To Transfer Marks

1. Open the Report Card Preview - Standards screen.

2. The Report Card Preview - Standards screen functions in the same way as the old Report Card Preview screen you may be familiar with, but the layout is simply a list of all report card standards without the content area headings. Just like the old Report Card Preview screen, transferring all student marks to the report card will overwrite any corresponding marks already on the report card. Transfer all student marks from this screen before making any manual adjustments to individual student marks.

If you return to this screen after transferring marks, you will see those marks to the right of the pulldown menus.

3. Click the green "Transfer all student marks..." button at the top of the screen. You will see a warning message about overwriting existing marks. Since you haven't entered or adjusted any student marks yet, it is safe to continue.
