openSIS allows administrators to edit existing behavior fields to keep behavior data aligned with school policies and operational needs. Editing a behavior field lets you update its title or display order without creating a new field.
This article explains how to edit a behavior field and what changes are allowed.
Only Administrators can edit behavior fields
Teachers and staff can view and use these fields but cannot modify them
Follow the steps below to edit a behavior field:
Log in to openSIS as an Administrator
Go to Settings
Navigate to Behavior
Click Behavior Fields
Select the behavior field you want to edit
Click the three-dot (⋮) menu
Choose Edit Item
When editing a behavior field, you can update:
Modify the name of the field
Use clear and descriptive titles
Change the field’s position on the behavior incident form
Lower numbers appear higher in the form
Data type cannot be changed after creation
Default behavior fields have restricted properties
Core system behavior fields cannot be removed
If a data type needs to change, create a new custom field instead.
Click Update
The changes apply immediately to new behavior entries
Editing a field does not alter historical behavior records
Changes affect future incident entries only
Review changes carefully to avoid confusion for staff
Rename fields thoughtfully to avoid misunderstandings
Avoid frequent changes to active fields
Inform staff if field names are updated
