Add more reasons or attributes for behaviour points

This article explains how to add more reasons or attributes for behavior points in a Point Awards Scale. It guides users through the steps of accessing the Point Awards tab, managing the scale, and adding attributes with default point assignments for students.

The first step is to make sure you have created a Point Awards Scale. Take a look at the Behaviour Setup guide here.

1. Go to Students > Behaviour > Setup > Point Awards tab.

2. Select the point scale.

Click Manage Point Award Scale in the slide over.

3. Click +Add to add attributes and choose how many points by default should be assigned to the student(s) when this reason is chosen.

These will allow staff to specify why a pupil has received Behaviour Points. When assigning the reason, you can change from the default number of points.

Adding a reason/attribute is also what allows this Point Award scale to appear in the Lesson Dashboard. A scale with no reasons/attributes configured won't be available to log from the Lesson Dashboard, even if Accessible in lesson is set to Yes. See Setting up Behaviour in Arbor for more on the Accessible in lesson setting.
