File types

File types are used throughout Synergetic to:

distinguish between academic and non-academic classes; and to
divide the non-academic areas into meaningful categories.

The file type can then be used to easily select records of students who are undertaking a certain type of class. For example:

academic classes
music classes
sport
and so on.

For example, if you want to select the music students in Crystal Reports, you choose a FileType equal to M (for music).

Note: You can configure non-academic file types in whatever way suits your organisation's structure. For example, you can change the C file type to Co-curricular activities, or Cadets.
