chosen at the setup box.
Tip: Hide the WebPams navigation panel by clicking the separator bar between the navigation pane and the loader. This will give the user more room to see the columns associated with the
loader.

To do this, make sure Purchase was chosen on the setup box to see the items entered in Points Maintenance.
Locate the row of the desired student. Click in the matching cell under the Purchase column. The user will see an “x” will be placed here. Repeat for each desired to student to
purchase an item.
After marking the students who are purchasing an item, locate the desired item on the right and click on it. Each “x” will change to the purchase item and the matching point deduction.
Note: Once posted, there is no way to remove other than doing an adjustment on the student as explained in the next section.
Adding an Adjustment to multiple students:
To do this, the user can have set at the setup box either “Purchase” or “Adjustment”.
Click the Add Adjustment button at the bottom. Enter the number of points to be added or deducted. If a negative deduction is to be performed, click the “+/-“ button to place a
negative in front of the point value.
Enter a name of the adjustment such as “Honor Roll”, “Caught being good”, “Caught being bad”, etc…
Click the Add button. You will see the created item appear on the right in the listing of items with points.
Locate the row of the desired student(s). Click to place an “x” in the column labeled either Adjustment or Purchase. Then browse to the desired item on the right and click.
You will see the points posted to the student along with a description.
Note: If a mistake was made, such as assigning points to an incorrect student, create an adjustment that is opposite of what was given, then assign to the student. Example: A student
is given an adjustment of -50 by mistake. Create an adjustment that adds 50 points back.
