Sec. 2, View Behavior Data

The main screen of the Behavior program displays two tabs (information screens) of read-only data: 'Incidents' and 'Penalties'. Entries in the 'Incidents' information screen can be sorted.

2.1 View / Sort Incidents

2.1.1 View 'Incidents' summary list.
From the main Behavior History screen of the selected student, click on the 'Incidents' tab to bring it to the front. All behavior incidents referenced by the selected student will be listed in summary form (Fig. 4). These are called "originating" incidents. Involvement records derived from each originating incident listed can be viewed in the edit mode (See Step 2.1.4).

2.1.2 Sort 'Incidents' summary list, Method #1.
The default sorting order of the incidents in the summary list is in ascending order by the Date field, indicated by the small gray UP arrow in the column header of the Date field (Fig. 5).

Incidents in the list can be resorted in ascending or descending order by Date, Type, Action, or Alert as follows:


• Open the Sort menu (Fig. 6) by using the mouse or by pressing ALT+S on the keyboard. A check mark will be displayed next to the current sort field. Select the field to sort on in the upper portion of the menu by using the arrow keys to highlight the field name and then pressing Enter or by selecting the field name with the mouse button and releasing. The Sort menu will automatically close after a selection is completed.
• Open the Sort menu again. The field that was selected to sort on will now have a check mark beside it. Now select Ascending or Descending using the same method as above. The Sort menu will close and the Incidents list will now be resorted according to the parameters selected.

2.1.3 Sort summary list, Method #2 (shortcut)
Click on the column heading of the field to sort on. The list will automatically sort itself on the target field in the reverse of its current sort order, i.e., if the list was in ascending order by the target field, the mouse click will cause the list to be sorted in descending order by the target field and visa versa.

Sort order indicators - The current sort field will be flagged by a small gray arrow in the column header; an UP arrow for ascending (Fig. 7) or a DOWN arrow for descending (Fig. 8). Fig. 7 - ascending order Fig. 8 - descending order

2.1.4 View involvement record data
The 'Incident' summary list on the main screen only shows a few fields of essential data per incident. More details on each incident can be viewed as follows:

• Activate the first-level edit mode

Click on the Edit command button (or ALT+E on the keyboard) to open information screens for the selected incident (Fig. 10).
• Select a tab to view

The first-level edit mode of an incident displays four sub screens (sub tabs) of data: 'Incident' (Fig. 10), 'Involvement' (Fig. 11), 'Penalties' (Fig. 12), and 'Policies' (Fig. 13). The total of all the data in the four screens is called an involvement record. The focus will default to the 'Involvement' sub screen. Select a sub screen to view by clicking on the tab's title.

The 'Incident' sub screen displays universal data about the originating incident in read-only mode. This type of data is stored in the Behavior Incidents master list table (see Sec. 3) and cannot be edited in this screen.
