Our district has users enter discipline via log entries. Another individual will then use the log entries to enter data into Incident Management for PIMS reporting purposes. Is there a way to 'link' the two modules so that the work does not need to be entered twice. It seems there should be but I cannot find any documentation on this. If not, I am sure the short answer is to have all incidents be reported into Incident Management but barring that (may not be a way to do that at this point), is anyone aware of a link between the two so they can 'talk' to each other and avoid redundant work.
Thanks in advance.
@eatons Unfortunately, those two aspects of PS do not talk. The many reason is back log entries are one-to-one correlation between one student one log. Whereas, Incident Management is a one-to-many correlation. One incident can have numerous students attached to it, but a log entry can only have one student.

In log entries there is an option to include in PIMS incident report. If I click that, I get all the fields I would need to report the incident. Do I still need to create a separate incident mgt entry? Or will that information be uploaded to PIMS?
Based on the response I recevied, yes you do. The Log Entries and Incident Management systems DO NOT talk to each other and the PIMS templates pull from Incident management. Unless there has been a change I am not aware of, that is still the case.
Is there anyway to connect with you regarding PS Incidents. Our district is struggling.
Hi @bhale
Would you please elaborate on the issues your district is facing with Log entries and Incident management?
