Understanding the Setup Table

Each setup table may include some or all of the following elements. Reports will not display elements that are not pertinent to that report.

• Breadcrumbs – Navigation aid used to show the path to the data entry page as listed on the page in PowerSchool.

Example: Courses > Edit Course District Information.
Each ">" indicates a new page or link.

• Navigation – Navigation to the data entry page based on the path to the page.

Example: Select Courses > Select [Course].
Each ">" indicates the link to select.
Note: The first page in the navigation is Start Page. This page name is removed for brevity.

• Data Element – The name of the field as it appears on the page.
• Additional Information – Guidance for correct data entry.
• [Table] – The name of the table where the data is stored.
• Field Name – The name of the field where the data is stored.

Note: The Table name appears in brackets with the Field Name directly following. Example: [Table]FieldName.

• Length – The length (in characters) of the data to be entered, as defined by the state.
• Used in these Reports – The name of each report that uses the data element. This field may be populated with "Required Setup" or "Not Required" to indicate whether the data element should be configured for Montana state reporting not specific to a report.
