Incident and Participant templates

Incident and participant templates are used when you create or edit an incident at the district and school levels.

Incident and participant templates are available to users with PowerSchool SIS Administrator version 26.5.0.0 or later.

Incident template

  • Use an incident template to simplify recording an incident.

  • Each incident template populates different fields on the Incident details page.

  • Fields that were populated from the incident template can be edited and updated based on the incident requirements.

  • You can edit the populated fields when creating/editing the incident from a template.

  • Some common fields that might be overwritten while changing the templates:

    • Incident type

    • Time frame

    • Title

    • Description

    • Location

Participant template

  • Selecting a participant template will add behaviors, actions, and objects to the participant.

  • Each participant template populates different fields on the Incident details page.

  • Fields that were populated from the participant template can be edited and updated based on the incident requirements.

  • You can edit the populated fields when creating/editing the participant from a template.

  • Some common fields that might be overwritten while changing the templates:

    • Actions

    • Behaviors

    • Objects

Note: When actions and behaviors in a participant template fall outside the preferred action levels for the associated behaviors, a warning is displayed for that action.

The Incident and Participant template defines defaults to be filled in and displays the fields that are required (regardless of whether a default value is specified), and the fields that would be hidden for the duration of using the template.
