This page
shows how to maintain
Student information, select and output data.
The Student Maintenance window is used as an example, but all the
Maintenance windows behave similarly.
The
Maintenance windows display both a list and a form. The List shows all
the records that match the current selection ('ALL' when the window is
first opened). The 'Form' tab shows detail about the highlighted row
and is used to maintain information. The 'Form' tab for the Student
Maintenance window is shown below. The 'Profile' tab is visible
for businesses that use National Reporting System reports for students
with a valid intake date.
Select a set of
records using the Search button. The selected set of records is
displayed in the window. Use the 'VCR' buttons at the bottom of the
window to navigate the records one-by-one. An example would be to
select all Students whose zip code matches a particular value or all
Students in a specific city.
Use
the Reports button to output information as reports, merged documents
and emails. Information from RollCall can be output to the printer, the
screen or a file using internal ReportWriter reports. The PowerVista
ReportWriter is included with RollCall. Write customized reports, or
alter those that are included. IIf you have installed Microsoft Word or
Excel, exported data from RollCall can be used to create customized
reports, letters, graphs and e-mails using those applications. Several
examples are provided with RollCall that can be used as a guide to
creating specialized output for the business. If a Search criteria has
been applied, such as for all Students in a city, only those selected
records will be passed to the reporting window.
RollCall supports pinpointing the data to be output.
The set of records returned by the Search function can be further
selected by using the [shift] and [control] keys with the mouse to
highlight specific records. Internal reports and also exports to Microsoft Word and Excel will reflect the selections
made.
