Posting your Easy Grade Pro grades to the World Wide Web

1) Enter passwords for one or more students in the Records window or Student chart. Not only are passwords used to gain access to reports on the internet, they are used as filters when creating reports: students without passwords are skipped. Passwords must consist of letters and numbers only and must be between six and twenty-four characters in length. They are not case sensitive at all.  Please check before assigning passwords.  There will be a standard format for each school.  For example it might be the student luch code and the schools initials  1234JMS.
 

                                    
2) Select Internet from the File menu or use the Internet tool  on the tool Palette to open the Internet Reports window.

                                      

3) Enter the name of the school or your name in the field at the bottom of the window. This name is used in the title area of the reports.

                                                                

4) Select the HTML tab and select either Multi-class or Single-class WEBSITE Reports.
Select Multi-Class Website Reports if you have the same students in multiple classes or subjects and wish to produce reports that include all subjects. Otherwise, select Single-class Website Reports. Click Next.

                                                              


5) Set the desired options in the Report Options window. Many of the options found in this window are identical to those found in the window for the printed progress reports but there are differences as follows:

• Students without passwords will be skipped.

MAIN PAGE OPTIONS. The main page is a password page where the viewer must choose a class, enter a name and password. Optionally, It Should  include a message from the teacher and the teacher's email address. To include a message, select the Include Main Page Text option. Then click the set button and enter the text. The text might include a greeting, directions, and a request to sign up and send a password. If you would like people to be able to click on a button to send you email, enter your email address in the Email field.
                                            

 

 • HTML OPTIONS. Click this to open a window where the style and colors used in the tables of the report can be set.
                                                       
• LABEL OPTIONS. Click this to open the Gradebook Options window so that labels used in the report can be edited.

• USE CUSTOM STUDENT TITLE. For security, it is strongly recommended that you turn on this option. Then click the set button to open the Custom Student Title Options window and set the display of the student in Line 1 to ID only or turn on the Exclude 'Line 1' from Internet reports which causes any reference to the student to be omitted.
            


6) Click CREATE. Follow the prompt to create a folder on your desktop. Give the folder the name "Gradebook". Easy Grade Pro will automatically create the main page, named index.html, Rename that file to "grades"other special files as well as a folder for each class with reports. You must use the same folder name every time you create reports so that the link to your grades.html does not break. 

Rename the index file to grades

       

7) Quit Easy Grade Pro. Find the folder you created, open it and double-click on the grades.html page. If it doesn't open, first open your web browser, choose Open from the File menu, then navigate to the grades.html page and open it. Or select open with file type from the command box.  If there is an element in the main page or in the reports that you would like to change, delete the folder and start over.  This is what you should see.



8) Now open your web folder on the champaignschools.org server.  Create a new folder entitled "Gradebook"  Do this by right clicking and selecting new- Folder.  Upload the files within the gradebook folder from your desktop to the web folder. 


9) Using a web design program, provide a link from your web page to the grades.html page within your folder of grade reports.

The link address should look like this http://www.champaignschools.org/staffwebsites/yourusername/gradebook/grades.html
