Specification
E) USE TEXTS,
COSTS &
FEES
Description
Use this specification to indicate that you wish to enter a text book
name, its cost and any other fees for each master course. If you use
Scheduling Plus, this information can be printed on students'
schedules along with the total amount that they owe the school. Only
the default reports #21, #22, and #23 in Schedule Report Writer will
include this information.
F) LIMIT
SECTIONS
TO SPECIFIC
GRADE
LEVELS
You may turn this setting on and off without losing any entered texts,
costs and fees. With the setting off, the following will happen:
• You will not be asked to enter texts, costs and fees for new master
courses that you enter, nor will old entries appear on the window.
• Texts, costs and fees will not be printed on the master course
printout.
• Texts, costs and fees will not be printed on students' schedules.
Turning this option on will cause the opposite to take place.
This option should be used only if you are using Scheduling Plus and
if you wish to limit certain sections of master courses to specific grade
levels. For example, assume that you will have three sections of master
course #12 and that you want two of the sections open to any grade
level but that you do not want your grade 9 students to have it last
block. Using this option, you may limit the section meeting last block to
grades 10 through 12. This means that the Perform Scheduling
program will have to schedule grade 9 students into one of the other
two sections.
Setting this option to Yes, when you create a section, you will have to
enter a beginning and ending grade level for that section. Section
printouts will then display this information. Note that this option is used
by Scheduling Plus to determine if it should limit students to specific
sections by grade level during the scheduling process. If you turn this
option off, although students will no longer be limited to specific
sections, no data will be lost. Turning it on again will once again limit
students to specific sections.
NOTE: If you have some sections of a course that are limited to certain
grade levels and others that are not, you can still use this option.
Simply set Start Grade (SG) to lowest grade level and End Grade (EG)
to highest grade level for sections that are not limited to specific grade
levels.
