Setup the student
population
The student
records can be entered in a combination of two methods. One
method is to enter information manually for each student. The
other is to import the information into the system
electronically. A fixed record length text file is needed for an
electronic import. The information necessary in a record
is: student number, first name, last name, grade level, and sex or
gender. If this information is available in the proper format
there is an import feature accessed from the “Tools” bottom menu
tab. Click on it. Then click on the “Import” tab on the
top. Be sure the “Student Import” tab is selected. If it
is, the title will be “Student Import”. Click on the browse
box located on the right side of the “Import File Name” field.
Select the text file. Click on the “Test Import” button. If
the information displays correctly, then click on the “Import Students”
button. If it displays incorrectly, then the source text file
will need to be regenerated or adjusted before importing the student
information. At the end of a successful import, summary
information will be displayed noting the number of students added.
To add
students manually, make sure the Locker screen is displayed.
Click on the “Student” tab found on the bottom of the Locker
screen. Click on the “Add” button on the edit bar. Enter
the student number, last name, first name, middle initial, sex or
gender, grade(click on the triangle on the right of the field, select a
grade from the drop down list), group( if applicable), a location and
locker number if one is to be immediately assigned( click on the
triangle on the right side of the field, select a location, enter the
assigned locker number), select a partner if the locker is
shared, and add any notes or comments needed. After entering the
appropriate information, click on the “Save” button on the edit bar.
