Wild cards

You can choose any name for student groups. You can even call them by what they are, e.g. ‘Basketball - lower levels’. We defined a series of wild cards in order to make entering student groups easier for you.

By serial change, e.g. enter: @_#. And the student group also gets serial numbering: D_1, E_2, Tw_3, etc.

The combination: SUBJECT_CLASS is a very reasonable decision in many cases. Whenever many classes are involved (e.g. optional subjects) and changes can occur regarding listing these classes, we recommend to use names which rather have a meaning than contain a list of classes, e.g. instead of 'VB_1A1B2A2B2C3A3B' it would be better to call this class ‘Volleyball’ or ‘Volleyball - lower levels’.

Not every lesson needs to (and without any reason should not) have a student group.

Warning: student group names

Naming student groups of a lesson must be the same across all terms. Even if the room or the teachers change, the name must remain the same. Therefore, we do not recommend to use teacher or room names when finding a designation for a student group. If the teacher or the room changes during the school year, the student group must have the same name, i.e. an ‘optical inconsistency’ would occur. Any changes in student group names have an impact on the class register and should only be made for a new term. A student group defines the identity of a lesson. Another student group brings about another lesson.
