Select
Turn on syncing
for this gradebook. If a different gradebook is already
set up for syncing, a warning window will appear because only one
gradebook can be set up for syncing at a time. Do not turn on syncing
for a new gradebook if there are unsynced gradebook changes on the
handheld. Sync the data first! |

(Optional)
Click the Reset User button. EGP Clipboard uses the Handheld User
name displayed in the window to match the gradebook with the right
handheld when syncing. If the name is blank, it will be filled in
automatically during the first sync. Do not reset the user if there
are unsynced gradebook changes on the handheld. |

From
the list, select the classes to be copied to the handheld. You may
select up to sixteen classes from one term. If a selected class has
no students, it will be ignored. You may change your selection of
classes at any time; EGP Clipboard will sync the changes in your handheld
before switching to your new class selections. Don't select unneeded
classes: each adds roughly five seconds to the sync time. |

Choose
the students to be copied to the handheld. You can choose to include
all students, displayed students (based on the items in the View menu)
or students with missing or blank scores. Withdrawn students are never
copied. The students that appear on the handheld can actually change
each time you sync. If your selection results in no students to be
copied, the class will be ignored and not appear on the handheld. |

(Optional)
Select the Include Assignments box and choose the assignments to be
copied to the handheld. You can choose to include all assignments,
displayed assignments (based on the items in the View menu) or assignments
with missing or blank scores. The assignments that appear on the handheld
can change every time you sync based on your setting. To minimize
sync time, only include assignments needed until the next sync. |
| 7 |
(Optional)
Select the Include Attendance box. If you want to record attendance
on the handheld, be sure to set a calendar for the class in the Class
Options window before syncing. Calendars cannot be set on the handheld.
To minimize sync time, only set calendars in classes for which attendance
data will be recorded. |
FAQ:
How do I switch the classes in EGP Clipboard to my new term?
