Summary
This extension tweaks and/or adds some functionality in the Follett Apsen Gradebook and Attendance reports.
More specifically, it
a) allows you to copy some or all of the email addresses from the Gradebook --> Roster report as well as the Students-->Student List report, and new in version 0.0.7, from the Attendance reports as well
b) better enables/disables the absent/present button in the Attendance reports, adds a count of the number present/absent students at the top of the report, and, last but not least, auto-selects the TimeIn field in the Lates dialog so all you have to do is enter the time.
c) Adds a clickable slider to the Lates dialog that makes it easier to record the entry time for students who are late.
NB - this extension is currently setup to only work with the Aspen SIS for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB). Contact me directly if you are interested in it for your board
To see things in action, simply open Aspen and change to the Gradebook or the Attendance tab
Select one of your classes
If necessary, change to a field set
which includes one or more email addresses
Then select one or more rows in the table
Click the copy emails icon (which'll appear on the left side of the screen... right above the table)
The email addresses will be auto-magically copied to the clipboard so you can paste them into your email tool (NB: use the BCC option!)
