FAQ:
I don't remember the password. How do I get back in?
If you are unable to get into your gradebook, call Orbis
Software for help. If you are a registered single-user license
holder or if you are the contact person for a school that holds
a registered site license, you will be given a special one-day
password that will allow you to open the gradebook and set a
new password. |

By
default, Easy Grade Pro will prompt you to make a backup of your gradebook
whenever you close it. Keep in mind that Easy Grade Pro automatically
saves all of your work; the backup prompt is primarily for making
a copy of your gradebook for archival purposes. Use the When
Close or Quit... options to change the standard behavior.
For important information on making backups, see the topic Making
and Managing Backups. |

If
you will have an assistant help enter student data, use the Set
TA Password button to set a password that allows limited
access to your gradebook. The TA or teacher assistant mode is designed
to allow someone other than the teacher to enter student data, while
protecting the gradebook and the privacy rights of students. When
the TA mode is on, many student data fields are grayed and access
to menus and tools is limited. Use the Allow
TA to items to control the level of access. Options include
entering data into charts, switching charts, switching classes, adding
assignments, copying data to other classes and printing reports.

To
turn on the TA mode, choose TA Mode from the File menu or select the
TA Mode tool. To turn off the TA mode, choose TA Mode as before. The
password window will appear and the teacher password must be typed
to regain full access. It is suggested that, before turning on the
TA mode, you use assignment and calendar filters to hide all columns
except for those to receive data from the TA. See To
show just one asignment or a subset of assignments: and To
use the attendance chart for help with this. |
