On the left will be a listing of students. Currently associated programs will display in the 14 columns in the center. On the right will be a listing of Program codes to select from.
A student can have up to 14 programs associated with the student. The user can scroll to the right on the screen to see that there are 14 sets of columns.
To load a program code to a selected group of students (and begin and/or end dates if entered in setup box), select a set of columns that do not have data to be overwritten, such as columns PO5 or so.
Click in cell in the "POx" column for the students who are to have this program code. There will be an asterisk (*) in the program cell of each student selected.
The "Begin" and/or "End" dates are displayed as well. This is because the setup box had "Post" dates in the Begin and/or End fields. You can post just an "end date" by adding only an end date to the set up box. Click OK, and then you will have to re-choose the program code and the end date will be changed.
After marking desired students with an asterisk (cell click), on the right, locate the desired Program code to assign to the students. Click on the code.
A confirmation message will be displayed and the asterisks will change to the Program Code abbreviation as shown below.
Need a Report of Students with a Specific Program Code or Codes?
At the setup box, click in the Program Codes field and select the desired Program code(s) to report against.
TIP - If desired, enter in the "Filter" From Date and To Date to further limit the report to students with a specific Program code that have Begin/End dates within the "From" and "To" date
range.
