Clicking this button will produce printable class lists of all students involved in ensembles (sorted by Form). These lists are useful for class teachers (especially Junior School class teachers!)
Each class is printed on a separate page and the lists show
- Ensemble Name
- Details (rehearsal, day, time, venue)
- Conductor
- Names of students involved in that ensemble.
When you click this button, the computer will automatically work through a number of steps:
1. Firstly, it will enter FIND MODE, allowing you to enter your own search criteria. However, you will notice that in the 'Status' field, a find request has already been entered i.e. 'Current'. This is because usually you would want to find only the students currently in ensembles. By including this request in the script it means you don't have to remember to type it in all the time! You can modify the search criteria, however, by typing in your own request before clicking 'Continue'. For example, if you only want ta printout of the Junior School students, you could type '<7' (less than 7) in the 'Year Level' field at this point.
2. Click 'Continue' at the top right of your screen.
3. The computer will then FIND the records specified by your criteria and sort them by Year Level, Form, Ensemble Name, and Student Last Name.
4. It will then take you to a different LAYOUT of this information (the 'Class Lists' layout).
5. It will then pause for you to have a look at the information.
6. If you're happy with the Preview, click the Print icon at the top of the screen.
7. Click 'Continue' at the top of the screen to take you back to the 'Ensemble Details' layout, in Browse Mode (back to where you started).
NOTE: You can change the sort order of your report, or omit certain records, by cancelling the script, whilst in Preview mode. (Click 'Cancel' in the status bar at left.) You can then select 'Sort' from the 'Records' menu in the toolbar at the top of the screen and make any changes. You can also select certain records and omit them from the current found set.
To preview your report again, choose 'Preview' from the 'View' menu.
To get back to the layout where you started, use the layout drop-down menu at the top of the status bar - select 'Ensemble Details'.
