Specifications
The specifications that are available for the View/Change/Add/Drop program are
explained in detail in the SCHEDULING PLUS Manual.
You can access Specifications at any time through the Transcript View as well as through
the Schedule View by clicking on the Specifications button in the upper right corner of the
VCAD window.
All Specifications pertain to the Scheduling Views except for the following:

B) LOOKUP/SEARCH BY SCHOOL OR GRADE
If you set this specification to search By School, when you type Smith to call up a
student, the first Smith alphabetically will appear, no matter what grade level they are
in. If you want a different Smith, press the F7: REPEAT SEARCH key to call up the
next Smith regardless of grade level. If you press the F6: LOOKUP key, your entire
school will appear in alphabetical order. Choose the student whose transcript you wish
to view.
If you choose to search By Grade, when you type “Smith”, only a “Smith” in the current
grade will be accessed. Moreover, only the students in the current grade will appear in
the LOOKUP list. Note that you can always switch from one grade to another by typing
a five-character ID number. For example, while in grade 12, you may call up student #50
in grade 9 by typing “09050” and pressing ENTER. Once in grade 9, you can type a
name to search for the first student in grade 9 matching the ID number you entered.
If you choose to sort By School and if you have a slow computer, upon selecting a grade
level from the main window there will be a noticeable delay while the key file for the
entire school is read. This delay will be barely noticeable to those of you with fast
computers. Consequently, if you have a slow computer, you may want to use the By
Grade option. You will also want to use this option if you are entering grades by grade
level.
By default, students appear alphabetically in the F6: LOOKUP window. To view students
in the LOOKUP listed by ID number, click on the column heading ID in the lookup window.
To return to an alphabetical view, click on the column heading NAME.
