Screen
Elements
The main screen of each of the four PRS Sections has the following elements
in common: the Menubar, the Section Tabs, the Function Buttons, the Table
Header Buttons, and the List Window.
The menus on the PRS Menubar provide options for:
• setting Preferences on the File Menu,
• starting and stopping Classes and configuring RF Clickers on the RF
Menu,
• establishing the communication link between the IR Receiver and the
PRS software on the Connection Menu,
• offering another way of moving from section to section using the View
Menu, and
• providing additional information about using the PRS system on the Help
Menu.
The Menus on the PRS Menubar are described in detail in the next section.
The Section Tabs provide a way of moving from one section to another. Each
of the four PRS sections has a set of Function Buttons that allow you to
create, edit, and delete the components of that section with additional,
specialized functions specific to the section.
Each section has a List Window where the work product of that section is
displayed in a table—Class Rosters, Questions, Sessions, Gradebooks, etc. A
feature of each List Window is the ability to click on a column Table Header
Button to sort the data in the List Window by the contents of that column.
For example, in the Classes Roster List Window shown above, a click on the
Last Name Table Header Button will order the entries in the Roster List
Window alphabetically in ascending order based on the students’ last names.
A green Sort Indicator Arrow will display on the Table Header Button used
to index the contents of the table. Click on the Table Header Button with the
Sort Indicator Arrow to toggle between ascending and descending sort order.
This feature is available in every dialog that has a List Window.
