No log entries
Hello, I've installed the log entries report. the non-discipline report works great and shows the log entries. The discipline log entries summary does not show any data. Thoughts?
thank you!

Discipline Log Entries
The Discipline Log Entries Summary report has been hard coded to display only log entries that were created using the log type "Discipline". This is the default log type included in PowerSchool. All other log types are excluded from this report.
The Log Entries Summary (Non Discpline) report will display all log type entries other than "Discipline".

Thank you, I understand. The Discipline Log entries report is not showing data and we have many Discipline log entries. The Non Discipline is working correctly but I am not getting any data from the Discipline log entries report.

could be bad data
I've seen something like that happen with other discipline log reports and it usually has to do with bad data in the log table, especially dates. For example, one user may have entered Aug 1, 2018, in one of the date fields vs 8/1/2018 or whatever format is allowed. Some of the date entry points are actually text fields and will allow bad date, and then the report won't work because it runs into the date formatting issue. The only way to know for sure is to export the data from your Log table and check over the data the report is looking at - look for bad dates or things such as spaces before or after a date.
You can also check the system logs area of PS and look for ORA- errors if the report is using tlist_sql to output the results. Any ORA-, which are Oracle errors, will get logged and you can sometimes tell from them what the issue may be.

bad dates
Thanks Matt, I did an export and the dates look good. I can't see any Oracle errors in the system logs. Any other ideas?

bad dates reply
Make sure you're checking dates for all the discipline records in the log table and not just ones within a certain date range. Might not be a bad idea to export other pieces of data that the report is suppose to return to see if there's anything that could be an issue. For example, if the report is suppose to export the log entry text part, there could be something in a record, such as a special character, causing an issue.
Otherwise, if you're familiar with tlist_sql, you could modify the sql in the report to see if you get data with a barebones where statement and then add more criteria from the original where back in to see if something breaks it.

I ran into the same issue that non-discipline logs showed fine but discipline logs did not show up. I was wondering if you have solved it.

No Discipline Logs
I have the same issue...can see everything but Discipline Logs...I have other log reports but I liked the "link" to the log. We use a date picker so I don't think it's the date. So is it set to pull log type #(-100000) for Discipline?

No logs
None of my schools are able to use this report. Because VA has a ton of its own state fields, we have chosen to hide many of these fields, so they are not filled in any more. The only field that I would need to trigger the record would be the LogType of Discipline. I'm not sure if you have it set to look at other fields, too.

No Logs Reply
The Discipline Log Entries Summary report will only display discipline log entries (log type #(-100000).
The Log Entries Summary (Non Discipline) report provides a menu of other available log types. You will only see log types that have been marked as accessible for your security group. The report will display log entries for the selected non-discipline log type.

PSCB - Custom Reports (Logs) - Export PDF
Due to the large number of columns and data being displayed on the results page, the Export PDF File button does not always format the PDF document correctly. In that case, you should use the Copy Data or Export CSV File buttons.
Another option you can try:
Select Print from the Browser Options Menu
Change the Orientation to Landscape
Change the Scale, if necessary to fit the page.
Then choose Print or Print to PDF
Note: The Export PDF File button will be removed from this report in the next release of the plugin.

Log Entries reports spelled Incorrectly
FYI-The title of the report is spelled wrong!
It says "Disciple Log Entries Summary" on the report when you want to run the report and on the list of reports the "Log Entries Summary (Non Discipline)" report has it miss spelled as "log Entries Summary (Non Discpline)
Also: if we select "All Incident Sub-Types" should it pull even if our log entry doesn't have a Incident Sub Type populated?

The typo has been corrected. You can download and re-install the plugin.
The report will return discipline log records even if the entry does not include a sub-type.

"Disciple Log Entries Summary
"Disciple Log Entries Summary" is still listed as the header, when Discipline Log Entries Summary report is selected, and I re-downloaded the v1.1 plugin to update today, to confirm.

Sorting
Hi
Wondering if there is any way to sort these reports, eg by student name; otherwise we end up with several logs related to one student spread through the report.
Absolutely love the report though!

You need to install the PSCB - Base Resources v2.4 plugin which is required for all PSCB customizations.
This plugin will provide sorting and filtering for all columns in the reports.

Discipline Log Entries - View Entry - Opens incorrect student
Having a bit of a weird issue with the Discipline Log Entries Summary report. When clicking "View" for Entry Details - the log entry opens, however the student it opens for is the incorrect student. However, when clicking the student's name - the log entry for the student opens as expected.

We are having the same issue,
We are having the same issue, if you have viewed a student previously that student stays in the cache for the wc:title_student_end_css
edit out* and we are seeing the wrong data from another student being pulled into Customlogentrydetails.html. *
I just took out the view link column and telling staff to click on the students name.
Correction. Another team member had changed the tlist so it was pulling student dcid instead of log dcid. The wrong student in the page was our error not PSCB.

Custom Insertion Point?
Gentlemen,
Thank you for including custom insertion points to some of the pages so that additional reports can be added to various categories. For example, in the pscb_misc.html page, a custom insertion point is present at the bottom:
~[cust.insertion_point:pscb.misc]
~[wc:admin_footer_css]
It has allowed me to create a page that references that insertion point to add in new reports as I create them. The page I created in this case is named pscb_misc_morereports.pscb.misc.txt and it contains a simple table of reports that I have created that become listed underneath your "stock" reports.
In your pscb_logs.html page, I don't see a custom insertion point that allows me to do the same thing for log reports as I did for miscellaneous reports. I went ahead and put one in on that page, as you see it below. I named it as you probably would have: ~[cust.insertion_point:pscb.logs]
~[cust.insertion_point:pscb.logs]
~[wc:admin_footer_css]
Of course, if and when this plugin gets updated and I go to that new version, this insertion point will disappear in that page. Any chance you could pop it into the pscb_logs.html page as I did above so that we can enjoy the wonders of listing our custom log reports in amongst the stock ones?
Thanks so much!

Log entries summary
Good morning,
When we run our log entries summary report for various sub types it reports that there is 1 record but no student date populates in the report. When I searched the database these sub-types were never used but it shows Records: 1 in the report.
Any thoughts?

Blank page after clicking View on Discipline summary
I became aware that we seemed to be having issues with the wrong student displaying when clicking the view link, but as stated above the correct info displayed when clicking on the student's name. To confuse matters more, the incorrect student that was displaying initially actually had a log entry but it was not displaying on the summary page. We were already on version 1.1, though. After updating to 1.2, clicking the view link now displays a blank page with just a 'Close' button. Thinking it may be a caching issue I went ahead and installed Firefox just to verify and had the same results. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin with no luck. We are hosted and got updated to version 21.4.5 over the weekend, though with these being custom pages rather than customizations to existing pages I wouldn't think there would be any issue with them. Is there any way for us to download 1.1 so I can get that reinstalled on our server to at least restore partial functionality?

Reporting on/by sub-types
It would be very helpful to be able to filter by sub-type either as a "Report Filter" or via the column "filtering" (need to add sub-type column). Also, for a log with a sub-type, the sub-type appears blank on the "Log Details" popup window.

Action and Incident Type columns are both blank
For the Discipline Log Entries Summary report, there are no items available in the dropdowns for Action and Incident Type and nothing appears in the columns.
They are set to be a drop-down in the log setup. Is that the problem?
