Automated Compute Student Progress Process

The Compute Student Progress process is automated. Set the frequency from 1 ??? 5 minutes. The default is 5. At that setting, the process restarts 5 minutes after the previous cycle is completed.

The window also displays the last time students were recalculated and the number of students marked for recalculation. These columns refresh every 10 seconds.

If you need to run the process manually for any reason, you can do either of these:

·       Use the Compute Student Progress window.

·       Use the Recalculate button on the Student Progress window.
