+ | Snapshot > show hover over descriptions <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Cumulative Attendance=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Cumulative Attendance section shows a student's attendance as a line chart over the course of the academic year. This chart can be turned on for students in selected year groups using the following role option: <br> | ||
+ | Snapshot > Cumulative attendance <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | This chart is affected by the following preference, which determines whether or not PM marks are counted for the student: <br> | ||

+ | |||
+ | This role option will hide behaviour incidents issued prior to a certain date: <br> | ||
+ | ''Behaviour > Behaviour > Earliest'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following preference sets a validation period in days. During this period, behaviour incidents added will not be visible in Insight, including on the Cumulative Behaviour chart: <br> | ||
+ | ''Behaviour > The number of days taken to validate negative behaviour records'' <Br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the following role option is enabled then behaviour incidents with a points value of zero will be hidden from the chart: <br> | ||
+ | ''Behaviour > Hide zero point items'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Cumulative Achievements=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Cumulative Achievements chart will show a running total of the student's positive behaviour over the course of the academic year. This chart can be turned on or off using the following role option: <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Cumulative achievements '' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following preference will cause the chart to show no data: <br> | ||

+ | ''Behaviour > Hide zero point items'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Recent behaviours=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The recent behaviour panel will show the three most recent behaviour incidents for the student. These could be positive or negative. Positive incidents will be displayed if the [[Achievements]] role option is turned on and negatives will show if the [[Behaviours]] role option is turned on. <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Recent Behaviour panel will show the three most recent behaviour incidents for the student. These could be positive or negative. The Recent Behaviour panel can be turned off using the following '''[[role option]]''' which will also remove the [[#Behaviour Summary|Behaviour Summary]] section from the Snapshot page. <br> | ||
+ | General > Snapshot > Behaviour <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The panel can also be renamed using the following role option: <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Use this title'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Behaviour incidents will only be shown in the Recent Behaviours panel if they could also be shown on the '''[[Achievements]]''' or '''[[Behaviours]]''' pages in Insight. Therefore you can use the role options and preferences for Achievements and Behaviours to hide bheaviour incidents from the Recent Behaviours panel. <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a preference to hide behaviour menu items for students in selected year groups. This preference also applies to the Recent Behaviours panel: <br> | ||
+ | Behaviour > Hide behaviour menu items for the following years'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Detentions=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The detentions panel shows the three most recent detentions for the pupil. If any detentions are scheduled for the future they will take priority over detentions that have already passed. The '''[[role options|role option]]''' to enable this panel is found via: <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Detentions'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Detentions earlier than the date set here will not be shown: <br> | ||
+ | ''Behaviour > Detentions > Earliest'' <Br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Extra curricular=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Extra Curricular panel shows the three most recent extra classes for the pupil. If any extra classes are scheduled for the future they will take priority over extra classes that have already passed. The '''[[role options|role option]]''' to enable this panel is found via: <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Extra Curricular'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Detentions earlier than the date set here will not be shown: <br> | ||
+ | ''Attendance > Extra Curriculum > Earliest'' <Br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Recent reports=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The reports panel will display any documents that have been recently added. The documents are pulled from the Linked Documents section in SIMS. This panel is enabled using the following '''[[role option]]''': <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Recent reports'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Documents will only be displayed if the '''Last modified date''' from SIMS is within the number of days set in this '''[[role option]]''': <br> | ||
+ | ''General > Snapshot > Maximum age in days'' <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Documents will only be displayed on the Snapshot page if they are also displayed in the '''[[subjects]]''' section of Insight. See the Subjects page for a list of role options and settings that determine whether or not documents are displayed. <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===This Term's Attendance=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This Term's Attendance is chart which shows the student's attendance to each week at school. Attendance is shown week-by-week, so if a pupil is absent for a week their attendance will drop down to 0 on the graph, for that week.

+ | Snapshot > This term's attendance <br> <br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the first week of a new term, this chart will be blank. This is because Insight needs at least two data points before it can draw a line. You should have data showing from the second week of term onwards. <br> <br> | ||

+ | |||
+ | You can also add custom panels to the Snapshot page. Each custom item needs to be created as a html page and saved in the _Personalisation folder.

