The Detention Tracker collects detention resolutions assigned on the student's Behavior Tab or the Management Tool and allows users to manage detentions as they are served. This article describes how to enter detention served information for groups or individual students.
To appear in the detention tracker, the Behavior Resolution assigned to a student must have a subtype of "detention" set for the Resolution Type. The Detention Tracker is used to record detention served, not to enter new detention requirements. That is done on the student's Behavior tool or the Management Tool.
Detention Tracker
Changes made in the Detention Tracker are saved automatically when the user clicks or tabs away from a field. The time the last save occurred appears in the top right corner of the editor. Users can navigate away from the detention tracker without submitting the information and return to the Detention Tracker. Information will not be truly recorded, and student Behavior tabs updated, until Submit is selected.

Records for detention served can be entered for all students in the list at once.
