SIS 2000+ Student Program History

Sec. 2, View / Sort Data

2.1 View Special Programs history list
The opening screen of the Student Program History program displays a summary list of special programs in which the student has been placed (Fig. 5). Key data fields are displayed in read-only mode: Program (name), Entry Date, Entry Code, Exit Date, Exit Code, and Status.

View the entirety of the list by using the scroll bars, if necessary. For optimum viewing, column width may be adjusted with a mouse by dragging the column separator lines in the column header right or left (as done in an Excel spreadsheet).

Where there is no Exit Date or Exit Code for a special program (the field will be ".NULL", "<Unset>", or blank), it may indicate the student is currently enrolled in that program.

2.2 Sort Special Programs list
The default sorting order of the list is alphabetical based on the Program name field. The list can be re-sorted in ascending or descending order based on any of the other fields in the grid.

• Sort list, Method #1.


• Open the Sort menu (Fig. 6). Select (highlight) a field to sort on in the upper portion of the menu. The selection can be made by using the arrow keys, by using a mouse, or by pressing the underlined shortcut letter of the selection. The Sort menu will automatically close after a selection is completed.

• To define a sort direction, open the Sort menu again. The field to sort on will have a check mark beside it (Fig. 7). Select Ascending or Descending using the same method as above. The Special Programs list will now be re-sorted according to the new parameters selected (Fig. 8). The new sorting order is temporary only. The default sorting order is reinstated whenever the program is quit and reopened.

• Sort List, Method # 2

Click on the column heading of the field to sort on. The list will automatically sort itself in the reverse of its current sort order, that is, if the list was in ascending order by the data in the field selected, the mouse click will cause the list to be sorted in descending order per the field selected, and visa versa.
• Resize columns

Column width may be adjusted with a mouse by dragging the column separator lines in the column header to the right or left (similar to an Excel spreadsheet).

2.3.1 Select a special program from the list by clicking on the line until it is selected with a small black arrow (Fig. 9).

2.3.2 Click on the Edit button at the bottom of the screen to activate the edit mode.

2.3.3 Four information sub-screens (tabs) appear in the edit mode; signified by their white field color.

The first two tabs, 'General' (Fig. 10) and 'Custom' (Fig. 11) contain more details of the selected special program (for detailed explanation of each field see Sec. 3, Enter A Student in a Special Program). The third tab, 'Recommendations' (Fig. 12), is a read-only reference screen that is not related to the selected program, but rather to the selected student (see Step 2.4 below). The fourth tab, 'Tests', is not activated at this time.

Note:
In the edit mode, the VCR buttons at the bottom of the screen have a different function. Here they may be used as a shortcut to scroll forward or backward through the student's special programs without reverting to the summary list on the main screen.
