Hi Elias, Thanks for your interest. I'd certainly like to have a look at the definition, can you point me to a copy of it? We're trying to make a default schema which will work in a wide variety of schools. However, what we'd really want to do in a case like yours, where we can coordinate at a national scale, is set up a custom profile for your country that provides the demographic schema and reports you need. --Tom _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
