How to set up delayed intelligence events

This guide will explain how to set up delayed intelligence events.

By default, intelligence events will trigger as soon their criteria has been met by a pupil. This can be changed so that the event calculations are delayed until the end of the day or week.

To set up a delayed event, click on the Analytics tab at the top of the page.

Next, select Behaviour Events from Intel events sub menu on the left hand side.

Specifying the criteria that will trigger the delayed event

Next, select the criteria that need to be met by pupils in order for the delayed intelligence event to trigger.

The first drop control the threshold required to trigger the event. The available options are explained in more detail below:

Class Charts at least drop down

At least number of points/incidents
The event will fire if the pupil has met or exceeded the amount points/incidents required by the end of the chosen time period.

Exactly number of points/incidents
The event will fire if the pupil has been awarded the exact amount of points/incidents by the end of the chosen time period.

At most number of points/incidents
The event will fire if the pupil has met or has less than the amount of points/incidents required by the end of the chosen time period.

If your school has not set up school holidays, a warning popup will appear when a delayed event option is selected. Doing so will prevent the delayed event from firing outside of term time.

The second drop down menu allows you to set the time period that the pupil can trigger the event in.

You can restrict the event so that pupils cannot trigger it more than once. Tick the Only once per pupil checkbox to prevent pupils from triggering the event a second time.
