The topics below describe the types of penalty reports you can generate and explain the steps used to generate them.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Penalty Report Types
You can generate two types of penalty reports: a penalty list report and a penalty list with details report.
A penalty list report contains students with a specific type and amount of penalty incurred within a selected date range. The penalty list report includes each student’s ID number, name, amount of outstanding or total penalty, and up to three fields of selected data base information.
A penalty list with details report contains the same information as a penalty list report but also contains incident details, such as the incident date, infraction, assigned action, and penalty amount for each infraction. You can also include the incident reference number automatically assigned to each incident. (See Generate a Penalty Report.)
