Description

This extension tweaks and/or adds some functionality in the Follett Apsen Gradebook and Attendance reports.
More specifically, it
a) allows you to copy some or all of the email addresses from the Gradebook --> Roster report as well as the Students-->Student List report, and new in version 0.0.7, from the Attendance reports as well
b) better enables/disables the absent/present button in the Attendance reports, adds a count of the number present/absent students at the top of the report, and, last but not least, auto-selects the TimeIn field in the Lates dialog so all you have to do is enter the time.

NB - this extension is currently setup to only work with the Aspen SIS for the Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB). Contact me directly if you are interested in it for your board

To see things in action, simply open Aspen and change to the Gradebook tab
Select one of your classes
If necessary, change to a field set which includes email addresses
Then select one or more rows in the table
Click the copy emails icon (which'll appear on the left side of the screen... right above the table)
The email addresses will be auto-magically copied to the clipboard so you can paste them into your email tool (NB: use the BCC option!)

Alternatively, go to the Attendance report for a class
Click `A` to mark a student absent (and the button will be disabled); click `P` to mark them present (and the absent button will be re-enabled)
Click `L` to mark a student late and the Time In field will be auto-selected... no not a magical feature but it'll save you several clicks per day

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
