Start Date Logic

Note the following:

  • This preference will determine the number of days the start date is green in roster views.  
  • The roster start date is considered Day 0 of the roster flag time period.  If the roster start date is in the past, a student may never display in green text. 
  • If no roster start date has been entered for a section, the student name will not display in green.
