Placements

  • Updated: The Placements tab is a place to keep track of the physical placement location of a client (excluding Detention placements in this version).

    • This field must be used with the "DET: Date In Detention (Search Only)" field.
    • If you set the Date In Detention field to searchable, and set the Days of Placement to Aggregate Total. You will get a total "Days of Placement" or "Days of Service" calculated automatically.
