Description
The “Start Year” refers to the first year's data that will print on the
transcript. To change the start year, press “1” and use the arrow keys
to select the earliest year you want to print. The “End Year” refers to
the last year you want to print on the transcript. If you are printing a
transcript for your current seniors, you would probably set
SPECIFICATION #1 to “YEAR -3” (3 years less than the current year),
and set SPECIFICATION #2 to “YEAR 0" (the current year). If you are
printing transcripts for juniors, you will want to set the START YEAR
FOR TRANSCRIPTS to -2 and the END YEAR FOR
TRANSCRIPTS to 0.
This option allows you to specify a Data Base field to be printed on the
top of wide report cards and transcripts. On wide report cards it prints
on the top line of the report, whereas on transcripts it prints across from
the parents' name.
This option allows you to specify a second Data Base field to print on
transcripts. It will print below any entry in SPECIFICATION #3.
These specifications allow you to print a Data Base field at the bottom
of a transcript organized by years (rather than organized by
department). This field will print below each year's data and to the right
of any attendance data.
This option permits you to use or not use the number grade print table
you set up with the Customize RC program. See “Edit Number Grade
Print Table” on page 1-11. If you are using number grades, you have
the option to have them print as something other than the grade you
have entered (for example, letter grades). The number grade print
table translates the grades you have entered into the grades you want
to be printed (the original number grade is what the program stores).
The default setting for this specification is No.
This specification determines what will print in the “AT END OF” box at
the bottom of the transcript. If you are printing senior transcripts at the
end of the first semester, you could enter “SEMESTER1” into this
specification.
