upgraded once again (March
2004) to deliver even more
functionality and greater
ease-of-use.
This new
version includes a number of
practical enhancements that
schools have requested.
Report cards and schedules
can now be saved directly as
Adobe PDF documents, via a
standard web-browser, for
ease of printing and
electronic archival. Users
will no longer have to print
report cards and schedules
individually using their
browser’s print
functionality. There is a
new option for combining all
of a student’s course report
cards into a single report
card document, which many
schools have asked for.
Schools can better
customize/configure report
cards by: selecting
descriptors, modifying field
names, uploading custom
header graphics, supplying
footer text, creating report
templates, assigning
templates to courses and
grade-levels, and more. Each
grade level can have a
different report card if
necessary.
There is a
new more efficient master
schedule configuration tool
that allows administrators
to work with the master
schedule one period at a
time or, as in the past, as
a complete schedule overview
Within the attendance
and discipline sections,
schools can now configure
their own reporting codes to
better integrate
SchoolMation with current
reporting standards. There
are a number of changes in
this new version that make
it easier for schools to
configure SchoolMation to
meet local, state and
national data reporting
requirements.
Information can be
exported and imported via
new configurable interfaces
that create/read standard
XML files. We have
also updated a number of
other SchoolMation standard
features to make them more
efficient for our users.

powerful solution by

SchoolMation web site.
