File types are used to classify the different types of classes. The file type can then be used to easily select records of students who are undertaking a certain type of class. That is, academic classes, music classes and so on.
For example, if you want to display your timetable for Music students, you would choose a FileType equal to M (for music).
The following table lists some sample file types:
File Type | Description |
|---|---|
A | Academic. |
C | Community Service. |
D | Dance School. |
E | AMEB Exams. |
M | Music. |
O | Outdoor Activities. |
P | Playground. Alternatively, see Y below. |
S | Sport or Summer Sport, if distinguished by season. |
W | Winter Sport, if distinguished by season. |
Y | Yard duty. Alternatively, see P above. |
Z | Other. |
Note: File types are maintained in the luFileType lookup table. See Maintaining lookup tables in the Synergetic System maintenance manual.
