Student Manager Preferences

Select Student Manager behavior options and enable/disable fields on the Preferences screen. Access the Preferences screen by:

• Clicking the Edit Preferences button on the Quick Launch
• Clicking the Preferences button on the Main Toolbar
• Selecting Edit > Preferences

Preferences are categorized onto tabs:

• System Preferences
• Name Preferences
• Course Preferences
• Registration Preferences
• Organization Defaults
• Pocket Ledger Preferences
• Firm Preferences
• Faculty Preferences
• Pay Preferences

Enabling/Disabling Fields

Optional fields for modules appear in the Enable Fields section. If you don't intend to use the field(s), uncheck the box to the left of the field name.

Disabling fields you don't use allows you to increase data entry productivity (e.g. data entry personnel won't need to tab through the field(s) in which they don't enter data to get to the ones they do).

Module Behavior Preferences

Many modules have behavior options you can enable or disable. Those are listed in the System Behavior Preferences section.

Color Coded Preferences

Preferences on each tab are color-coded:

• Black - are user specific (they effect the user only).
• Blue - are global (effect every user).  You must have level 6 access to edit preferences in blue.  Note: these should not be changed without the permission of your Student Manager administrator.
• Purple -  user must be a level 6 in the particular area to use the option (e.g. user must be level 6 in Pay to edit receipt numbers).

Access to Preferences

Your Student Manager Administrator can disallow your ability to edit preferences.

If your Preferences Icon on the Main Toolbar or the [Edit Preferences icon on the Quick Launch is grayed out, you don't have rights to edit your preferences.  Please see your administrator for more information.
