Log Entries

As a teacher, how do I view Log Entries that I've entered?

@stahleya   You would see them in the same place where you enter them for a student. However, if your school does not have that feature turned on then you won't be able to see them. I'd talk to your admin or PS SIS person to see if they can turn that feature on.

Is there anywhere to find information on how to turn this feature on?  I have worked at a school where I could see all log entries that I have made for each student.  At my current school, I am not allowed to see any log entries and only people with admin access can see them.  My admins keep informing us that it is impossible to change the setting for individual teachers to see their own entries.  If you could please point me in the right direction so I can tell our tech department it is possible.  Thank you!

Hi @glongo 

We recommend contacting your SIS Administrator to confirm that you have the proper group permissions.

Please let us know if this helps or in case of any further queries.

Any idea if this has changed or updated? My school JUST switched to Powerschool from something else that was so easy to track all of the logs that I created each week for ALL of my students, and now I'm trying to find the best way to go about finding a way to see my entries each week that I have logged without having to do double the typing by documenting it elsewhere, if that makes sense. Thanks.

can teacher see the log entries that created in Admin Portal ?

Hi @Nititohir

Teachers cannot view log entries from the teacher portal. They would either require Admin role to view them or access to the Admin's portal.

You can share this idea as an Enhancement Request on  PowerSchool Ideas Portal so that the product team can take a look at this. This article should walk you through how to raise an Enhancement Request.

There is a customization available that would grant this access if your PowerSchool Admin thinks it might be worth looking into. It can be found here: https://support.powerschool.com/exchange/view.action?download.id=867&fromSearchResults=true

can teacher see the log entries that create in admin portal if we use this customization ?

thanks for sharing

[GinaC2]

Yes it is possible depending on your settings. You can also allow teachers to create entries as well. But you have options like - do you want them to only edit ones they enter, for a certain amount of time, etc - I didn't create the customization, but I've had schools that used it in the past.

Hello,

I just installed this plugin. Viewing other log entries (a history as it were) is great but we also want to use log entries for our teachers to record parental contact in its various forms. They don't really use it for discipline so to speak (they escalate through incident referral). 

However, the plugin is forcing teachers to use "Discipline" as the log type as it is the only option available to them in the drop down - and Parent Contact is not visible in the drop down. How do I change this setting?

Is there a way for students to be able to see their log entries in their PS portal?
