Satchel One admin users can create, edit and delete Detention Types and Detention Reasons on behalf of the whole school.
If your school has our Behaviour app enabled, then the negative behaviour reasons will be copied into the Detention Reasons section; there's no need to create them separately.
Managing Detention Types
Detentions with MIS Writeback
If your school is using Detentions with MIS Writeback, then Detention Types are automatically imported from your MIS; you cannot create, edit or delete them within Satchel One. Please make any changes to Detention Types in your MIS and wait for the next automatic sync to see these changes reflected in Satchel One.
In order for a Detention Type to be imported from your MIS, it must contain a start date and a start time; all other details can be populated manually by the member of staff setting this detention in Satchel One.
Detentions without MIS Writeback
If your school is using Detentions without MIS Writeback, then Detention Types can be managed directly within Satchel One.
Go to Admin > Detentions > Detention types to create, edit or delete Detention Types.
When creating / editing a Detention Type, the Name is a mandatory field; however, the rest of the form is optional.
If you would like to standardise any of these fields, then enter the relevant information in the appropriate boxes. When a member of staff sets this type of detention, they won't be able to amend these fields.
Here are the options you can standardise on your Detention Type:
Duration
Location
Assign Staff - Allows you to assign a supervisor for this Detention Type.
Repeat Event - Options include Daily, Weekly, Every two weeks or Once a month. You can select the day(s) of the week when this Detention Type is due to take place, as well as the Start time / End time.
Requires Notice - A member of staff setting this Detention Type will have to give the student the minimum required notice selected here.
Notes - Limited to 200 characters.
When you have finished creating your Detention Type, click Create to save it. If you need to amend or delete it later on, use the dustbin or pencil icon at the bottom of the card.
💡Top tip: Once you have added a frequency and day of the week to your Detention Type, staff will be unable to set detentions on the wrong day.
Add and Manage Detention Reasons
To create, edit or delete detention reasons, go to Admin > Detentions > Detention Reasons.
If your school has our Behaviour app enabled, your negative Behaviour reasons will copy across to the Detention Reasons section.
This applies for schools using Behaviour with and without MIS Writeback.
💡 Please note: If your school has our Timetables app enabled, students and parents using a web browser will see their detentions in the Timetable area. Whereas students and parents using the Satchel One mobile app will see a dedicated Detentions area.
Detentions Report
If you need to access school-wide Detentions information, click Reports and then select Detentions Report.
