Customize your OLR for Charters using RegEx FILLING
Thursday March 6, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am PST
Crooked River
Utilizing RegEx (Regular Expressions) to limit who can use On Line Registration for Charter school (or other special schools that might be limited)  Regular Expressions (regex) are a powerful tool used for pattern matching and searching within strings of text. They allow you to define complex search patterns that can be used to find, replace, or validate text based on certain criteria.  
A regex consists of characters that represent patterns, such as:

Literal characters: Match themselves (e.g., "a" matches "a").
Special characters: Represent actions or types of matches, like:
- . (dot) matches any character except a newline.
- \d matches any digit.
- \w matches any word character (letters, digits, underscores).
- * matches zero or more of the preceding element.
- + matches one or more of the preceding element.
- ^ indicates the start of a string.
- $ indicates the end of a string.

For example:

- \d+ matches one or more digits.
- ^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}$ matches a U.S. Social Security number (like 123-45-6789).

By adding RegEx you can set a criteria to look for before someone can finalize On Line Registration.

I will show how to create a User Defined page and fields to request a specific code given to a parent once they have been accepted by a Charter School. If the parent does not use the correct code they will be directed to contact the Charter School for the code or fill out the non Charter Registration. You can even have a specific code for multiple schools and each code will take them to that specific Charter Registration.

Skip the reports and get more from Synergy data exports with pivot tables and vlookup FULL
Thursday March 6, 2025 3:45pm - 4:45pm PST
Crooked River
A pivot table is a user-friendly tool to quickly and interactively summarize large amounts of data.  Vlookup is a handy formula allowing you to merge data from one spreadsheet onto another spreadsheet.  In many cases, once you are proficient with these skills you can stop searching for “canned” Synergy reports and get exactly what you need by exporting data to Excel or Google Sheets.

In this session, we will walk through several examples in which we quickly get relevant summary information from Synergy exports. We will also explore how the VLOOKUP formula can work together with pivot tables to take your spreadsheet skills to the next level.

This session assumes intermediate skills with Excel or Google Sheets, including navigation, selecting and filtering, and the use of basic formulas.
