Create an Incident Type Visualization

  • Updated

Incident Type visualizations allow users to view data on all incidents, Incident Types, and/or Incident Codes. This allows organizations to quickly analyze student behavior through the year to identify trends at a high level. This lesson guides users through creating an Incident Type visualization.  

Before You Begin

Required Permissions: Access District Achievement Dashboard OR Manage District Achievement Dashboard 

This lesson begins assuming a Dashboard has already been created. If one has not been created, take a look at Create a New Dashboard.

Where to Start

An example dashboard with the New Visualization button labeled as step 1, and the Incident Type option labeled as step 2.

  1. Select New Visualization.
  2. Choose Incident Type. 

Incident Type Visualizations

The New Incident Type Visualization popup window with Visualization Name labeled as step 3, Incident Type labeled as step 4, Incident Code labeled as step 5, the Include Secondary Incidents and Responses toggle labeled as step 6, Report As labeled as step 7, Select a Grouping labeled as step 8, Select a Visualization Type labeled as step 9, Student Filters labeled as step 10, Enter a Short Description labeled as step 11, Display Settings labeled as step 12, and the Save button labeled as step 13.

  1. Enter a Name for the visualization. 
  2. Select an Incident Type. This is optional, and leaving it blank will populate the visualization with all types. More than one type may also be selected. 
  3. Select an Incident Code. This is optional, and leaving it blank will populate the visualizations with all codes. More than one code may be selected.
  4. Toggle Include Secondary Incidents & Responses on to include secondary incidents as part of the count within the visualization. 
  5. Use Report As to select if Attendance will display the Number of Incidents, Number of Reported Codes, Average Incidents Per Day, Total Students, or Percent of Students.
  6. Select a Grouping. This determines how the incidents are grouped together, including Incident Type, Incident Month, Incident Weekday, Incident Code, Incident Location, Incident Hour, and Incident Response. 
  7. Select a Visualization Type. This determines how the data is displayed. Options include a Bar Chart, Column Chart, Numeric Display, Line Chart, and Table. 
  8. Select the arrow icon to expand possible Student Filter options. This requires students to meet the selected filters to appear within the visualization. 
    • Example: If eduCLIMBER Elementary is selected, then only students who attended eduCLIMBER Elementary for the roster year selected will appear in the visualization. 

The Student Filters menu opened, with the Active Status highlighted and set to Active, with the X to remove the filter also highlighted.

The Active Status under the Student Filters is automatically set to Active for newly created visualizations. This filter can be set to Active or Inactive, or the X can be selected to remove the filter, allowing for both active and inactive students to appear on the visualization.

  1. Enter a Short Description as needed to provided more details on the data. 
  2. Select the arrow icon to expand possible Display Settings, such as Color Customization, and an Axis Minimum and Maximum. 
  3. Select Save to create the visualization. 

Visualizations are automatically added to the bottom of the dashboard.
