Journal tool

Using the Journal tool, an Instructor can log important events in the process of teaching: create a list of registered students, a list of quizzes and polls performed during the lesson, results of quizzing and polling, Instructor’s comments. The journal later may be saved, reviewed or printed.

Uncheck “Ask at startup” option to disable displaying this prompt at program start up, in this case the specified Teacher name, Teacher ID and Class name will be saved and used by default in the current Net Control 2 profile.

When the prompt is disabled, you can re-enable it, setting up (enabling) “Display Start Journal prompt at startup” option in Control Options: in Administrator Console click menu command N -> Options -> Control Options. On the Commands page, check this option and click OK.
