Every school is unique.
Each new RollCall installation confirms this fact. That means
that every school tracks slightly different attributes for
Students, Instructors, Prospects, Classes and Exams. RollCall
uses a highly customizable approach to address this need.
The customizable attributes are grouped
together by type - called 'prerequisites' in RollCall. So, you can have many
medical requirements, or several licenses, or a number of standardized test
results. You can setup an unlimited number of prerequisites and an unlimited
number of options for each prerequisite.
Each prerequisite has user-defined
description fields attached to it. You can have two number fields (ie. test
scores), two text fields (ie. certificate id's), two Yes/No values and three
date values. You can also store an unlimited number of detail results for each
assigned prerequisite. For example, if you have a prerequisite of 'Standardized
Testing', and one of the options is SAT scores, you can identify that a student
passed the SAT's with a certain combined score, but also that they took the test
4 times, and store each of the score results.
RollCall uses this approach for
Student Qualifications, Class Requirements, Prospect Admissions and
Instructor Skills. A Student becomes eligible for a class, and will be shown on the Registration lists, when they are assigned the same Prerequisite (as a Qualification) as assigned a Class (as a Requirement).
The Prerequisites window is shown below, and is an example of how
user-defined information is entered into RollCall.

Next, the detailed items available for the LICENSE
prerequisite type are entered on the Setup Prerequisites window.
The text "Enter Class" will be shown as
a tooltip text (a little floating window next to the entry field) for
the Commercial truck license option for assigning prerequisites as
Qualifications to students. An example for the License information is
shown below:

Notice that the label information entered for the
prerequisites type is displayed as the column headings when assigning
license information. If an available field isn't setup, it won't be
shown. If you hover the mouse over the 'Automobile cell in the live
application, you would see "Requires class 'C'
or 'D'" as the value for
the hover text
