luYearLevel lookup table

Description

The luYearLevel lookup table is used to define:

if and how to transfer students to the next academic year
whether to clear or keep certain student data when transferring to the next academic year
other standard options for each year level, such as the year level coordinators.

You must ensure year levels are reported correctly by mapping Synergetic lookup table values to the year level values used by each external system (e.g. ACARA). See Using the Interface Settings window.

You can map gender values for the following external systems:

ACARA - Australian Curriculum and Assessment Authority
ACTGOVDEMO - ACT Government Demographic Data Collection
SIF - Systems Interoperability Framework.

Rules for creating new academic years

You must have the next year's campus and year levels defined. When you create the new academic year, the particular year level is 'rolled up' into the next year level (and possibly a different campus).

You must specify the next year level for both boys and girls if your organisation is co-educational. If there is no valid next year level defined, the students are not transferred.

Select the relevant flags to clear the Form, House, Tutor Group and two Locker fields, if required.

Examples

Fields

Note: You can define the order of the luYearLevel lookup table fields in drop-down lists using the FieldOrderCSV configuration setting. Organisations upgrading to Version 70 from an earlier version of Synergetic will automatically have the FieldOrderCSV configuration setting pre-configured for the luYearLevel lookup table. See FieldOrderCSV configuration setting.

Field	Description
Code	Numeric code for the year level.
Description	Description title for the year level-campus combination.
Campus	Campus code for the year level. Each campus is defined in the luCampus lookup table. When creating current students, if you have different year levels at each campus, you can filter the Year Level based on the selected Campus. In the following example, the Senior campus is selected. The Year Level drop-down list only shows year levels that apply to the campus. This uses the Code and Description fields: based on the selected Campus sorted using the YearLevelSort field.
YearLevelSort	Number used to sort the drop-down list of year levels.
YearLevelCoordinator	Name of the coordinator for the year level-campus combination.
NextYearCampusMale	Campus to transfer male students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year.
NextYearLevelMale	Year level to transfer male students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year. Note: Set the value for year 12 students to an invalid year level so that they will not be transferred to the next academic year. For example, 99.
NextYearCampusFemale	Campus to transfer female students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year.
NextYearLevelFemale	Year level to transfer female students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year. Note: Set the value for year 12 students to an invalid year level so that they will not be transferred to the next academic year. For example, 99.
NextYearCampusOther	Campus to transfer other gendered students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year.
NextYearLevelOther	Year level to transfer other gendered students to, who are in this year level-campus combination, when creating a new academic year. Note: Set the value for year 12 students to an invalid year level so that they will not be transferred to the next academic year. For example, 99.
TimetableGroup	Timetable group code for the year level-campus combination. Note: You can define timetable groups in the luTimetableGroup lookup table. See luTimetableGroup lookup table.
ClearFormFlag	Select this field to clear the Form field on the School tab of students who are transferred when the new academic year is created. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab in the Current students manual.
ClearHouseFlag	Select this field to clear the House field on the School tab of students who are transferred when the new academic year is created. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab in the Current students manual.
ClearTutorFlag	Select this field to clear the Tutor field on the School tab of students who are transferred when the new academic year is created. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab in the Current students manual.
YearsUntilGraduation	Used to determine peer year when transferring current students to past students. For example year 12 students have 0 years until graduation, while year 7 students have 5 years until graduation. Important Note: This field must be set consistently across all year levels, or Synergetic's calculation of a student's Peer Year may be incorrect.
CEOLanguagePolicyCode	CEO language policy code for the selected year level. Typical values include: CL - Compulsory CLEAL - Compulsory (except for EAL students) O - Optional.
YearLevelGroup	Link the year level to a year level group. These can be used to: link year levels for custom Crystal Reports filter whether award points are applied to students based on their year level on the Awards sub-tab of Subject Assessment Maintenance. See Defining criteria and points for an award in the Curriculum manual. Note: You can define year level groups in the luYearLevelGroup lookup table. See luYearLevelGroup lookup table. Important Note: This field must be set consistently across all year levels, or Synergetic's calculation of a student's Peer Year may be incorrect.
SubSchool	Sub-school that the year level applies to. This is used mostly by multi-campus organisations that provide schooling for all year levels at each campus. For example, year levels can be grouped into a: junior school middle school senior school. For example, you can search for current students based on their sub-school. Note: You can define sub-schools in the luSubSchool lookup table. See luSubSchool lookup table.
FormFieldName	The values for the year level as stored as either: Form and Home Room TutorGroup. This is primarily used for exports that require a field called Form. For example if Home Room is stored then that will be exported as Form.
