[Reporting] Reporting Packages that work

[Robert Hind]

Ashwood College also uses MarkBook for reporting and has done for some 
years. It works well. But more hard work this year moving all year 7 to 10 
into VELS reporting. Not my job this year (I am semi-retired) although I am 
providing some help for the lucky person who took the job over :))

Timetabling and recording of students classes is via Time Chart (Amig 
Systems) which has also been used for some years and found to be very 
useful. Central student admin database has to be via CASES as we are a 
government school.

Not all problems with coordination of MarkBook and Time Chart have yet been 
fully resolved. We know what we need to do but there is the old problem of 
T . I . M . E needed to implement the required solution.

Hello Steve

We are using MarkBook for reporting and like you have a plethora of
student related dbs.

We have just started using Timetabler and our plan is to make it the
central db for anything to do with students and their classes. MarkBook
will 'feed' from that. CASES (=MAZE) will be used only for the student
admin side of things. It will be the source of basic student data for TT.
