents involving particular behaviour reasons.

When a Referred Incident notification is triggered, receiving staff are notified via the web browser notifications area, the Satchel One mobile app, and/or email - depending on which options are selected when setting up the notification.

To access the Referred Incidents notification setup area, navigate to Tools > Apps > Behaviour > Referred Incidents.

🔒 The actions within this section are controlled by the Referred Incident notification setup permission

View Referred Incident notifications

In the Referred Incidents notification setup area, any existing Referred Incident notifications are listed in table format.

For each existing notification, you’ll see a summary of the Behaviour reasons which trigger it, groups of staff who receive it (group memberships), and any individual members of staff who receive it.

Under Actions on the right-hand side, click View to see the notification in more detail, or click the dustbin icon to delete it. If you click View, you’ll be able to edit the notification on the next screen.

Create Referred Incident notifications

In the Referred Incidents notification setup area, click ‘Create’ on the top right-hand side to create a new trigger.

On the next screen, you’ll see a form containing three boxes - ‘Details’, ‘Notify group members’ and ‘Notify staff’.

Here are the options included within each box:

Details

  • Name - Type the name of your Referred Incident notification.

  • Behaviour reasons - From the dropdown menu, select the Behaviour reasons. When a Referred Incident is created using any of these reasons, it will automatically trigger a notification for the staff selected. You can select multiple reasons.

Notify group members

  • Role - Select the group membership (e.g. Head of Year) which should be automatically notified when a Referred Incident of this type is created. All staff within this group membership will be notified.

  • Notification type - Select how staff in this group membership should be notified - Web, Mobile or Email. You can select more than one option.

Click ‘Done’ to add this group membership to your Referred Incident notification.

📝 Please note: Group memberships are not the same as Roles. If Satchel One is syncing data from your school’s MIS via Groupcall XoD or Wonde, group memberships may be imported (assuming MIS compatibility). Otherwise, we can create group memberships on your behalf directly in Satchel One. Please ask for details.

Notify staff

  • Staff - Select the individual member(s) of staff who should be notified when a new Referred Incident is created using the linked behaviour reasons.

  • Assign staff to referred incident - If this box is ticked, the selected staff will be automatically assigned as the owner of the Referred Incident upon its creation. However, you may wish to leave this box unticked, so that staff are notified about the incident (Web, Mobile or Email) but not assigned as the owner.

  • Notification type - Select how staff member(s) should be notified - Web, Mobile or Email. You can select more than one option.

Click Done to add these staff member(s) to your Referred Incident notification.

Once you’ve added all the required information in each box, click ‘Save’ at the bottom to create your Referred Incident notification.

Edit Referred Incident notifications

FAQ

Question

Answer

Can I add multiple group memberships and/or individual members of staff to a Referred Incident notification?

Yes, you can. This needs to be done one at a time, because you might want different staff to be notified in different ways.
