Stat Wizard
Statistical graphs can be generated and printed based upon user-defined criteria via the Stat Wizard tool. The Stat Wizard is the most robust, colorful, efficient and user-friendly module in the GradeBook. The user can generate color-coded graphs and charts to analyze the academic and attendance performance of individual, as well as the entire class. It is so versatile that it can be used to graphically represent statistical information such as standard deviation, class average, number of students above or equal to the class average, and number of students below the class average.

Report Wizard
Reports can be generated and printed based upon user-defined criteria via the Report Wizard tool. The Report Wizard is an easy to use tool that allows you to set the properties and contents of a report. The user can choose which information he or she would like to report on, and exclude undesired information. Reporting can be as simple as printing a class roster for attendance checking, or be more complicated as printing student and student academic performance across several classes for student academic evaluation.

Database Portability
This the most essential feature for teachers who have to move from place to place and carry their workload with them wherever they go. Databases can be easily transferred onto a physical media in order to work on it at another location, and possibly on a different machine. This is useful when the user wants to retire to the luxury of his or her home settings without giving up the efficiency and convenience of using the GradeBook. Simply transfer the database into a physical media of sorts and transfer it to your machine at home.

Database Integrity
The Database Integrity is reportedly the most useful utilities for teachers on the go. Users prefer to be mobile, and often take work home or to other locations now have a sure fire way to check their work and ensure that they are always working with the most current version. This robust utility is a fail-safe way of overriding the most current changes to your GradeBook.

Customable User Interface
The feature was developed under the premise of our knowledge that users have their own styles and preferences when it comes to their work area. Background color, font type, size and style and other characteristics of the GradeBook can be set user’s own specific preferences. No need to be satisfied with one dreary and boring color. Set GradeBook according to your favorite schemes, or change it constantly. The choice is yours!


Information Control
The user is given full control over the information displayed in the GradeBook. Apart from the default first and last names of students, users can set other student information (such as ID number, email address, postal address) to be displayed in GradeBook. Assignment information, such as assignment due dates, assignment labels and objectives, and course information can also be changed at the click of the button.

Grading System
GradeBook displays students’ information based on the category of assignments. Foe example, one user may want to track information on quizzes, homework and examinations. These are displayed on different spreadsheets. However, the user has the option of consolidating all these categories of assignments and displaying the information on a single spreadsheet. All GradeBook requires is the entry of the points allocated to each student. It does the rest of the difficult work. It continuously calculates the total scores of students in assignments to date, a feature which can be turned on or off at will. It can also assign letter grades and student relative positions (according to best performance) to students based on user-defined settings.

Database Backup
GradeBook offers the cautious user a means of protecting him or herself. The database can be set up to perform automatic back ups of you work, or manually backed up to ensure that you always have a latest version for contingency purposes. Within the backup module, GradeBook can be set to automatically perform backups on a daily, weekly and monthly basis at a specified time. Also there is the ability to restore a previously backed up database if the need arises.
