OPTION 5)
REBUILD SECTION ROSTERS
Your course section list keeps track of the ID numbers of all of the students in each section which
greatly speeds up the printing of reports and other functions that involve knowing which students
are in each section.
Rarely, these lists of ID numbers may end up containing bad data. In other words, they may end
up containing the ID numbers of students who have been withdrawn or they may contain invalid
ID numbers. These errors will show up as you print class rosters or grade entry forms. When you
select Option #5: REBUILD SECTION ROSTERS, any invalid ID #s in the section list file are
eliminated and therefore errors in printed rosters are corrected.
The rebuild section list process involves erasing the current list of
ID numbers in the section file. The computer then goes through
each of your active students' current records and adds their ID
number to the rosters for each of their sections in which a WITHDRAWN grade is not found in the "FINAL" grade column.
WITHDRAWN grades are W, WF and WP. The "FINAL" grade
column is defined as the right most column on the report card
that has been designated as a FINAL or SEMESTER column.
OPTION 6)
REBUILD SECTION LIST FILE
This option is similar to option five except that it is used to eliminate corrupt data in course section information contained in the section list file. It should be used under the recommendation of
Rediker Software technical support whenever abnormal characters appear in the course section
information either on screen or in printed documents. Please call our technical support department at 1-800-882-2994, if you believe that your master course or section lists contain corrupt
data.
If you are using a scanner to enter course request forms this
option must not be used until printed scan forms have been
scanned into the computer. If you must rebuild the section list file
before scanning printed course request forms the printed scan
forms must be discarded and new forms must be printed.
