Please review the topic that explains how to rename certain data fields and track additional information about students, such as teacher names and grades. We will now detail how to record this information in the loan transaction and generate a report that lists students by grade or by teacher, along with the books they have loaned out.
Steps to Record Additional Data in Loan Transactions:
Display check out Extra1, Extra2
In the Options window, check Display Check Out Extra1,2 Fields. Then, in the c:\hand_lib\data\db folder, find the loan.map file and define the mapping. In our mapping we are using our new renamed data fields.
Define mapping
In the c:\hand_lib\data\db folder, find the loan.map file and define the mapping. In our mapping we are using our new renamed data fields: TEACHER, GRADE (how to rename data fields).
Review check out transaction
The check-out transaction window displays the student's teacher name and the grade. This information is recorded in the loan transaction.
Review transactions in the Manage Loans table
In the Manage Loans table, loan transactions include teacher and grade data.
Define overdue items report grouped by teacher name
Now you can use the teacher and grade data in overdue reports. For example,
you can create the outstanding items reports where item and student information is grouped by teacher.
Explanation: EXTRA2 stores teacher name, EXTRA1 stores grade info.
Question:
At my school, I want to record each kid's name and their teacher in the loan transactions. Later, I will only communicate with the teachers about overdue items.
Answer:
Yes, you can do this. You will need to enter the names of the teachers
into the borrowers table for each student. After that, you must modify
the mapping file to define additional fields that should be recorded in the loan transactions.
