If you plan to use the
KeyWords RP
reports (within
Renaissance Place), there
are a few setup tasks you will
need to perform, and you will
need to make sure your
KeyWords students are in
Renaissance Place as well.
See the KeyWords User
Manual in Renaissance Place.
If KeyWords is not
installed on your
NEO, see page 79 to
install it.
