When this option is enable, the program goes to a new form of the initial sign in screen.
This option allows the teacher or librarian to register the same activities for all the students that belong to a specific class or teacher. The list of activities displayed is the one for Staff, which should include class activities as options as well as individual teacher activities.
If “Process by Teacher” is selected, the program displays a list of all the teachers found in field 852 subfield c of the patron file. In the same way, a list of homerooms is displayed if “Process by Homeroom” is selected, taking the information from field 852 subfield b of the patron file. Selecting one teacher or homeroom then records the same activities for all patrons with the matching information.
Individual names or barcodes can be entered at this screen as well.
It is important to note that for this option to work properly the appropriate subfields have to exist and be consistent in the patron records.
