    Description

    Insert Comment Code

    Use the pop-up menu to select the comment code. When you select the code to include on the report, it appears in the footer field.

    When working with comment codes:

    • Use the student attendance codes to insert the number of absences or tardies. When you insert this code, it appears as either <# absences> or <#tardies>. The final report displays the attendance or tardies for the entire year. To display this information for a specific term only, enter a colon followed by the term after the code.

    The following example inserts the number of tardies for the second quarter: <#tardies:Q2>.

    • Use the final grade codes to insert information concerning final grades. When you insert this code, it appears as <FG Grade:>, <FG Points:>, <FG Pts poss:>, <FG Percent:>, or <Citizenship:>. The final report displays the specified final grade of the current term. To display this information for a different term, enter a colon followed by the term after the code.

    The following example inserts the final grade for the second quarter: <FG Grade:Q2>.

    • Use the category codes to insert information concerning categories of assignments. When you insert this code, it appears as <CAT points:>, <CAT pts poss:>, <CAT percents:>, or <CAT grade:>. Then, enter the name of the category after the code to appear, such as <CAT Points:Homework>. The final report displays the specified category information for the current term. To display this information for a different term, enter a colon followed by the term after the category name.

    The following example inserts the category points for homework in the second quarter: <CAT points:Homework:Q2>.
