SIMs.net - User defined fields in reports?

[duncane]

I'm thinking about including the student's Windows username in SIMS as a user defined field - but only if I can figure out a way how to include them as a field in report.

 

I may be be stupid - but I can't seem to see how to do it. (We already have one user defined field, and it doesn't seem to visible to use in reports.)

 

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Duncan.

I will be interested to know the answer to this as I am thinking of a new user defined field and I would like to report on it.

When writing a report and getting to the screen where you add fields to the report scroll down the list of available fields and you should see UDF with a plus sign next to it. Clicking the plus should expand it and show all your lovely UDFs or User Defined Fields.

Thanks thats great

I was being dumb :-) I was so busy looking for something starting with "User" that I didn't consider it might be in there as an acronym.

 

D'oh!

 

Cheers,

Duncan.

Do you know how to get the contents of a UDF into a marksheet. I have ticked the assessment box in the UDF definition.

The Assessment checkbox enables you to filter a marksheet using your UDF.

To get the contents into a column you'd have to copy them into an Aspect.

The Student List reports are good here: you can just drag UDFs straight onto the report. There is even an Export button to get it straight to excel.
