STR - Transfer Students to Past

This program is used to create a record in the Past Student module for students who have left the school.

Selection Criteria

Year Groups

This field allows you to run the transfer for a single or multiple year groups.

Leave this field blank to run the transfer for all year groups.

Include Students with Date of Leaving up to

Use this field to transfer students who have a 'Date of Leaving' up to and including this date.

A student's 'Date of Leaving' is recorded in program Student Admin > Student Records > Student Information > Students on the 'General' tab.

Any student with a 'Date of Leaving' after the date you nominate here, will not be included in the transfer process.

Keep Student Linked To Parent Address

By ticking this option, the Past Student records created will be linked to the student's parent record and the Past Student's address will be derived from the linked parent's default address number.

After the transfer has been completed and the Past Student record has been created, changes to the default address block on the linked Parent Record will flow through to the Past Student record.

Therefore correspondence to 'new' Past Students will be directed to their parents' default address during a time when Past Students' address information is likely to change a lot.

You can then go into individual Past Student records and sever the link when the Past Student notifies the school that he/she now has his/her own address.

By unticking this option, the Past Student records created will not be linked to their parent record. Instead, the Past Student's address will be copied from their parent record using the address block that is set up in program Student Admin > Past Students > Setup Information > Past Student Setup.

Transfer student Email address

Tick this option to transfer the 'Email' address in program Student Admin > Student Records > Student Information > Students to the 'e-mail' field in program Past Students > Student Information > Past Students on the 'Address' tab.

Transfer student Mobile Phone

Tick this option to transfer the 'Mobile Phone' in program Student Admin > Student Records > Student Information > Students to the 'Mob Phone' field in program Student Admin > Past Students > Student Information > Past Students on the 'Address' tab.
