  5. Student Manager data is managed through three major areas: • Names - your students, your potential students • Courses – Your programs, classes, workshops, conferences, online programs, etc. • Registrations– and the payments related to them

  6. Use the Center ScreenQuick Launch

  7. Toolbar Icons • Lookup Faculty • Add/Edit Codes • Edit Preferences • Open the Online Help Guide • Log on a Different User

  8. Or drop-down menus to access each area

  9. To leave Student Manager Go to File and choose Exit Or close with the But remember to close the program any time you leave your office!

  10. The Undo/Cut/Copy ONLY Is LIVE if you have a record open! Clicking on Edit provides the opportunity to Undo, Copy, Edit, Paste, Clone and Paste Name record, set Preferences and establish or edit your User Profile

  11. Module Is where you can get to your data… To add/edit or Delete records in your system….

  12. Reports ….. 200 + reports in 84 different areas… all reports can be modified

  13. Tools… for maintenance & cleanup

  14. A quick place to get a “Big Picture” of the total size of your system is under “Help” About Student Manager Check on the status of any optional Modules you have (or not so much)??

  15. Entering Names

  16. 4 ways to begin! 1 Click the + sign to add a name 2 From Modules, select Names, Add New Name 3 On the keyboard – Alt + A 4 From the Quick Launch Toolbar

  17. Customize the name screen with Preferences Since only checked fields display, you can remove fields, improving accuracy. NOTE: Many fields can be re-labeled and/or validated. Quick Tip: Black items = Individual user can change Blue Items = Global Preferences

  18. Don’t see a place to store specific info? Name User Defined Fields (UDF’s)

  19. The + sign means you can add codes On-the-fly Data Validation fields with dropdown arrows) Remember.. What you “See” depends On what fields you’ve enabled in The Name Preferences Area.. Pink brackets are also validated data fields, but link to a table. (Firms/Zip Codes)

  20. Student ID# NOTE: SM requires a 9 digit number here. You can have SM automatically “Pad” a shorter # (if you use them) The ID # is the unique identifier for the Names table.   Organizations have the option of entering a unique 9 digit ID, or allowing the system to generate an ID number for the Name record (if you do not enter a #, the system will generate a unique ID number when you save the record).   System generated ID numbers begin with your site code (e.g. if 'X' is your site code the numbers would begin at X00000001; select Edit / Preferences / Organization Defaults to set the site code.  

  21. Special Fields

  22. Badge Name: for those people who don’t like the name their mother gave them, or prefer to go by the name “Bubba” NOTE: “Badge Name” can be “Re-Purposed” (eg: use for Maiden Name or ??) “Don’t mail” lets you exclude this name record when running mailing lists. ( eg: if you have multiple family members )

  23. A complimentary field to “Don’t Mail” is Excl which excludes the name from mass emails (Which lets you track a Student’s “Opt Out” preference)

  24. Source identifies how the customer arrived at your doorstep the first time. Add Interest identifies those classes in which the customer expressed an interest. As they register for courses, the subject code from the course is added to this field. No limit is placed on the amount of Interest codes a student may have.

  25. Interest Codes are a POWERFUL tool for Marketing and Program Management! • Can add as many as you want • Can “Scope” by program area • Can auto-fill from Course “Subject” • Can be edited (date) or deleted • Dbl Click to DELETE • Right Mouse Click to Edit Date

  26. Occupation and Organization Record the student’s career choice in occupation, and the industry in which they work in organization. For example, on campus you have nurses and law enforcement officers (occupation) who work in education (organization). Recording both is more accurate when generating mailing lists. NOTE: again… you can “Re-Purpose” these fields

  27. Membership(s) A powerful tool to manage, track, and control access to classes. There is a special webinar devoted to handling memberships in the webinar archive. (Under SM Operations) OLLI
