Detention at Capacity

Detention capacity must be set in the MIS and not in Edulink One. If a detention has reached its full capacity, a message will appear stating that the detention is full if you try to add a learner.

If the detention is full, you can select a new detention from the dropdown menu and add the learner to a new one.

This also applies when adding a detention to a behaviour incident in the register. If you select a detention and it is at capacity a message will appear stating it is full.

Then, you can select another detention from the dropdown menu and add the learner to it.
