To set up the detentions manager for pupil and parent accounts, click on the three lines menu in the top right hand corner of Class Charts and select Schools Settings from the list of available options.

Next, click on Pupils and Parents on the left hand side.

You will be presented with a list of permission settings pertaining to pupil and parent accounts. These include the detention module related settings. Click on the setting labelled Show detention manager to pupils & parents and select an option from its drop down menu.

The available options are explained below:

Enabled: Selecting this option will will display the detentions manager through both the pupil and parent accounts.

Disabled: Selecting this option will disable the detentions manager for both pupil and parent accounts.

Pupils only: Selecting this option will display the detentions manager through pupil accounts only.

Once the detentions manager has been enabled for an account type, an additional option labelled Detentions will appear along the top of the page.

Here, pupils and parents will be able to track incoming and previous detentions, with a legend that describes each detention’s status: Pending, Attended, Not attended, or Upscaled.
