Archive<br />

Specification<br />

UNARCHIVE:<br />

Description<br />

This option reverses Option #1. For example, it would copy YEAR -4 to<br />

YEAR -3, YEAR -3 to YEAR -2, and YEAR -2 to YEAR -1. It does not<br />

copy YEAR -1 to YEAR 0 because the data in YEAR 0 remained there<br />

during the original archiving with Option #1. If there was a power failure<br />

during the original archiving process, this option may NOT be used in<br />

lieu of restoring a backup because the original archiving was<br />

interrupted in the middle of the process.<br />

NOTE: When students' courses are archived, only the master course<br />

numbers are moved to the archival files and not the section numbers.<br />

When transcripts are printed, course names, credits, quality points and<br />

course lengths are found by using these master course numbers in the<br />

archival files and matching them up with what is currently in the master<br />

course list. Consequently, it is important that you do not change these<br />

items in your master course list unless you also want them changed for<br />

all of the students who may have those courses in their archival files.<br />

Only the report card columns that have been identified as ARCHIVAL<br />

columns will be archived. Option #2 in the Customize RC program is<br />

used to define which of your report card columns will be archived.<br />

Note that any codes in the “CR” column are automatically archived.<br />

The “CR” column is used to designate that a student has taken a<br />

course for half or no credit as well as if the course should count half or<br />

none towards GPA's.)<br />

The archival process also takes the daily attendance data for the<br />

current year and stores it in the archival files so that it may optionally<br />

be printed on transcripts.Therefore, it is important to finish entering all<br />

of the daily attendance before running the archival process.<br />

Lastly, the archival process takes the ID numbers of the teachers for<br />

each course and stores them in students' archival files. These STAFF<br />

ID numbers will only be used if you later decide to print teachers'<br />

names on the transcripts. If you do decide to print teachers' names, it<br />

is important that you do not remove STAFF members from your STAFF<br />

file as long as their ID numbers are in the archival files.<br />

NOTE: Backup before archiving your data. If there is a power failure or<br />

the archiving process aborts for some reason, you will have to restore<br />

your backup and redo the archiving process.<br />
