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.Anchor

CommentWidthMM | Width of the comment box in Student Results Maintenance. This affects how the comments are formatted on the report. For example, an A5 piece of paper is 148 mm wide. The value for the A5 Style is 125 mm; which fits neatly when printed on A5 paper.
By contrast, the CommentWidthMM field has been set to 50 in the following example. The box is narrower than the example above.
