Quick way to “eye ball” information for a student…for Data Mining Gurus!
I learned this little tip at PowerSchool University in San Francisco this last summer and thought I would share it with you! I thought it was really cool and it can save you some time when you are looking at student information.
Here is a great example on how useful this tip can be…..Many times when a new student comes into your district you have just enough time to enter in only the information that is required on the “enroll new student” screen. Then by the time you go back to that student to enter in more information you have forgotten what or what you have not entered in. You find yourself clicking on 10 different screens to see what needs to be filled in. To quickly see the student’s information that has been filled in or needs to be filled in, choose the student from the home page. Right click on any of the student links (for example right click on demographics) and choose open in new window. The window opens up displaying just that 1 page for that student. In your url you will see frn= and then a number. For example frn=001151. Change the frn to mcr and it will take you to the page that displays the record for the student in DDE. Now you have a view of all of the student fields and what they contain and can note which fields need to be filled in or changed! ****Note: I was using Internet Explorer when displaying these steps.****
