Description

The luReportStyle lookup table is used to:

  • Set the field width and character styles used (font and so on) when teachers enter:
    • comments
    • topic comments, in Student Results Maintenance in Synergetic.
  • Set restrictions about the number of characters, lines and words entered.
  • Determine whether to:
    • allow printing of individual classes
    • control the printing of individual classes based on a tutor group.
  • Define the list of Crystal Reports that assessment codes are linked to for different report output styles.
  • Determine whether the Crystal Report is responsible for its own grouping of the classes.

The report style is used in the Report Style field on the Summary sub-tab of Subject Assessment Maintenance. See Subject Assessment Maintenance - Summary tab - Summary sub-tab in the Assessments and reports manual. For example, results for the two German A classes (GEEA1 and GEEA2) are entered based on the A5 Style set for the German A subject assessment.
