- It is important that you set up your file in the order of these menu
- options. This one first then names, then the register. You are strongly
- advised to copy this disc so that if you do have major problems you can
- start again. Setting up is straight forward if you obey the instructions
- carefully. To customise your menus you will have to replace the CTC sprite
- in the file SPCTC by your own school logo and the title string at the
- beginning of the program. Colours could also be redefined. Computer
- literate staff or pupils should be able to do this for you quite simply.

- Each school has its own way of grouping pupils, but most use tutor
- groups of one type or another. The program assumes that you will deal with
- not more than 240 pupils on one machine and that each tutor group will
- contain no more than 30 pupils. All features of the program will work
- properly with more than 30 in a group with the exception of list by tutor
- group which gives a screen view of a block of the register. In this case
- only the first 30 students will be displayed if there are more than 30 in
- the group.
- In order to make things easier in operation this part of the program
- allows you to set up a tutor menu for use in the program itself. You can
- identify tutor groups by a short code, - the year group followed by up to 3
- characters eg 1SM - and by a longer version for titles and the menu eg 1 St.
- Martin. (At present the year group designator should be 1 character despite
- the NC! Also it is safest to use the full 4 character code for the
- abbreviation as this has been more thoroughly tested) If you simply want to
- use 1ABC for both identifiers this is OK too. The long/short method is useful
- in schools which call tutor groups after the teacher for example. If you
- make a mistake during this set up use the delete key if you have not pressed
- RETURN otherwise start again.
- Simply press the left hand mouse button to select and follow the
- prompts.