The snapshot page gives an overview of information about the student. Various pieces of information can be displayed or hidden on this page.
The following Role Option is needed to access the Snapshot page:
General > Snapshot (On)
The page is accessed via:
General > Snapshot
The page can be renamed with the following Role Option:
General > Snapshot > Alternative menu title
Notification bar
The bar at the top of the page will show coloured boxes if the pupil has any new notices or assignments, or has been invited to take part in any surveys. Each of the boxes can be clicked on; this opens an area below the box showing the new notices/assignments/surveys.
Notices
The notices box can be turned on or off using the following role option:
General > Snapshot > Notices
Clicking on the Notices section will either take the user to the Notices page, or expand the Notices box on the snapshot page to display up to 10 recent notices. This behaviour is determined by the following role option:
General > Snapshot > Notices > Jump directly to notices screen
Assignments
The Assignments box can be turned on or off using the following role option:
General > Snapshot > Assignments
Assignments created in Insight will always be shown (providing they meet the conditions below). Additionally assignments from either SIMS or PARS can be shown. If you are not a PARS user then SIMS homework will automatically be displayed. See the PARS page for information about displaying assignments from PARS.
Clicking on the Assignments section will either take the user to the Assignments page, or expand the Assignments box on the snapshot page to display up to 10 recent assignments. This behaviour is determined by the following role option:
General > Snapshot > Assignments > Jump directly to assignments screen
The following role options will determine whether certain Assignments are displayed or hidden in Insight:
General > Snapshot > Only show unfinished assignments | Assignments with a Status of Complete will be hidden |
General > Assignments > Earliest | Assignments created prior to this date will not be shown |
General > Assignments > Rolling archive in weeks | Assignments with a Due Date more than this number of weeks in the past will be hidden |
General > Assignments > Strip old open | Assignments with a Due Date in the past and with a Status of Pending will be hidden |
General > Assignments > Strip old complete | Assignments that are Complete will only be displayed if their Due Date is in the future |
General > Assignments > Strip future | Assignments which have an Issued Date in the future will be hidden |
General > Assignments > Include exceptions | Assignments with a Status of Exception will be displayed |
Surveys
The surveys box will appear if the user has been invited to take part in a survey. There is no role option to turn this off. Click on the name of a survey will open the surveys page.
The surveys box can be renamed with this role option:
Snapshot > Label surveys as
Unexplained Absences
The Unexplained Absences section will display automatically if the student has any N codes in their attendance, unless the following preference includes the student's year group:
Attendance > Hide the Report Absences menu item for the following years
Each date or date range where a student has N codes will be listed. Users can click on these date ranges to access the report absences page if the following role options are used:
Attendance > Report absences (On)
Attendance > Report absences > Allow reporting of historical absences (On)
Attendance > Report absences > Maximum age of absence in days (absences are not older than this many days)
It is possible to delay attendance data from being displayed in Insight. Delayed attendance data will not be counted in the Unexplained Absences box. The following preferences are used to enable the delay in Insight:
Attendance > Hide marks in attendance summaries in the validation range (On)
Attendance > The number of days taken to validate attendance marks for attendance summaries
Alerts
The alerts bar will appear beneath the Notifications bar. There are options (described below) to turn off specific parts of the Alerts section. Alternatively the following role option can be used to disable the entire Alerts section:
General > Snapshot > Alerts
The Alerts bar can show information about positive and negative behaviour, attendance and exclusions. The alerts boxes will be coloured green, yellow or red based on the pupil's number of behaviour points/attendance percentage/number of exclusions. The boundaries for these colours are set in SIMS via:
Tools > Setups > Student teacher view
These boundaries can be displayed or hidden using the following role options:
General > Snapshot > Alerts > showing rules used for Behaviour
General > Snapshot > Alerts > showing rules used for Achievements
General > Snapshot > Alerts > showing rules used for Attendance
General > Snapshot > Alerts > showing rules used for Exclusions
Additionally, the following role option changes the colouring for exclusions so that 0 exclusions is shown as green and any other number is shown as red:
General > Snapshot > Alerts > All Exclusions are unacceptable
Achievements and Behaviours
The following role options affect the information shown in the Achievements and Behaviours Alert boxes:
General > Snapshot > using behaviour incidents in the range | This is the date used to calculate the numbers shown in the Alert boxes |
General > Snapshot > use points instead of events for behaviour | The Alerts will either show the number of incidents that the student has received, or the number of points from those incidents |
The following role options also must be enabled for the user to see the Achievements and Behaviour Alert boxes:
Behaviour > Achievements | This is must be On for the user to see the Achievements Alert |
General > Snapshot > including Achievements | This is must be On for the user to see the Achievements Alert |
Behaviour > Behaviour | This is must be On for the user to see the Behaviour Alert |
General > Snapshot > including Behaviour | This is must be On for the user to see the Behaviour Alert |
Behaviour incidents will not be included if they were issued within the number of days set in the following preference:
Behaviour > The number of days taken to validate negative behaviour records
Users can be prevented from accessing the Achievements or Behaviours pages using the following preference, but this will not hide the Alert boxes on the snapshot page:
Behaviour > Hide behaviour menu items for the following years
Attendance
The Attendance Alert box will show the student's percentage attendance based on sessions (AM and PM only). This can be turned off using the following role option:

