Setting Up Aspen to Manage Conduct Incidents

With the appropriate user role used to grant or restrict access to a group of users (such as teachers or nurses) to different areas and functions in Aspen privileges, conduct incidents can be entered and viewed from most views with the Student tab. Usually staff members enter the incidents into Aspen from the Staff view, and managers and system administrators manage them from the District or School view.

To set up Aspen to manage conduct-related activities to meet your district, school, and state reporting needs, you need to:

• Define conduct preferences.
• Assign security roles for conduct-related activities.
• Customize a conduct template to help meet your state's reporting requirements.
• Create conduct reference codes.
• Link conduct action reference codes to student daily attendance codes.
• Use Conduct Referral workflows.
• Instruct users involved in entering conduct incidents to enable the Tasks widget on their Homepage the first page you see after logging on to Aspen. They must have the Tasks widget set to appear on their Home page in order to submit a conduct incident.
