Setting Up the My Grade Report Portlet

EX Setup

Several portlets allow the user to create custom reports that the user can see from within the portlet. During installation, several reports (InfoMaker .pbl files) are copied into default directories on the web server that these portlets access. Update the location of the customized reports for the My Grade Report portlet.

Perform the following steps to configure EX to support this portlet.

1.        Open the UI Configuration window.

a.        In the Category Name drop-down list, choose Registration.

i.           Locate the row for ReportPBLPath.

1)        In the Value column, enter the location of the .pbl for the Registration module.

ii.         Locate the row for GradeReport.

1)        In the Value column, enter the name of the report to be run from the web.

b.        Click the Save button.

2.        Open the Registration Configuration window.

a.        In the Recalculate Academic Record Controls group box, choose the Number of Decimal Places to Use in GPA. This setting impacts both EX and the CRM portlets.

b.        Click the Save button.

3.        Open the Hold Setup window.

a.        Click the Hold Definition tab.

b.        Select the Show on Web check box for each Hold Code to be displayed in the My Grade Report portlet.
