Category groups are used to define a specific credit achieved within a group of possible credits, for example a student may need to have either a French or a Spanish or an Italian credit, but not all three. This Category group could be defined as Language Group. If the codes for these courses have the correct category assigned, and this category is selected as a part of a category group, the course can be counted as filling the category group requirement for Language Group
To add/edit the category groups choose Marks/Grades, Define Category Groups. The purpose of category groups is so that you can group categories together. This is important for schools that use groups of courses where only one of a number of courses has to be fulfilled to get the credit. A good example of this is "Senior Social Science". In order for this to work, create a category group called "Senior Social Science" and then choose the categories that would count towards the fulfillment of the senior social science requirement. If you are missing categories from the list, edit the Define Categories file.
The Group Title is the title that will show up in the areas of concentration file.
The Short English/French Title is the name that will show up on the history tab in the student's record.
