Grounds

"Grounds" are the equivalent of "Types" in SIMS; when recording behaviour, the "Grounds" are what the pupil(s) have done. Add grounds to be selected from a dropdown list when behaviour incidents are recorded. You can perform an analysis of the grounds used with Behaviour reports or Custom behaviour reports. Grounds can also be categorised for ease of selection.

Outcomes

"Outcomes" are the equivalent of "Outcomes" from SIMS; when recording behaviour, the "Outcome" is what the staff member is going to do in response to the pupil's actions. Add outcomes to be selected from a dropdown list when behaviour incidents are recorded. You can perform an analysis of the outcomes used with Behaviour reports or Custom behaviour reports. Outcomes can also be categorised for ease of selection.

Categories

Categories are used to simplify the process of adding behaviour incidents. For more detail about this, please see our wiki page on adding a behaviour incident.

Locations

Locations are used in PARS to record where events are occurring. You can use this data to organise detentions, host extra curricular classes, analyse behaviour and create heat maps. When teachers record behaviour via their register, PARS will use the details from your SIMS timetable to work out which room the teacher is in; teachers do not have to input this information themselves!

Events

Event is the term used in PARS for "Period of the day". Events are used in PARS to record when behaviour is occurring. Events will automatically be imported from SIMS to reflect your timetable i.e. Thurs:1, Thurs:2, etc. However you may wish to use events that do not occur on your timetable, such as before and after school. When teachers record behaviour PARS will use the details from your SIMS timetable and the current time to work out which period of the day it is; teachers do not have to input this information themselves!

External contacts

External contacts can be added to PARS so that you can refer behaviour incidents to external bodies. When recording behaviour staff can choose (depending on their permissions) to refer the incident to an external contact. Staff members can select from the list of external contacts that you configure on this page.
