For other columns not listed in the common column list:

Login ID: Username generated by program. Standard format is first initial last name and a sequential number if needed.

NOTE: Existing Login IDs that do not follow this format can be created on a student by student basis. These non-standard logins can be kept or replaced when making mass changes.

Password: Automatically generated value. It can be changed using the instructions below.

Inactive: If this box is checked then a student's or group of students' permission to use the Student Progress Center has been temporarily removed. Permissions can be removed or reinstated using the instructions below.

For FIRST time generation of Login IDs and Passwords, use the Student Login Editor found in Entry under the System area on the left. The mass generation can be done for the whole district or school by school.

The standard format for Login IDs is first initial followed by last name. If necessary a sequential number will be used to prevent possible duplicates.
