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 |
