Changes to Detentions

Several changes have been made to the PARS detentions system. These changes will make scheduling easier and more flexible for staff, and will change the setup required for detentions. If you have configured any types of detentions prior to this update, you will need to make some changes to the configuration in PARS.

Changes to Configuration

The changes to the setup of detentions are all applied to the time types, and therefore can be accessed via:
PARS main menu > Detentions > Configure > Configure time types

Schedule only timeslot

This option has been removed. Detention slots must always be scheduled (calenderised) in advance. For the vast majority of schools this will not require any additional setup.
Either of the following two methods can be used to check if a detention has been scheduled:

  • A tick in the Scheduled column means the detention has been scheduled
  • Click the arrow to the left of the detention's name; if any dates are shown, the detention is scheduled
