When an event that has the “Publish to Parent Portal” option enabled is locked, the user is asked “Do you want to publish to parent's portal?“ If the user clicks Cancel, the event is locked, but the document is not published to the Parent Portal. If the user clicks Yes, the event is locked and the following occurs:
- The parent receives an alert in the Alerts box on the Parent Portal: “A Student Service document (event name) has been published for your review for your student (student name).”
- Clicking the alert opens the Reports tab in the student block on the Portal. The document is displayed in the Student Services section of the Reports tab. It includes the link to the document, the Date Published (when the event was locked), and the Date Viewed (when the parent last viewed the linked document).
- Clicking the document link opens a PDF of the event forms in a new tab. The alert is removed from the Alerts block once the parent opens the document.
- If a user unlocks the event, or deletes the event, the alert and document is removed from the Parent Portal.

13. Press Enter to save the event.
To allow an event in a custom program to be available in Bulk PMP Triggers, enter [pmp] in the Tag column for the event.
The steps are the forms that are associated with each specific event. These steps are generally created via a form that is built with Form Builder and tagged for the SSS module. Steps do not require unique names, but it is recommended since steps with identical names are difficult to distinguish when it is time to create the sequences (order of steps) for an event. The same step (form) can be associated with different events within a program, e.g. a step (form) called “Meeting Purpose” can be associated with the IEP and Amendment Agreement events within the ESE program (category).
1. Click the Steps tab.
2. Enter the Step Name.
![](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/006/080/464/original/f42f5a9e-4855-40e0-a7ba-9a319878a240.png)
3. The Custom Route is a path to scripts which handle the display and saving of a custom screen, such as Supplements, Meeting Minutes, Goals & Objectives, etc. These are built with code and not with the Form Builder. The Custom Route allows the user to see the form and complete and save the form when it is opened on the Manage Student screen. This column is Maintained by Focus.
The custom screens for IEP Accommodations, Schedule of Services, IEP Goals & Objectives, IEP Goals Progress Report, Minutes, and the PMP use special routes: “sss/accommodations”, “sss/services”, “sss/goal-builder”, “sss/progress-monitoring/view”, “sss/minutes”, and "sss/pmp/view" respectively IN ADDITION TO Class.

Sequences link a series of steps in an event and the forms associated with each step. Since many steps may appear multiple times across multiple events, use of an intermediate table reduces the need for duplicated data. This tab is also used to define the order in which the steps of an event will display on the Manage Student event screen when the event is opened. The sequence should be set up prior to creating event and/or form triggers.
1. Click the Sequences tab.
2. Select the Event.
