Setting up, recording and reviewing points using the Pastoral care

Pastoral care types can be configured so they automatically allocate or deduct points when notes are created using that category. This functionality is often used as part of the awards process.

To configure the Pastoral care type to automatically assign points:

1. Go to the Administration workspace > Data management > Pastoral care types
2. Next, select an existing Pastoral care type or create a new one by clicking Add record
3. Add in points you would like to assign (or deduct) to that type and click Save.

By default, staff can override the assigned value at the time the note is created.  To prevent editing of the points, select the setting Disallow editing of points.
