Database Manager
The Database Manager enables administrators to perform the following: Create New Departments Create up to 100 departments for academic or non academic use. Grant Privileges Enable departments to access other departments without the need to log out and back in again. Edit Shared Fields Shared fields on Pupil Tracking are managed centrally. Administrators wishing to standardise data entry across all departments can do so by adding new shared fields. Edit General Fields Fields for data specific to the pupil e.g. Gender, CAT scores, NFER scores and YELLIS data can be added as general fields. General fields can be accessed by all departments at all times, but are only editable by administrators. Edit Department Specific Fields In addition to the shared and general fields, department specific fields may be created to store department specific data. Create Select Boxes for Data Entry By default Pupil Tracking provides text boxes for departmental users to manually type the data they wish to enter. However, by adding select boxes for data entry administrators can provide a drop down list of options for users to choose from. This also forces users to enter the appropriate data. Lock Fields Administrators can lock shared and department specific fields so they cannot be edited by departmental users. For example, if collecting Y8 NCLs administrators can lock the Y7 NCL field. Show/Hide Shared Fields Every department/subject on Pupil Tracking must have the shared fields included in their field list. However, shared fields can be hidden from departments who do not wish to see them. For example, the department DofE might be created to allow Duke of Edinburgh award data to be stored. As DofE is not an academic subject it does not need to see or use shared fields. |
