| You
can create filters to show just the students, assignments and scores
you want to see. Filters can be used in all charts but the seating
chart. Before creating your own filter, you should study the built-in
filters to see how they have been set up. To do so, choose Edit filters
from the View menu. In the window that appears, select a filter and
click the Edit button. |

Your
filter may contain individual filters for students, assignments and
scores. Use the tabs to switch between these three parts. Under each
tab, enter up to four rules. The rules can be connected using and
and or
found in the small menus to the left. And
connects two rules so that they must both be met while or
allows either rule to be sufficient. Each rule consists of a subject
and a condition that are selected using menus. Depending on the type
of condition, the rule may or may not have an object that must be
completed by typing letters or words into a text field. Case is not
important. |

Be
sure to test your filter; you may find that it needs refinement to
work properly. Note: filters have no effect on students whose status
is WD (hidden). |
FAQ:
I have a group of students (or just one student) with unique
assignments. How can I create a filter to show just this group
and its assignments?
The first step is to come up with a code for this group,
such as RED. Choose Assignment from the Chart menu and put the
code into the Note field of each assignment's record. Choose
Student from the Chart menu and put the code into one of the
twelve custom fields of each student's record. Now, create a
filter that shows students with the code in the custom field
and that shows assignments with the code in the Note field.
If you have multiple groups of students and assignments in your
class, you can create a filter for each group. |
