PowerTeacher View Log Entry

[Keith Zamudio]

Hi,

My teachers are interested in having the ability to view all log entries that have been made on behalf of a student as well as go back and view/edit theirs. Any one doing this?

Here is an article <https://powersource.pearsonschoolsystems.com/exchange/view.action?download.id=92> I found in PowerSource, but it is a bit dated. 

My investigation leads me to believe that it is a customization.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

We allow teachers to view certain information about log entries that they have submitted (i.e. the consequence) via that customization. It would be modifiable to allow them to view information about all log entries. We haven’t done that due to concerns about student privacy rights though. (Teachers can see all the information they have typed in and a consequence - not notes by admin things that didn’t originate with them.)

Thanks, Kyle. We have set up our Power Teacher so that Log Entries can be made by any teacher and/or classified staff on any student. This led to the request below. Does the customization below work in the PS version 9? From the documentation, I gathered that the customization was less predictable starting with version 8.

I haven’t had any problems with it.

If you look at the page source code, it’s using tlist_sql to build the information displayed.

This block returns all the discipline logs. Everyone’s discipline logs are id -100000. If you wanted every staff member to view any discipline logs that anyone else had submitted, remove "teacherid=~[x:userid];”. You could also get more fields back by adding more <td> columns with the corresponding field names.

<tr bgcolor="#edf3fe">~[tlist;log;studentid=~(curstudid);teacherid=~[x:userid];logtypeid=-100000;alternatecolor;nonemessage=No log entries were found for this student.;sortcmd;entry_date,&lt;]

<td>~([08]entry_date)</a></td> 

<td>~([08]entry_author)</td>

<td>~([08]entry)</a>

<td><div align="center">~([08]Subtype) </div>

<td><div align="center">~([08]Consequence) </div></tr>

This part returns dress code logs (the logtypeid controls what is being returned, and you could get different categories by changing that id):

<tr bgcolor="#FEEDFA">~[tlist;log;studentid=~(curstudid);teacherid=~[x:userid];logtypeid=5501;alternatecolor;nonemessage=No log entries were found for this student.;sortcmd;entry_date,&lt;]

<td>~([08]entry_date)</a></td> 

<td>~([08]entry_author)</td>

<td>~([08]entry)</a>

<td><div align="center">~([08]Subtype) </div>

<td><div align="center">~([08]Consequence) </div>

</tr>

Yeah, that would be a pretty significant customization.  It would also be a pretty significant decision with how you manage your data.

 

I would agree with Kyle that teachers should only see the log entries that they created.  I would also say that teachers should not be able to edit, or delete for that matter, a log entry on their own.

 

Essentially creating a log entry is adding a piece of information to the student’s discipline file.  That is fine, that is part of their job, but editing it or removing it makes me nervous.  Creating this data should be easier than removing it.

 

For that reason I do a daily and weekly backup of our log entries just to make sure that we have a record of what a log entry said at a specific point in time, if it is changed or deleted later.

Thanks Robin. Your points are duly noted. We can blame Lance Westing for all this. :) Not completely. He sends his regards. Obviously, we need to proceed with care and caution.
