[VELS] Quick Vic/Markbook Reporting Administrative Timeline

[rb]

Yes you must differentiate between subjects and classes. Even if you make
one subject for each class. Subjects control the formatting and titles on
printed reports. So Junior Maths may have ten classes but one subject. Their
reports will all be the same. You could however create ten subjects for each
class. The top row in quick set up where you confgure report layout is
according to my understanding controlled by subjects.
