Trigger Points (Setup)
Overview
This program allows you to nominate the actions that the school takes when student's reach certain Trigger Point levels.
Running your school's Pastoral Care system in a 'Points' based mode is optional. If 'Points' have not been enabled in Parameters (Setup), then this program is not available.
Trigger Points are for reference only and are not used in the PC Entry or Listing programs.