This Term's Attendance
This Term's Attendance is chart which shows the student's attendance to each week at school. Attendance is shown week-by-week, so if a pupil is absent for a week their attendance will drop down to 0 on the graph, for that week. The chart can be turned on or off using the following role option:
Snapshot > This term's attendance
During the first week of a new term, this chart will be blank. This is because Insight needs at least two data points before it can draw a line. You should have data showing from the second week of term onwards.
Custom Panels (snapshot.bolton.xml)
You can also add custom panels to the Snapshot page. Each custom item needs to be created as a html page and saved in the _Personalisation folder. Once an item has been created, create a bolton file. You can have several bolton files. The filename will always be "snapshot_" followed by a distinct number e.g. snapshot_1.bolton snapshot_2.bolton etc.
The bolton files need to be in the following format:
<root> <title>Guidance</title> <url>https://[your Insight URL]/_Personalisation/example.html</url> <height>50</height> </root>
The title will be shown on the snapshot page about the new item. The "example" part of the URL should be replaced with the name of the html file in the _Personalisation folder and the height is the number of pixels tall that the item will be. Items are always 300px wide.
Multiple snapshot.bolton files can be used by creating a new file and adding a number to the end of "snapshot" e.g. snapshot1.bolton.xml
Behaviour Summary
The following role option must be enabled to show the Behaviour Summary section. This role option will also enable the Recent Behaviours section of the snapshot page:
General > Snapshot > Behaviour
There are sections for positive and negative behaviour within the Behaviour Summary section. Each can be turned on or off independently using the following role options:
General > Snapshot > Showing Achievements summary
General > Snapshot > Showing Behaviour summary
The Behaviour Summary will show behaviour incidents from the range specified in this role option:
General > Snapshot > Using incidents in the range
A Cash-In section may also be shown, which will display the number of points that the student has spent on rewards, and the number of points currently available for them to spend. This feature is only available to PARS users. See the Cash In and PARS pages for more information.
By default the Behaviour Summary section will show data based on the number of incidents given to a student. This can be changed to show the number of behaviour points from those incidents, using the following role option:
General > Snapshot > Use points instead of events for behaviour
There is a preference to hide behaviour menu items for students in selected year groups. This preference can also apply to the Behaviour Summary section of the Snapshot page. The preference is found via:
Behaviour > Hide behaviour menu items for the following years
In order for this preference to affect the Behaviour Summary section, the following role option must also be enabled:
General > Snapshot > Follow Hide behaviour menu preference
Negative behaviour incidents will not be shown if this preference is used to hide them:
Behaviour > The number of days taken to validate negative behaviour records
The Behaviour Summary section will not take account of any incidents that have been hidden from the Achievements or Behaviours pages, which both have their own role options that can cause incidents to be hidden.
