Installing 1st Class GradeBook on a Network
-------------------------------------------
Step 1: Install 1st Class GradeBook to a shared folder from which you want
all users to run from.
Step 2: Obtain a registration code from 1st Class Software (905) 302-9988.
Run 1st Class GradeBook and enter the registration code in using
the "Register" menu option found under the "Help" menu.
Step 3: Run 1st Class GradeBook. Go into the setup section and customize
1st Class GradeBook to your school. You can set the school name
grading scale, default comments and even a default password.
All modifications made are saved to a file called "config.usr"
located in the 1st Class GradeBook directory. This user
configuration file will be used as a default setup for each new
teacher. You MUST perform a "File Close" before exiting 1st Class
GradeBook. If you leave and database file open and exit 1st Class
GradeBook that database file name and path will be embedded into
the default configuration file and all new users will automatically
open this database. If you want all teachers to start with a demo
database you have set up this may be desirable.
Step 4: Create a file called "user.lst" in the 1st Class GradeBook directory.
This file contains a comma delimited list of all user ids and a
fully qualified path and a filename to the user's configuration file.
Example:
bsmith, h:\users\bsmith\bsmith.usr
jdoe, h:\users\jdoe\jdoe.usr
etc
NOTE that the configuration file will not exist yet. The first
time a teacher logs in 1st Class GradeBook will create this
configuration file from the default configuration file you setup up
in step 3. This configuration file should be located in a
personal working space (on or off the network). Note that the
teacher must have write access to this personal work space.
*** Note that you, as a system adminstrator, can bypass the user id prompt
by renaming the "user.lst" file temporarily.
*** Note: If you run 1st Class GradeBook without logging in under a user
ID you must be careful not to change any settings in the setup unless
you want to change the default setup. You must also ensure that you
perform a "File Close" before exiting 1st Class GradeBook. If you
exit while a database file is open all new users will automatically
attempt to open the database file that you left open. This is
most likely not desirable unless you are intending on starting all
teachers with a demo database.
