ARTICLE: Creating Custom Restrictions and Gating Labels
Gating is a word used in boarding schools that refers to restrictions being placed on a students permissions for leave so we use it in Reach to refer leave and other restrictions.
In addition to the standard system Gating restrictions that are available in Reach, it is possible to create custom Restrictons or Gating labels for use as visual indicators in Kiosk View for when a student has been placed on a certain level of discipline. Please note that custom Restrictions or Gating labels will not restrict actions in Reach, such as preventing an action from occurring in the system and are meant to serve as a way of tracking and communicating student restrictions for continuity of duty of care among your staff.
Gaiting and using Custom Gating Labels:
System Configurations > Restrictions & Gating and Add Gating Type to create a custom Gating type.
Set the Custom Gating label, icon and color then Save Changes.
Save Changes to save the new configurations.
After applying the Gating to the student, you will see the associated icon in Kiosk view and you can hover your cursor over the icon to see what the restriction is in addition to hovering your cursor over the lock icon in their student sidebar.
Note that if you have 2 or more custom gatings applied to a student or a custom gating and standard gating category, then the generic Lock icon will appear over the student's photo in the Kiosk in place of any custom icons.
