Group writer is similar to Multimode in that it allows you to enter report text into multiple students simultaneously. The editor window will show the subject you were editing before you entered Group writer.
Click the 'Group' icon to enter the Group writer view...
You can double-click on statements in the statement tree or type text manually. The 'Add to start', 'Replace all' and 'Add to end' buttons will move the text into the students reports that are currently in the 'Selected' area. It is important that you write in the correct gender perspective because the program will convert gender specific pronouns to control words - if you type in the wrong gender perspective then when your text is copied into the student report it will be in the wrong gender.
| A. | Create a group: You can directly create a new group in Group writer by clicking the 'Create group' button. The group name will then appear in the 'Add from group' area. |
| B. | Add students from a group to the selected list: If you double-click any of the group names in the 'Add from group' section, then the students in that group will be added to the 'Selected' area. Note: It does not replace the students in the list, it just adds them to the list. |
| C. | Add students to a group: If you click and hold a student in the 'Available students' area, then you can drag them down into a group (in the 'Add from group' area). If you drag a student into an empty area of 'Add from groups' then you will be asked for a new group name and a new group will be created containing that student. Note: The student will not disappear from the 'Available students' area, so they can be dragged in to other groups too. |
| D. | Add a student to the the selected list: If you double-click any of the students in the 'Available students' area then they will be moved into the 'Selected' area. |
| E. | Remove a student from the selected list: If you double-click any of the students in the 'Selected' area then they will be moved into the 'Available students' area. |
| F. | The gender perspective the user should write in: The circled area shows you the gender perspective you should write your report in. Note: To change the gender perspective, just single-click a student that has the gender you want to write in. |
| G. | Add the text to favourites: Click the 'Make favourite' button to copy the text to your favourites. |
Group writer vs. Multimode:
Group writer has an advantage over Multimode in that manual editing applies to all the selected students, the disadvantage is that it is a much slower way of entering text into multiple students reports.
Important: To exit Group writer, click the 'Exit' button, do not click the quit button unless you want to exit ReportComplete itself!
