Is there a plan to upgrade this so we can filter by Grade level and export the incidents with type, data, student, etc or create a parameter to allow for a selection of students?

I have administrators who want to be able to look at a selection of students and run this report.

Which of the Incident reports are you referring to in this request?

Wondering about the possibility of having the 'Incident Search' report be able to add current selection.

Thanks for all you do!!!

We are currently exploring ways for adding a "Make Current Student Selection" option to the report.

When running the Incident Count By Code (Demographics Breakout) all Ethnicity values are 0.
Is there a way to may this work to show with the new Ethnicity codes?

PSCB

Tue, 02/04/2020 - 2:26pm

The report uses the Scheduling Ethnicity field. You will need to populate that field if you want to see ethnicity totals.

An update using Federal Ethnicity codes has been added to the PSCB enhancement list.

The report for Incident Count By Code (Demographics Breakout) doesn't report any breakdown for ethnicity. Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix for this issue?

This report uses the Scheduling Ethnicity field. Field Name: ethnicity.
Confirm that this field has been populated.

I've installed the incident reports and I can run them. Those in other roles can run the report, but they get no results for students who do have incidents. I tried modifying the export edit access in the user role to include all incident categories (Start Page > System Administrator > Roles Administration > User Access Roles > Edit User Access Role), but that did not work. I went into the group setup and the group tied to the role does have access to incidents. What am I missing?

With PowerSchool versions greater than 20.11.3 It seems that the Suspension List report is only looking at local suspensions. PA State reportable suspensions are not being pulled into the report. Since that is a valuable report to make sure any student that was suspended is being reported to the state it would be helpful to include state reportable suspensions in the report. Servers on 20.11.1 and prior pull the correct suspended students for Pennsylvania.

PSCB

Tue, 05/04/2021 - 6:16pm

If the suspensions are no longer appearing, this would indicate that state (PA) has moved the storing of this data to a different location (A new Database Extension and field names).

The PSCB Suspension report will not report suspensions stored in this new location.

When we run this report either for a single student or a group of students it just spins and never returns the data to the screen. Any ideas?

What exactly are these supposed to do? I run them and get no values. Thanks.

PSCB

This would indicate that you have not completed the Incident Management setup.

At the District Level - Navigate to Start Page > District Setup > Incident Management Setup

View and complete all Incident setups.

Virginia has recently begin to use the Incident Management module instead of the Log Entry page. We have 14 subcodes under an action called Disciplinary Sanction Code^, but only a handful like STS1^ (Short Term Suspension) are pulling on the list output. A team at Central Office is hoping to use this list to identify students that have been reported with expulsion (EX1 and EX2).

When I run the "Students Incidents Summary" report and click on the link for a particular incident I get the popup window "Incident Details". However, the incident Description box is always blank and does not display the full description. Also, it would be ideal to be able to print the incident detail info as I do not see a way to do so from the built-in Incident Mgmt functionality.

PSCB

Tue, 11/23/2021 - 5:43pm

If the description is blank on the popup window, this would indicate that the no description was entered when the incident was created.

Navigate to Student Incident page and determine whether a description was entered for the incident.

I confirmed that the incident has a full description, not the 1 line title that appears in the search/report results. The description field in the popup that appears when I click on the incident ID link remains blank

This issue will be addressed in the next release of the plugin scheduled for 1/20/22.

Thanks. Will it work like the other Incident reports with the right side popup of detailed info or will it bring up the actual incident in edit mode?

david.morales

Wed, 01/05/2022 - 10:06am

Also, another nice addition to the Incident Search report would be ability to customize the columns listed. One column that I've received requests for is the "Created by" / Author

PSCB

Sat, 01/22/2022 - 12:16pm

PSCB Development has no plans provide an option to customize the columns display on the report. "Created By" and "Author" were added in latest release. If you want add or remove fields you will need to use CPM to customize the SQL.

I understand the reports restrict access based on the Incident Type permissions set in group security, but we mostly use role security, not group. It would be helpful if they worked with role security as well.
Thank you

PSCB

Sat, 01/22/2022 - 12:17pm

PSCB will explore options for adding role security.

The incident reports include Log Type security by group. You can additional security by creating roles and assigning them to the group or individual user.

Role Security is the responsibility of PowerSchool administrator for the district.

We have updated versions of the base resources and the home page and version 1.1 for these incident reports. We are on PowerSchool 21.11.3, but the Student Incident Count report never loads. This report is perfect for what we need, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? I have checked the security/permissions and they are good. I can get to the report and adjust the filters and click submit, but then it just goes to "loading" and it never actually loads. We eventually get a "This site can't be reached" error page. Thanks for the help!

PSCB

Fri, 03/18/2022 - 4:12pm

Are you running the report at the school or district level?

At the district level the report will time out if you have a very large district enrollment.

Sorry I'm just seeing this reply.
I'm running the report at the school level. I tried it with the whole school enrollment (500ish students), then with one grade level at that school (150ish), then with a gender within one grade level (70ish) and finally with a group of 10 students. I got the same time-out issue in all instances.

cortniebroadus@...

Thu, 04/07/2022 - 12:38pm

Now it seems to be even worse and multiple reports won't generate at the school level. For instance, incident search and incident count reports are coming up that there are no records, but there are incidents at the school for sure. Thank you for any ideas/help.

cortniebroadus@...

Thu, 04/07/2022 - 12:46pm

So I just tested this. The reports run at one school, but won't at another. The school for which the reports do not run is good about entering all discipline events in incidents so they have 300+ incidents this year. I'm wondering if the report can't search that number of incidents? The school where the reports run just fine has less than a third of the incidents so far this year.

Hi Rob,
I figured out why the incident search would not load for the middle school. It looks like we had an incident with a description with 4,772 characters. Once I took the description for the incident out, the incident search report would work.
I'm still trying to figure out the Student Incident Count Report. Thank you for your help!

magerman

Tue, 04/26/2022 - 7:24pm

Could having 10 offenders in one incident cause the suspension list to never load? The report is not loading for one school so I am looking for incidents with a large number of characters and came across one incident with 10 offenders. thanks for anything you can tell me about this issue.

Hello -
We are having issues with the student incident summary report. It is populating for some students but not for others.
We have updated to the lasts PSCB versions thinking that might be the issue but the reports are still not working for all students.

Thank you

david.morales

Thu, 06/09/2022 - 2:32pm

Seeing the same behavior on the Student Incident Count report. Have a student with several incidents but both reports are returning "No records found". Maybe a recent PS upgrade has caused a problem?

lindatatro

That was our second guess.

PSCB

Fri, 06/10/2022 - 10:23am

PSCB is aware of the issues related to the incidents. We believe this occurred as a result of a recent PowerSchool upgrade. We are investigating the cause.
