When submitting a discipline incident, teachers can view a running count of incidents for the selected student. Districts can configure what information is visible to teachers for each school. There are three available visibility options (see below). Teachers can also quickly filter results by term, such as Semester 1, Semester 2, Quarter 1, or Quarter 2.

Only a Super Admin (district-level user) can configure these settings. If a school administrator would like changes made, they should reach out to their district-level simpldiscipline contact. Settings are located in: Admin Area > Security Settings.


Visibility Options:


1. Teacher-only discipline incident count (Enabled By Default)
By default, teachers see only the minor infractions they personally submitted for the student.

This view:
•Displays a count of the student's minor infractions submitted specifically by that teacher
•Does not include infractions entered by other staff members
•Limits visibility to the teacher’s own documentation





2. School-wide discipline incident count without details (Recommended for progressive discipline)
In this configuration, teachers see the total number of incidents recorded for the student across the school, but cannot view details entered by other staff members.

This view:
•Shows a school-wide total count of discipline incidents
•Prevents access to narratives or other staff documentation
•Allows teachers to open only the discipline incidents they personally submitted
•Lists other incident dates without clickable detail access

This option is recommended for schools using a progressive discipline matrix based on cumulative discipline incident counts while still protecting student privacy. When incident visibility is enabled in the section above, it overrides the settings here and permits teachers to view incident details.





3. Full visibility of all minor infraction details
In this configuration, teachers can see the complete history of discipline incidents for the student, including details entered by other staff members.

This view:
•Displays total counts of discipline incidents
•Provides clickable dates that open the full incident record, regardless of who documented it
•Allows teachers to review narratives, actions, and related details from all staff
