INQF12E0 - Class List Inquiry Screen

 

 

About The Information In This Screen

The screen is divided into two blocks:

 

Class Details

Displays the set of fields that can be used to retrieve, display and download a Class List. If the screen is entered directly from the menu, initially all fields in this block will be empty. If the screen is entered via a context unit within the Student Unit Attempt block of INQF1200 a Class List is automatically displayed. Note however that queries can always be performed in this block to retrieve other Class Lists.

Queries are not performed in the usual manner.

To produce a Class List: - Enter Class List details in the various fields as follows:

Click on the Retrieve List button. All Unit Attempts for the specified parameters are displayed.

 

Student Unit Attempt

Shows the Student Unit Attempts retrieved for the specified set of class details. If only Unit Code, Academic Period and Teaching Period were specified, records of all students who attempted the unit would be retrieved. If a Unit Location, Class or Mode were specified, a corresponding subset of student records would be retrieved.

Queries can be performed in this block to refine the set of records displayed by the initial retrieval. For example, having retrieved records for all students who attempted a particular unit in Semester 1 2003, a query could be performed using a Course Code as the query criterion. The effect would be to display a Class List containing only those students in the class who are attempting the unit as part of the specified course. When the Download Records button is clicked, only those records currently displayed are downloaded.

Downloaded Class Lists can be used for the recording of results and subsequent electronic uploading back into Callista. Refer to Electronic Upload of Results for information on this process.
